Series 250 Flange Configuration
Flat Flange Face
The standard flat-type configuration provides a straightforward flange profile for integration into compatible fabricated assemblies.
Integral Pilot
The pilot helps position and align the flange during fabrication and installation.
Forged Construction
The forged body is designed to provide strength and dimensional consistency for industrial tank and piping applications.
Construction Details
Series 250 tank flanges are manufactured using forging technology and are supplied to the material requirements identified in ASTM A105 / ASME SA105 and ASTM A181-70 / ASME SA181-70.
The flat-type flange body incorporates a pilot to assist with alignment during fabrication. This configuration is intended for compatible tank, vessel, and piping assemblies where a secure connection point is required.
Why Choose a Flat Tank Flange with Pilot?
Alignment During Fabrication
- Integral pilot assists with positioning
- Helps maintain alignment during installation
- Useful in tank and vessel fabrication
- Supports repeatable assembly
- Provides a defined piping connection point
Forged Steel Construction
- Manufactured using forging technology
- ASTM A105 / ASME SA105 material standard
- ASTM A181-70 / ASME SA181-70 material standard
- Designed for industrial fabrication applications
- Product documentation available for reference
Tank Flange with Pilot vs. Non-Piloted Flange
Flange with Pilot
A piloted tank flange incorporates a locating feature that can assist with positioning and alignment during fabrication.
Non-Piloted Flange
A non-piloted flange does not include the same locating feature, so alignment depends entirely on the fabrication and fit-up method used.
Typical Applications
Tank & Vessel Fabrication
- Industrial tanks
- Fabricated vessels
- Process equipment
- Storage systems
- Custom fabricated assemblies
Industrial Piping Connections
- Oil and gas systems
- Water treatment equipment
- Chemical processing systems
- Mechanical piping assemblies
- Compatible welded piping systems
