Dipti Metal Industries, as a leading global manufacturer, stockist, and supplier, offers a comprehensive range of flanges conforming to key API standards, ensuring the best quality and compliance for a large variety of critical oil & gas projects worldwide.

• API 6A (Specification for Wellhead and Christmas Tree Equipment):
  • This is a critical standard for wellhead and Christmas tree components, including flanges. It specifies pressure ratings, dimensions, materials, and testing for equipment directly involved in drilling and production operations.
  • Pressure Ratings: API 6A uses PSI ratings: 2000, 3000, 5000, 10000, 15000, and 20000 PSI, reflecting the extremely high pressures in wellhead applications. We manufacture and stock flanges for the biggest pressure demands.
  • Flange Types: Primarily Weld Neck and Blind flanges, often with Ring Type Joint (RTJ) facings for metal-to-metal seals. We produce these specialized flanges.
• API 605 (Large Diameter Carbon Steel Flanges):
  • This standard specified flanges for pipeline applications. It has now been largely incorporated into ASME B16.47 Series B (Large Diameter Steel Flanges), ensuring broader compatibility. We manufacture and supply to this integrated standard.
  • Pressure Classes: Typically covers classes 150#, 300#, 600#, and 900#.
• API 17D (Specification for Subsea Production Systems):
  • Covers flanges and connectors designed for subsea applications, addressing challenges like external pressure, marine corrosion, and remote operation. We have manufacturing capabilities for these extreme service flanges.
  • These flanges are engineered for extreme underwater environments.
• Material Specifications: API standards often reference ASTM material grades but may include additional requirements specific to oil & gas service (e.g., NACE MR0175 for sour service). We select and process these specialized materials in our manufacturing.

Our deep understanding of API standards and their rigorous requirements ensures that Dipti Metal Industries is a top global leader in manufacturing and supplying compliant flanges, providing comprehensive and dependable solutions for large-scale, high-stakes projects in the oil & gas industry worldwide.

Flange Facing Types for API Flanges, Precision Manufactured

The flange facing is exceptionally critical for establishing a secure, leak-proof seal in API applications due to the extreme pressures and temperatures. We manufacture and supply API flanges with the most common and effective facing types, ensuring precision engineering:

• Ring Type Joint (RTJ):
  • Description: Features a precisely machined groove into which a metallic ring gasket (oval or octagonal cross-section) is fitted. This is the most common and preferred facing type for API flanges, especially API 6A.
  • Usage: Provides a metal-to-metal seal, creating an extremely strong, reliable, and leak-proof connection. Essential for high-pressure, high-temperature, and severe corrosive applications where positive sealing is paramount.
  • Applications: Heavily used across all critical oil & gas applications, including wellheads, Christmas trees, and high-pressure pipelines. Considered a premium choice for extreme conditions. We precision machine these in our manufacturing.
• Raised Face (RF):
  • Description: The gasket surface is raised above the bolting circle face. Used for API 605 (ASME B16.47 Series B) flanges. Our manufacturing ensures precise RF dimensions.
  • Usage: Designed to concentrate the compressive load on a smaller gasket area, increasing the joint's ability to contain pressure. Used with various non-metallic and metallic gaskets.
  • Applications: Typically for large diameter pipeline flanges (API 605 / ASME B16.47 Series B) where RTJ may not be strictly required or preferred.

Our comprehensive stock includes API flanges, both manufactured by us and sourced, with these facing types, ensuring Dipti Metal Industries is the best source for optimal sealing solutions in the demanding oil & gas piping systems worldwide. We are a top global manufacturer and exporter of diverse API flange solutions.

  • This process is critical for maintaining material integrity, especially for stainless, duplex, and alloy steel flanges in sour service (NACE compliant materials). We ensure complete material verification for all our manufactured products for our clients globally.
• Non-Destructive Testing (NDT):
  • Various NDT methods are applied to our manufactured flanges as per specific API standard requirements and project specifications:
    • Ultrasonic Testing (UT): To detect internal discontinuities within the material and ensure weld integrity (for weld neck flanges), ensuring the integrity of our manufactured product.
    • Radiography Testing (RT): For volumetric inspection of butt welds in weld neck flanges produced in our facility.
    • Magnetic Particle Testing (MPT) / Liquid Penetrant Testing (LPT): To detect surface and near-surface discontinuities on our flanges, critical for flange integrity and sealing surfaces.
    • Hydrostatic Testing: To verify the pressure-retaining capability of the API flange assembly manufactured by us, often performed at pressures significantly higher than the working pressure.
• Mechanical Testing:
  • Includes tensile tests, hardness tests, impact tests (e.g., Charpy V-notch for low-temperature service), performed on our manufactured API flange material to ensure it meets specified mechanical property requirements for high-pressure, high-stress conditions.
• Corrosion Testing:
  • For API flanges in sour service, NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 compliant materials undergo specific corrosion testing to ensure resistance to sulfide stress cracking. We ensure our manufactured products meet these stringent requirements.
• Certification & Documentation:
  • All our manufactured API flanges are supplied with full Mill Test Certificates (MTCs) conforming to EN 10204 Type 3.1 and 3.2. This is crucial for international projects and reflects our commitment as a manufacturer.
    • Type 3.1: Certified by our manufacturer's authorized inspection representative, confirming compliance with order requirements.
