The ASME/ANSI B16.5 Lap Joint (LJ) flange is a two-piece component consisting of a backing flange and a stub end. This design allows the flange to rotate freely around the pipe, facilitating easy alignment during installation. It is commonly used in systems requiring frequent dismantling for inspection or cleaning, such as those in the chemical, food processing, and water treatment industries.

Especificaciones de Material:
Lap Joint flanges are available in a range of materials to meet application-specific requirements:
- Backing Flange Materials: Typically carbon steel or stainless steel for cost efficiency.
- Stub End Materials:
- Acero al Carbono: ASTM A105, A350 LF2
- Acero inoxidable: ASTM A182 F304, F316, F321
- Aleaciones de Níquel: Inconel, Monel, Hastelloy
- Acero Inoxidable Dúplex: ASTM A182 F51, F53
Material selection ensures compatibility with the pipe material and process conditions, including corrosion and temperature resistance.
Características principales:
- Rotatable Design: Facilitates easy alignment with bolt holes during assembly.
- Economical Option: Backing flange can be made from less expensive materials, reducing costs.
- Ease of Maintenance: Ideal for systems requiring frequent dismantling or inspection.
- Stress Reduction: The loose connection minimizes stress transfer from the flange to the pipe.
- Standard Compliance: Manufactured per ASME/ANSI B16.5 standards for precise dimensions and interchangeability.
Aplicaciones:
- Procesamiento Químico: Ideal for corrosive fluid systems requiring regular maintenance.
- Food and Beverage Industry: Hygienic systems needing easy disassembly for cleaning.
- Tratamiento de Agua: Pipelines in desalination, wastewater, and distribution systems.
- Pharmaceuticals: Systems with strict sanitary requirements.
- Petróleo & Gas: Non-critical applications or low-pressure piping systems.
