Flange Configuration
Slip-On Bore
The flange bore is designed to slide over compatible pipe, allowing the flange position to be adjusted before welding.
1/16" Raised Face
The raised sealing area provides a defined gasket seating surface for dependable bolted flange assembly.
Welded Connection
The flange is secured to the pipe using fillet welds according to the applicable piping specification and welding procedure.
Construction Details
Midland slip-on flanges are manufactured from forged steel for dependable mechanical strength and long service life in demanding piping environments.
The slip-on configuration allows the flange to slide over the pipe before welding, making alignment and positioning easier during fabrication and field installation.
The precision-machined 1/16" raised face provides a concentrated gasket seating area to support dependable sealing between compatible mating flanges.
Why Choose a Slip-On Flange?
Easy Alignment
- Slides over the pipe before welding
- Allows position adjustment during fit-up
- Simplifies flange alignment
- Useful for shop and field fabrication
- Convenient for many general piping installations
Welded Security
- Secured directly to the pipe
- Uses fillet-weld construction
- Creates a rigid flange connection
- Suitable for compatible pressure piping
- Provides dependable mechanical support
Forged Steel Construction
Mechanical Strength
Forged steel provides strong mechanical properties for demanding commercial and industrial piping applications.
Durable Service
The heavy-duty flange construction is intended for long service life when used within the specified pressure, temperature, and media limits.
Raised Face Design
Focused Gasket Compression
The 1/16" raised face concentrates gasket contact around the flange sealing area to support reliable bolted-joint performance.
Gasket Selection
Select a compatible gasket based on flange dimensions, pressure class, operating temperature, system media, and project requirements.
Typical Applications
Commercial & Mechanical Systems
- Mechanical piping
- Building utility systems
- Pump connections
- Equipment connections
- General welded piping
Industrial & Process Systems
- Plant piping
- Industrial utility systems
- Process support piping
- Flanged valve installations
- Compatible pressure piping systems
Slip-On vs. Threaded Flange
Slip-On Flange
A slip-on flange slides over the pipe and is welded into position, providing a permanent pipe-to-flange connection with relatively easy alignment during fit-up.
Threaded Flange
A threaded flange screws directly onto compatible threaded pipe and normally does not require welding during installation.
Slip-On vs. Weld Neck Flange
Slip-On Flange
A slip-on flange fits over the pipe and is typically secured with fillet welds, making alignment straightforward during installation.
Weld Neck Flange
A weld neck flange uses a tapered hub and butt-weld connection and may be selected where higher-stress or more demanding piping conditions require that configuration.
Our valve, fitting, and industrial product specialists can help review your valve size, FIP connection requirements, pressure rating, handle configuration, media compatibility, and application before you order.

What type of flange is this?
This is a forged steel slip-on flange with a raised face sealing surface.
What material is the flange made from?
The supplied product information identifies forged steel construction.
What does slip-on mean?
Slip-on means the flange bore fits over the outside of the pipe before the flange is positioned and welded into place.
What does RF mean?
RF means raised face, referring to the elevated gasket sealing area on the face of the flange.
How high is the raised face?
The supplied product information identifies a 1/16" raised face.
How is this flange attached to pipe?
The supplied product information identifies fillet welding as the installation method.
What is the benefit of a slip-on flange?
The flange can be positioned and aligned on the pipe before welding, which simplifies fit-up in many piping installations.
Is a gasket required?
Yes. A compatible gasket is required between the raised face and the mating flange.
What applications are these flanges suitable for?
The supplied product information identifies industrial, commercial, process, and compatible pressure piping applications.
What should I verify before ordering?
Confirm nominal pipe size, flange pressure class, mating flange dimensions, gasket requirements, material compatibility, and applicable piping standard before ordering.
