What Is A Body Flange On Shell For Pressure Vessel And Heat Exchanager?

Body Flange is a flange common to many industrial projects and industries. SSM is a manufacturer, trader, stockist, supplier and exporter of Body Flanges, a product which forms an integral part of several industrial assignments and frameworks.

We can manufacture body flanges to your exact specifications, in orders both large and small.

Body Flanges are known to catalyse the speed of constructing a structure, thereby being instrumental in reducing the overall installation cost and time.

We deliver body flanges suitable for erecting buildings, complexes that are open and flexible to changes in the near future if required.

Body flanges can be a very expensive component of a pressure vessel particularly if the material of construction is expensive eg. nickel alloys or stainless steel. Hence performing an optimum flange design is critical for a cost effective solution.

In case of pressure vessel and heat exchanger two ends of shell are joined with the channel or any other mating component by means of flanged coupling or any other but if joined by flanged coupling sometimes it is also called as body flange. For design purpose, we need to check whether it is necessary to design a body flange first. Reason is custom flange will be much more costly as such kind of custom flanges are fabricated according to needs of customer in terms of dimensions, materials , quantity etc. So, if required size is not obtained in various standards like ASME B16.5, ASME B16.47 then we can think about designing a custom flange.
