ASTM A325 Slip-On Flanges refers to the assembly of Slip-On Flanges (SOFโtypically ASTM A105 carbon steel) utilizing ASTM A325 high-strength structural bolting. Slip-On Flanges are easily recognized by their bore size, which is slightly larger than the pipe's outer diameter, allowing the flange to simply slip over the pipe. The connection is secured by welding the flange inside and out. When secured with A325 bolts, the assembly benefits from the high tensile strength and superior clamping force of the quenched and tempered carbon steel fasteners. This combination is common in general industrial piping for moderate pressure and temperature applications where robust, high-strength connections are required. Zeron Fastners supplies the necessary SOF components and A325 bolting for these critical pipeline assemblies.
