Midland Forge and Fittings Pvt. Ltd. is a trusted name in the manufacturing and export of high-performance piping components, with a strong specialization in steel flanges. With years of expertise in forging technology and metallurgical excellence.
we deliver flanges that combine dimensional accuracy, mechanical strength, and corrosion resistance to meet the toughest global standards. Produced in stainless steel, carbon steel, alloy steel, and duplex/super duplex grades, our flanges cover a wide size range from ½” to 60” and pressure classes from 150# to 2500#.
A flange is a precision-engineered connector used in piping systems to join pipes, valves, pumps, and other equipment. Unlike permanent joints, flanges allow easy assembly and disassembly, making inspection and maintenance straightforward. They are typically secured with bolts and gaskets to ensure a strong, leak-proof connection. By providing both structural support and operational flexibility, flanges play a critical role in maintaining safety and efficiency in fluid and gas transport systems.
At Midland Forge, quality is at the core of every flange we manufacture. Each product undergoes stringent testing, from raw material verification to final inspection, ensuring compliance with international codes and client specifications. Our state-of-the-art forging and machining facilities enable us to meet complex project requirements with precision and speed. With a proven track record of timely deliveries and customized solutions, we are committed to being a reliable partner for global EPC contractors, fabricators, and end-users.

What are the key factors to consider when selecting a piping flange?
When choosing a flange, engineers must evaluate multiple parameters beyond size and material:
- Pressure Class – Ensure the flange can withstand the design pressure at the specified operating temperature (ASME classes: 150, 300, 600, 900, 1500, 2500).
- Temperature Rating – Flange materials lose strength at high temperatures; check ASME B16.5 or B16.47 temperature-pressure charts.
- Material Compatibility – Select material (CS, SS, Alloy, Duplex, etc.) based on fluid type (corrosive, cryogenic, high-temp, sour service).
- Facing Type – Choose RF (Raised Face), FF (Flat Face), RTJ (Ring Type Joint), or Tongue & Groove depending on sealing requirements.
- Connection Type – Welding neck, slip-on, socket weld, threaded, or lap joint based on ease of installation and strength needs.
- Industry Standards – Verify compliance with ASME, API, AWWA, EN 1092-1, BS, DIN, or GOST depending on project specification.
What is the difference between Raised Face (RF) and Ring Type Joint (RTJ) flanges?
-
Raised Face (RF):
- Common in petrochemical and water treatment plants.
- Uses flat/spiral wound gaskets.
- Economical and widely available.
- Not suitable for extremely high pressure.
-
Ring Type Joint (RTJ):
- Designed for high-pressure (Class 600+) and high-temperature services.
- Uses a metallic ring gasket seated in a precision-machined groove.
- Provides metal-to-metal sealing, ideal for oil & gas, refineries, subsea pipelines.
- Prevents gasket blowout under fluctuating pressure.
What are the common failure modes of flanges and how can they be prevented?
-
Gasket Leakage: Caused by poor surface finish, incorrect torque, or gasket mismatch.
- Prevention → Follow ASME PCC-1 bolting guidelines, use proper torque sequence.
-
Bolt Failure: Due to over-tightening, fatigue, or corrosion.
- Prevention → Use coated/grade-specified bolts, controlled tightening.
-
Corrosion (Crevice / Pitting): Happens in flange faces or bolt holes.
- Prevention → Material upgrade (Duplex, Inconel), apply anti-corrosion coating.
-
Misalignment Stress: Caused during installation.
- Prevention → Ensure proper alignment with pipe spool tolerances.
-
Thermal Expansion Cracking: In high-temp services.
- Prevention → Allow for expansion joints and flexible couplings.
