ANSI B16.5 Reducing Flange

Reducing Pipe Flange Suppliers | ASME/ANSI B16.5, B16.47 Series A & B, B16.48

A reducing flange is a type of flange designed to connect pipes or fittings of different sizes. It features two different diameter openings: one side has a larger bore, while the other side has a smaller bore. This allows the flange to facilitate a transition between two pipes or components with different sizes, making it a critical part of systems that require a size reduction in fluid or gas flow. The design of reducing flanges allows for a secure, leak-proof connection while accommodating different pipe sizes. It is available in both slip-on and weld-neck designs, with the choice depending on the application’s pressure and temperature requirements. Reducing flanges are manufactured to meet various industry standards, such as ASME B16.5, DIN, and ANSI, ensuring compatibility and reliable performance.

Ample Alloys combines cutting-edge manufacturing technology, rigorous quality control, and a customer-first approach, making it the go-to partner for industries worldwide. With a global network and a commitment to timely delivery, the company continues to set new standards in reliability and performance.
