Flanges are available in various sizes and standards to suit imperial tube, schedule pipe and spiral welded tube. Typical industry applications include irrigation, pumping, petrochemical, geothermal, marine and food & beverage process lines.
The Metal Company stock flanges to suit Imperial Tube, Schedule Pipe and Spiral Welded Tube. We stock BSP Threaded Flanges, Weld Neck Flanges, Blind Flanges, Backing Flanges, Expansion Flanges, Expansion Bellows, RapidPress Press-Fit Flanges and more.
Our Flat Faced Slip On Flanges are flat and smooth on one side of the flange and in some cases both. The flange slips over either tube or pipe and then is welded into place. We have these available as Table E, Table D, PN10-40, PN10-16, PN16, ANSI 150, and AS4087.
Our Raised Face Flanges feature a raised portion on one side of the flange. It is typically raised approximately 2-3 mm, however this is dependent on the standard. Raised face flanges are good for high pressure environments as the pressure concentrates on the raised face rather than the main face. We stock these Raised Face Flanges in PN10-40, PN10-16, PN16, ANSI 150 and ANSI 300.
This is a blind flange. There is no internal bore in the centre. It is used to blank off a flanged pipe run to stop the flow, or if there are plans for future expansion. We have these available in standards Table E, Table D, PN10-40, PN10-16, PN16, ANSI 150 and AS4087.
BSP threaded flanges are used for BSP threaded applications. The thread size is always the same size as the flange size. We have these available in Table E, PN10-40, PN10-16 and ANSI 150. For any custom sizes, we can custom make these flanges by boring the internal of an already existing Blind Flange and welding a BSP Socket into the centre.
Backing Flanges otherwise known as Floating Flanges or Loose Flanges, are used with Pipe Stub Ends or Tube Neck Rings. These are great in certain applications to make your installation quicker and easier. This is because you can just swivel the flange to the right orientation to match the bolt holes of whatever you are bolting the flange to. We stock these in Table E, Table D, PN10-16, PN16 and ANSI 150.
Expansion Flanges are typically used to secure tube or piping in wall, floor and ceiling penetrations. The design allows for linear expansion and contraction of pipework whilst preventing ingress or liquid to penetrate. They help to keep wall penetrations tidy so that nothing can enter into the cavity of the wall or through the wall. These are available to suit Imperial Tube, Schedule Pipe and RapidPress Tube.
Our Expansion Bellows come with either Stainless Steel or Electro-Galvanised Table E Flanges. It features an EPDM Bellow which can withstand temperatures from -15°C to 115°C and handle up to 16 bar (or 232 psi).
Press-fit flanges are used with our RapidPress system. We have these available to suit our RapidPress Inox with EPDM seals, RapidPress Extreme with FKM seals and RapidPress Gas with NBR seals. We stock a range of these from Table E, PN10-40, PN10-16 and ANSI 150. It is worth noting that only our Table E options feature a pre welded RapidPress Coupler, whereas the other standards (including Table E Gas) feature a BSP Flange to RapidPress Male Coupler connection.
For all of our flanges we stock 3.2 mm Insertion Rubber, and Nitrile gaskets. Flange gaskets create a static seal between two flange faces, designed to keep liquids and gases from seeping out.
We also stock bolt kits to suit all of our flanges

Weld neck rings are used in conjunction with backing flanges and provide a secure connection between piping systems. The neck rings that will be discussed are to suit Dairy Tube from 1” to 8” and also Spiral Welded Tube from 8” to 12”. Watch Morgan discuss
Expansion flanges are used to close the gaps created in a wall or ceiling around a tube or pipe as it goes through. These are commonly used in food and beverage plants, coolstores or any applications where a waterproof, hygienic seal is required. Watch Vernon as he discusses expansion flanges.
Whether it's to connect to pipes, valves, pumps or other equipment to form a piping system. Here, Tristan will show the range of TMC's flanges and their applications.
