Lap Joint Flange

Get In Touch
Lap Joint Flange Manufacturer & Supplier in Mumbai
Nishra Overseas manufactures and supplies Lap Joint Flange in Mumbai for piping systems where easy alignment, repeated disassembly, and maintenance access are important. A lap joint flange, also called a loose ring or backing flange, is used together with a lap joint stub end that is welded to the pipe. Unlike a conventional weld neck or slip-on flange, the backing flange is not welded directly to the pipe. It fits over the stub end and is bolted to the mating flange, allowing the flange ring to rotate for easier bolt-hole alignment.
Lap joint flange assemblies are particularly useful for piping systems that require frequent inspection, cleaning, maintenance, or dismantling. They can be supplied in stainless steel, carbon steel, alloy steel, duplex and other specified materials, depending on the piping specification and service conditions. Material selection depends on pressure, temperature, process fluid, corrosion environment, flange class and compatibility between the stub end and piping system. Nishra Overseas is an ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturer, stockist and exporter with more than 25 years of industry experience.
Lap Joint Flange Manufacturer in Mumbai
As a Lap Joint Flange Manufacturer in Mumbai, Nishra Overseas supplies lap joint flange assemblies according to applicable dimensional standards, material specifications and project requirements. The manufacturing process for the loose flange ring generally involves suitable raw material preparation, forging or flange-forming operations, heat treatment where required, precision machining, bolt-hole drilling, facing and dimensional inspection.
The stub end is a critical part of the assembly because it provides the pipe-facing sealing surface and is welded to the pipe. Therefore, the flange and stub-end dimensions must be compatible with the specified piping system.
Typical manufacturing and finishing operations include:
-
Raw material selection and identification
-
Forging or suitable flange forming
-
Heat treatment where required by material specification
-
CNC or precision machining
-
Bolt-hole drilling and dimensional control
-
Flange-face machining
-
Bore and inside-diameter machining
-
Stub-end dimensional verification where supplied
-
Surface inspection
-
Marking and traceability
-
Final dimensional inspection
ASME B16.5 specifies dimensional relationships for lap joint flanges and lap joint stub ends, including applicable facing configurations.

Lap Joint Flange Specifications
Lap joint flange specifications depend on the applicable flange standard, pressure class, nominal pipe size, material and stub-end configuration.
| Parameter | Specification / Availability |
|---|---|
| Product | Lap Joint Flange / Loose Ring Flange |
| Assembly | Lap Joint Flange + Stub End |
| Standard | ASME B16.5 or applicable project standard |
| Material | Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, Alloy Steel, Duplex and specified alloys |
| Manufacturing | Forged / formed and machined as applicable |
| Pressure Class | As specified by project requirement |
| Size | According to applicable dimensional standard |
| Facing | Flat Face / specified lap-joint configuration |
| Bore | According to compatible stub-end and pipe requirement |

ASME B16.5 covers pipe flanges and flanged fittings within its applicable size and pressure-class range and specifically addresses lap joint flange and stub-end configurations. For larger-diameter piping, another applicable flange standard may be specified by the project.
Features of Lap Joint Flange
Lap joint flanges are selected for specific piping arrangements where flange rotation and ease of disassembly provide practical installation or maintenance benefits.
Key features include:
-
Loose backing flange design
-
Used with a welded lap joint stub end
-
Flange ring can rotate for bolt-hole alignment
-
Easier installation where alignment is difficult
-
Suitable for frequent dismantling and maintenance
-
Reduced need to rotate the connected pipe during assembly
-
Available in multiple material grades
-
Compatible with different stub-end material combinations
-
Available across specified pressure classes
-
Suitable for project-specific flange facings
-
Supports material traceability and inspection documentation
-
Useful for piping systems requiring repeated access
A major procurement advantage is the ability to use a suitable stub-end material at the wetted pipe connection while selecting the backing flange material according to the mechanical and economic requirements of the assembly.
Applications of Lap Joint Flange
Lap joint flanges are commonly selected for piping systems where components need to be dismantled regularly or where flange alignment during installation is a practical concern.
Typical applications include:
-
Process piping systems
-
Oil and gas facilities
-
Petrochemical plants
-
Chemical processing
-
Refineries
-
Food and pharmaceutical processing

Standards & Specifications
ASME B16.5 is a key standard for pipe flanges and flanged fittings and includes dimensional requirements for lapped joint flanges and lap joint stub ends. The standard specifies lap-joint flange facing arrangements and dimensional relationships between the flange and stub end.
Common material specifications can include ASTM A105 for carbon steel forgings and ASTM A182 for specified stainless steel and alloy steel forgings, depending on the selected material grade and project requirement. The exact material specification must be confirmed from the purchase order or piping specification.
For larger sizes or special configurations, the applicable project standard should be confirmed before manufacturing.

-
Raw material verification
-
Chemical composition analysis
-
Mechanical testing
-
Tensile testing
-
Hardness testing where applicable
-
Dimensional inspection
-
Flange thickness inspection

How to Select the Right Lap Joint Flange
Before ordering a lap joint flange, buyers should confirm:
-
Size: Match the nominal pipe size and stub-end dimensions.
-
Pressure Class: Select according to design pressure and temperature.
-
Material: Consider process fluid, corrosion and mechanical requirements.
-
Grade: Specify the required ASTM or project material grade.
-
Stub End: Confirm short or long pattern and compatible dimensions.
-
Facing: Verify the required mating and sealing arrangement.
-
Bore: Ensure compatibility with the pipe and stub end.
-
Standard: Confirm ASME B16.5 or another project-specific standard.
-
Temperature: Check material suitability at operating conditions.
-
Inspection: Specify MTC, PMI, NDE or third-party inspection where required.
-
Quantity: Provide project quantity and delivery schedule.
Correct selection requires considering the flange and stub end as an assembly rather than treating the loose flange ring as an independent pipe connection.
