Forged Flange

A flange item for the adjoining component or pipe connection. This flange is produced to the specified part drawing. The manufacturing specification includes forging and precision machining.

Technical Overview

• Part: Flange
• Processing: Precision Machined, Forged

Flange Design and Assembly

• Mounting pattern: define hole quantity, hole size and bolt-circle or coordinate positions.
• Mating face: identify the contact surface and any seal-related details present in the design.
• Center opening: specify bore geometry, overall thickness and the connection to the adjoining part.

Material and Manufacturing Requirements

The material grade is to be defined with the order drawing. Identify the intended equipment and service environment so that the material requirement can be agreed before the manufacturing specification is finalized.

Forging is included in the specification. Identify the finished-part geometry and distinguish surfaces requiring later machining from those to be accepted in the forged condition.

Precision machining is specified for this component. Identify the critical dimensions, their reference datums and the surfaces requiring a defined finish so the quotation reflects the functional requirements of the actual part.

Quotation Information

State outside diameter, thickness, bolt-circle geometry and mating-face requirements. Identify the connection standard where one applies. Include the drawing revision, required quantity and any sample or inspection documentation needed for approval.
