Component of Swivel Flange
Forged Outer Ring
- Rotates around the pipe to allow precise alignment with mating flanges.
- Ensures easy installation without moving the pipe.
- Provides a bolt connection surface compatible with standard flange patterns.
Heavy Forged Welding Hub
- Forms the structural connection to the pipe through welding or threading.
- Provides strength and stability under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions.
- Supports rotational movement of the outer ring without compromising integrity.
Gasket
- Sits between the flange faces to create a leak-proof seal.
- Available in materials suitable for specific fluids, temperatures, and pressures.
- Can be flat, raised, or ring type, depending on flange design.
By Connection Type
Threaded Swivel Flange
- Screws onto the pipe
- Suitable for low pressure
- Easy to install/remove
- No welding required
Welded Swivel Flange
- Permanently welded to pipe
- Handles high pressure
- Stable and reliable
- Critical industrial use
Lap Joint Swivel Flange
- Works with stub end
- Allows free rotation
- Easy alignment
- No welding for flange
By Face Type
Flat Face (FF)
- Flat sealing surface

- Ideal for low pressure
- Works with full gaskets
Raised Face (RF)
- Raised sealing surface
- Improves gasket compression
- Medium to high pressure
- Compatible with soft gaskets
Ring Type Joint (RTJ)
- Groove for metal ring gasket
- High-pressure sealing
- Precision-machined
- Common in oil & gas
