    Flange Face Type

    Uploaded by

    Faisal Awad
    This document describes several types of flange designs used for piping connections: Flat face flanges have two flat mating surfaces where the gasket may cover the entire face. Male-female flanges have one face raised and the other recessed to prevent metal-to-metal contact. Unconfined gaskets sit within the flange bolts while semi-confined gaskets are recessed slightly. Tongue and groove flanges have one face grooved to accept the tongue of the other flange in a fully confined gasket joint. Groove to flat flanges have one flat face and one face grooved, only allowing resilient gaskets. Ring joints or API joints have matching grooves for spiral wound

    Flange Types

    Flat Face Male-Female

    Unconfined Gasket Semi-Confined Gasket


    ■ Mating faces of both flanges are flat ■ Depth of female (recessed) face normally equal to
    ■ Gasket may be ring type, or full face, which covers or less than height of male (raised) face, to prevent
    the entire face both inside and outside the bolts metal-to-metal contact during gasket compression
    ■ Recessed O.D. normally is not more than 1/16"
    larger than the O.D. of the male face
    Raised Face ■ Joint must be pried apart for disassembly

    Tongue and Groove

    Unconfined Gasket
    ■ Flange sealing surface is reduced to achieve higher
    seating stress
    ■ Gasket is usually ring type, contained entirely Fully Confined Gasket
    within bolts ■ Groove depth is equal to or less than tongue height
    ■ Groove usually not over 1/16" wider than tongue
    Ring Joint ■
    ■
    Gasket dimensions will match tongue dimensions
    Joint must be pried apart for disassembly

    Groove to Flat

    Also Called "API Joint" or "RTJ"


    ■ Both flange faces have matching flat-bottomed
    grooves with sides tapered from the vertical at 23°
    ■ Gasket seats on flat section of flange between bore
    and ring joint groove Fully Confined Gasket
    ■ Garlock spiral wound gaskets can replace solid ■ One flange face is flat, the other is recessed
    metal ring gaskets ■ For applications requiring accurate control of gas-
    ket compression
    ■ Only resilient gaskets are recommended—spiral
    wound, hollow metal O-ring, pressure-actuated,
    and metal-jacketed gaskets
