Square x Square Slip-On Design
The square x square configuration provides a straight, non-beveled inside diameter profile on both sides of the flange. The slip-on design allows compatible pipe to pass through the flange before welding, helping simplify positioning and alignment during fabrication.
Confirm nominal pipe size, outside diameter, flange opening, and installation requirements before ordering.
Serrated Sealing Surface
The flange face is serrated to help improve gasket grip and sealing performance in compatible bolted flange assemblies.
Proper gasket selection, flange alignment, bolting, and installation practices should be verified for the intended low-pressure application.
304/L vs. 316/L Stainless Steel
304/L Stainless Steel
- General-purpose corrosion resistance
- Suitable for many commercial and industrial applications
- Commonly used in water and process systems
- Low-carbon grade supports improved corrosion performance
316/L Stainless Steel
- Enhanced corrosion resistance in demanding environments
- Commonly selected for marine and chemical service
- Suitable for many chloride-exposed applications
- Low-carbon grade supports improved corrosion performance
Economical Low-Pressure Flange Option
Plate flanges provide a lighter and more economical alternative to heavier ANSI flange designs where the piping system operates within appropriate low-pressure conditions.
This makes the square x square slip-on plate flange a practical option for less critical service where full forged ANSI flange construction is not required.
Common Applications

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an IPS slip-on square x square plate flange?
It is a plate-style flange with a straight, square inside diameter profile on both sides, designed to slip over compatible IPS pipe for suitable low-pressure applications.
What pressure class is this flange?
This is a 150# plate flange intended for compatible low-pressure service.
What sizes are available?
The listed size range is 1" through 12".
What material are these flanges made from?
They are manufactured from stainless steel plate conforming to ASTM A240/SA240.
What stainless steel grades are available?
These flanges are available in 304/L and 316/L stainless steel.
What does square x square mean?
Square x square refers to the inside diameter configuration. Unlike a bevel x square flange, the opening remains square on both sides.
Why is the flange face serrated?
The serrated surface is intended to help improve gasket grip and sealing performance in compatible flange assemblies.
How do plate flanges compare with heavier ANSI flanges?
Plate flanges provide a more economical alternative for suitable low-pressure, less critical applications where a heavier forged ANSI flange is not required.
Where can I find flange dimensions?
Use the Stainless Steel Plate Flange Dimensions PDF in the Product Documents section above.
Is there a product brochure available?
Yes. The Stainless Steel Plate Flange Brochure PDF is available in the Product Documents section above.
