Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: What is the difference between slip-on flanges and weld neck flanges?
Slip-on flanges slip over the pipe and require two fillet welds, offering cost-effectiveness and easy installation for low-to-moderate pressure. Weld neck flanges have a tapered hub, butt-welded to the pipe, ideal for high-pressure, high-temperature, or critical applications.

  • Slip-on: Low-to-moderate pressure, frequent assembly/disassembly, simpler installation.
  • Weld neck: High pressure, high temperature, critical offshore or refinery services.
Q2: Are your slip-on flanges suitable for offshore oil and gas platforms in Nigeria?
Yes. Materials include ASTM A182 F316L stainless, duplex F51, super duplex F53/F55, and NACE MR0175 compliant grades. Testing includes third-party inspection, PMI, ultrasonic testing, impact tests, and compliance with operator specifications.
Q3: Typical delivery time to Lagos and Port Harcourt?
  • Lagos: Sea 18-22 days, air 5-7 days + 3-5 days customs
  • Port Harcourt: Sea 20-24 days, air 6-8 days + 3-5 days customs
  • Manufacturing: Stock 2-3 weeks, custom 4-6 weeks, large/rare materials 6-8 weeks
Q4: Do you provide NACE MR0175 compliant flanges for sour service?
Yes. Compliance includes approved materials, hardness limits, heat treatment, impact testing, low sulfur/phosphorus chemistry, and full documentation. Suitable for H₂S-containing service in Niger Delta.
Q5: Can you manufacture slip-on flanges in duplex or super duplex stainless steel?
Yes. Available grades: ASTM A182 F51 (duplex), F53/F55 (super duplex). Applications: offshore seawater systems, subsea production, desalination intake, coastal chemical plants, sour gas service.
Q6: What documentation do you provide for Nigerian customs clearance?
