Lap Joint Flange, RF, DN32, 300 LB, B16.5, ASTM A182 F316, ASTM A182 F316L

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.

During installation, the stub end is slid onto the pipe or fitting, and the backing flange is aligned with the stub end. The two components are then fastened together using bolts, which are inserted through the bolt holes in the backing flange and tightened. The lap joint allows for rotational movement and adjustment between the two components, providing flexibility in alignment and ease of assembly.

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.
