Slip flat Face (SOFF) flanges are commonly used in piping systems to join pipes and fittings securely. These flanges are simple to install and work well in low-pressure applications. Tesco Steel & Engineering is a trusted SOFF Flanges Manufacturer, offering a wide range of sizes from 1/8" NB to 48" NB. They have a flat face surface, making them suitable for systems where a smooth seal is needed. We offer long-lasting flange solutions for a range of sectors, and are known for accuracy and quality. In SOFF flanges, "rationing" typically refers to the pressure ratings or classes that are available such as Class 150, 300, and more, depending on the requirements of the application.
The face design of SOFF and SORF flanges is where they differ most. Although they are both slip-on flanges, SORF (Slip On Raised Face) flanges have a slightly raised sealing surface, whereas SOFF flanges have a flat face. The flat face of SOFF flanges makes them ideal for connections where the counter flange is also flat, reducing the risk of warping, or leaks in low-pressure lines. SORF flanges, on the other hand, help create a tighter seal in slightly higher-pressure setups due to their raised face.
SOFF flanges are valued for being easy to install, especially in places where space or time is limited. They can handle low to medium pressure without trouble, and offer good resistance to rust, especially when made with quality materials. These flanges are easy to maintain, making them a cost-effective choice for long-term use. Common applications include industrial pipelines, HVAC systems, water supply setups, and other general plumbing work. These flanges, which come in a variety of specifications, meet industry standards for performance, safety and dependability.
