Lap Joint Flange, FF, 3 Inch, 150 Class, B16.5, ASTM A350 LF1

A lap joint flange (LJ) is an assembly of two elements involving a stub end and a lap joint ring flange (also called a ‘lap joint flange’). To be technically correct, the stub end is not part of a lap joint flange. However, a lap joint flange is always used in conjunction with a stub end, so both parts are often collectively referred to as a ‘lap joint flange’.

Lap Joint Flange Dimension

A lap joint flange, also known as a loose flange, is a type of flange that is used to connect two separate sections of pipe or fittings together. It consists of two main components: the stub end and the backing flange.

Lap joint flanges are commonly used in low-pressure and non-critical applications. They are often found in systems that require frequent dismantling or in systems where easy access for inspection or cleaning is necessary. Lap joint flanges are typically used in industries such as water treatment, oil and gas, petrochemical, and HVAC.

One of the advantages of the lap joint flange is its ability to handle misalignments and adjustments during installation. The rotational movement provided by the lap joint allows for slight angular deviations or changes in the centerline alignment of the pipes or fittings. This makes the lap joint flange suitable for applications where alignment precision is not critical or where there may be thermal expansion or vibration.
