Leading Manufacturer & Exporter of
Slip On Flanges to Saudi Arabia
Werner Flanges is a globally recognised manufacturer and exporter of slip on flanges, supplying Saudi Arabia's oil & gas, petrochemical, water infrastructure, and power generation sectors with precision-forged, ASME B16.5-compliant components for over two decades. Our slip on flanges are engineered to meet the rigorous demands of ARAMCO engineering standards, SABIC project specifications, and international procurement codes used throughout the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Slip on flanges are among the most widely used flange types in Saudi Arabia’s industrial and utility piping systems. Their ease of installation, versatility across multiple materials and pressure classes, and cost-effectiveness make them the preferred choice for low-to-medium pressure process lines, utility systems, water distribution networks, and secondary process piping within Saudi petrochemical complexes, refineries, and desalination plants. Werner Flanges maintains a deep inventory of slip on flanges in Carbon Steel (ASTM A105), Stainless Steel (304, 304L, 316, 316L, 321), Alloy Steel, Duplex (F51), and Super Duplex (F53/F55) to enable fast, reliable supply.
All Werner Flanges slip on flanges are manufactured to ASME B16.5 (NPS ½” to 24″) and ASME B16.47 (NPS 26″ to 60″), available in pressure classes from 150# to 2500#, with facing types including Raised Face (RF), Flat Face (FF), and Ring Type Joint (RTJ). Full documentation — including EN 10204 3.1 Material Test Certificates, dimensional inspection reports, and NACE MR0175 compliance — is provided with every shipment to Saudi Arabia.
A slip on flange (also written as slip-on flange, abbreviated SOF or SORF) is a type of pipe flange that, as its name suggests, slips over the outside diameter of a pipe before being secured with two fillet welds — one on the inside bore and one on the outside face. This double-weld configuration provides both structural integrity and leak resistance under operating conditions.

Industries and Applications We Supply
| Industry | Applications |
|---|---|
Oil & Gas Industry |
Upstream — In Saudi Aramco’s upstream operations across Ghawar, Safaniya, Khurais, Berri, and Abqaiq, slip on flanges are used extensively in low-to-medium pressure utility systems, produced water handling lines, chemical injection systems, gas gathering headers (where process class is Class 150# to 300#), and instrument air/fuel gas distribution networks. They are specified in ARAMCO’s Piping Material Classes (PMCs) for utility service categories where Class 900# and above weld neck flanges are not required. Midstream — In gas processing plants, NGL fractionation facilities, and the vast pipeline network operated by Saudi Aramco Gas Processing, slip on flanges are used for instrument connections, utility tie-ins, and secondary process connections. Carbon Steel A105 raised-face slip on flanges are standard in these applications. Downstream — In Saudi Aramco’s downstream refineries (Ras Tanura, Rabigh — PETRO Rabigh, Yanbu), as well as SATORP (Jubail) and SAMREF (Yanbu), slip on flanges are found throughout atmospheric and vacuum distillation units, hydrotreating units, and utility systems. Stainless steel 316L SOFlanges are used in wet crude and sour water stripper environments where corrosion resistance is required. |

Saudi Arabia is the world’s largest producer of desalinated water, with Saline Water Conversion Corporation (SWCC) and ACWA Power operating massive MSF and RO desalination plants along both the Arabian Gulf and Red Sea coasts. Slip on flanges in Duplex F51 and Super Duplex F53/F55 are specified for seawater intake systems, heat exchanger connections, and brine discharge lines where extreme chloride concentrations and elevated temperatures would cause rapid pitting corrosion in standard stainless grades. F316L SOFlanges are used in lower-chloride, lower-temperature sections of these plants. |
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- Q1. What is the difference between a slip on flange and a weld neck flange?
- A slip on flange slides over the pipe OD and is secured with two fillet welds; it is easier and faster to install. A weld neck flange uses a single full-penetration butt weld and provides superior strength and fatigue resistance at very high pressures. Slip on flanges are preferred for Class 150# to 600# utility and secondary process service; weld neck flanges are specified for Class 900# and above, or for cyclic, high-fatigue, or sour service applications per ARAMCO engineering standards.
- Q2. Are Werner Flanges slip on flanges accepted on Saudi ARAMCO projects?
- Yes. Werner Flanges manufactures slip on flanges to ASME B16.5 with full SAES-A-301-compliant material certification and SAES-L-009-compliant flange selection documentation. Our MTCs, PMI reports, and inspection documentation are accepted by ARAMCO-approved EPC contractors including Saipem, Petrofac, Tecnicas Reunidas, and Samsung E&A. For projects requiring ARAMCO Approved Vendor List (AVL) products, we provide full vendor documentation packages for review by the project quality team.
- Q3. What material should I specify for slip on flanges in a desalination plant in Saudi Arabia?
- For seawater service, Duplex F51 (UNS S32205) or Super Duplex F53/F55 (UNS S32750/S32760) are the standard specifications, depending on chloride concentration, temperature, and flow velocity. For low-chloride treated water or condensate service, 316L is typically adequate. For brine at temperatures above 80°C, super duplex is generally required. Werner Flanges’ technical team can review your service conditions and recommend the optimum material grade.
- Q4. Can you supply slip on flanges to ASME B16.47 for large-bore pipelines?
- Yes. Werner Flanges manufactures large-bore slip on flanges to ASME B16.47 Series A (MSS SP-44) and Series B (API 605) from NPS 26″ to NPS 60″. These are available in Class 150# to 900# in Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, and Alloy Steel. Lead time for large-bore flanges is typically 6–10 weeks from order confirmation. Please contact our technical team for specific size and class availability.
- Q5. Do you provide NACE MR0175-compliant slip on flanges for sour gas service?
- Yes. Werner Flanges supplies NACE MR0175/ISO 15156-compliant Carbon Steel A105 slip on flanges with hardness ≤ 22 HRC (187 HBW), confirmed by individual piece hardness testing. For sour service, HIC (Hydrogen Induced Cracking) testing per NACE TM0284 and SSC (Sulfide Stress Cracking) testing per NACE TM0177 are available on request. All sour service flanges are supplied with full NACE compliance documentation.
- Q6. What is the typical lead time for slip on flanges delivered to Jubail?
- For standard sizes and grades from stock (C/S A105, SS 316L, Class 150# to 300#), shipment is within 3–5 business days. For manufactured-to-order items, production lead time is 3–5 weeks depending on material and pressure class. Sea freight transit from our facility to King Fahd Industrial Port, Jubail is 18–21 days. Total delivery time for manufactured items to Jubail is typically 5–7 weeks. Air freight options can reduce total delivery to 4–5 weeks for manufactured items.
- Q7. Can you supply custom-size slip on flanges with non-standard bore diameters?
- Yes. Werner Flanges has an in-house custom engineering capability to manufacture slip on flanges with non-standard bore diameters, special facing configurations, custom pressure classes, or reduced-bore orifice-type faces. Custom items have a minimum lead time of 3–5 weeks from drawing approval. Please submit your dimensional drawing and material specification for a quotation from our custom engineering team.
