What are ISO Flanges?
ISO flanges are standardized flanges that conform to International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards.ISO flanges are used in a variety of industries, including oil and gas, chemical processing and water treatment. They are designed to connect pipes, valves and other process equipment in piping systems.
Advantages and disadvantage of ISO Flanges
ISO flanges are designed to meet the requirements of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and are used in a variety of industries, including oil and gas, chemical, and power generation. Some advantages of ISO flanges include:
- Standardization: ISO flanges are standardized, which means that they are designed to fit a wide range of pipes and equipment. This makes it easier to source and replace components, as well as to design and install piping systems.
- Compatibility: ISO flanges are compatible with a range of materials, including carbon steel, stainless steel, and cast iron, which makes them suitable for use in a variety of applications.
- Strength: ISO flanges are designed to be strong and durable, and can withstand high pressures and temperatures.
- Ease of maintenance: ISO flanges are easy to maintain and repair, as they can be disassembled and reassembled without the need for special tools or equipment.
One disadvantage of ISO flanges is that they may not be suitable for use in high-vibration environments, as the bolts that hold them together can loosen over time. Additionally, they may not be as strong as other types of flanges, such as weld neck flanges, which are designed for use in high-pressure systems. ISO flanges are a popular choice for use in piping systems due to their standardization, compatibility, strength, and ease of maintenance. However, they may not be suitable for all applications, and it is important to carefully consider the specific requirements of a piping system before selecting a flange.
What are the different types of ISO flanges?
There are several types of ISO flanges, including:
- ISO 9624 Flange: This flange is used for piping systems that require easy disassembly and reassembly. It is a flat flange with a round sealing surface and bolts to hold it in place. It is typically used in the petrochemical and food processing industries.
- ISO 7005-1 flange: This is a round flange with a flat surface and is used in piping systems that require high sealing accuracy. It is typically used in the oil and gas industry.
- MSZ flange: MSZ flanges are a type of flange that is commonly used in the construction of piping systems in Central and Eastern Europe. The MSZ flange is designed to meet the standards of the Hungarian Standard MSZ 4839-1 and MSZ 4839-2. These standards define the dimensions and materials for MSZ flanges, as well as the tolerances and testing requirements for these flanges.
Material of ISO Flanges
ISO Flanges are typically made from cast or forged carbon steel, stainless steel. In addition to carbon steel and stainless steel, ISO flanges can also be made from other materials such as alloy steel, titanium alloy, aluminum, and brass. The choice of material will depend on the specific requirements of the application, including the temperature, pressure, and corrosive conditions in which the flange will be used.

Size of ISO Flanges
ISO flanges are available in a variety of sizes ranging from ISO PN 2.5 to ISO PN 160. The size of the flange is determined by the pressure rating and the flange diameter. Pressure ratings are expressed in bars and diameters in millimeters. For example, the ISO PN 25 flange has a pressure rating of 25 bar and a diameter of 90 mm. In addition to size, ISO flanges also have bolt patterns and bolt hole sizes. The bolt pattern is the arrangement of the holes in the flange and the bolt hole size is the diameter of the hole. These dimensions are very important for the proper installation and operation of the flange. It is important to select the correct ISO flange size and type for your piping system to ensure it can handle the pressure and flow required for the application.
Dimensions of ISO Flanges
The dimensions of ISO flanges are specified in millimeters (mm) and are based on the nominal size of the pipe, which is the outer diameter of the pipe. The dimensions of an ISO flange include the flange’s outer diameter, the flange’s inner diameter, the flange’s height, the flange’s bolt circle diameter, and the number and size of the bolt holes. For example, an ISO plate flange with a nominal pipe size of 50mm and a pressure rating of PN16 would have the following dimensions:
- Outer diameter: 76mm
- Inner diameter: 50mm
- Height: 14.3mm
- Bolt circle diameter: 58mm
- Number of bolt holes: 4
- Bolt hole size: 16mm
It is important to note that these dimensions are just a general guide, and the actual dimensions of an ISO flange may vary depending on the manufacturer and the specific application. It is always best to consult the manufacturer’s specifications or drawings to determine the exact dimensions of an ISO flange.

Manufacturing process of ISO Flanges
ISO flanges can be produced by forging, casting, cutting or rolling. We mainly produce flanges by forging, cutting and rolling processes.
Manufacturing process of ISO forged flange
The forging process usually includes the following processes, i.e. selection of high quality billets, heating, forming and cooling.
- Raw material inspection – The key raw material used to produce flanges is billet or hot rolled bar stock. All raw materials purchased are supplied with test reports in accordance with British Standards with full traceability. This is the first mandatory step in the flange production process to ensure good quality. The raw materials are retested in-house to ensure chemical composition, mechanical properties and metallographic analysis.
- Cutting of raw materials – Correct and strict control of cutting sizes and proportions ensures full cost control.
- Heating – This is a very important step for the quality of the flanges. It is necessary to keep detailed records of heating temperatures to avoid overheating. Overheating can damage the structure of the metal and the mechanical properties of the raw material.
- Forging – The forging process is divided into free forging and die forging. The forging time and strength of flanges vary for different pressure classes.
- Heat treatment-The purpose of heat treatment is to eliminate the stress inside the flange and make the density more uniform. Careful recording of heat treatment temperature and cooling time is the key.
- Inspection of forging blanks – After the heat treatment process, select batch samples are tested again for chemical composition and mechanical properties to ensure that all items pass.
- Machining of forging blanks – During machining, inspection is performed along with machining to ensure that each part of the flange is qualified. Machining is performed on CNC and/or lathes.
- Finished Product Inspection – The finished product will be inspected 100% prior to delivery to ensure that the goods meet ISO, ASME, EN or customer standards.

Production process of ISO casting flange
The production process of a ISO casting flange typically involves several steps, including the creation of a mold or pattern, the casting of the flange using molten metal, and various finishing and quality control steps. To begin the process, a mold or pattern is created using a material such as wood or metal. This mold or pattern will be used to create the shape of the flange, and will typically be made to precise specifications to ensure that the final product meets the desired dimensions and specifications. Once the mold or pattern is ready, the casting process can begin. This typically involves melting the metal that will be used to create the flange, such as iron or steel, and pouring the molten metal into the mold or pattern. The metal is then allowed to cool and solidify, taking on the shape of the mold or pattern. After the casting process is complete, the flange will typically undergo various finishing and quality control steps. This may include machining or grinding to achieve the desired dimensions and surface finish, as well as testing to ensure that the flange meets the required specifications and standards. Overall, the production process for a ISO casting flange is a highly precise and technical process that requires a thorough understanding of metallurgy, casting techniques, and quality control processes.
Manufacturing process of ISO plate cutting flange
The process here is relatively simple, and the key raw material is hot rolled plate. The process is mainly used to produce lower thickness sliding plate flanges and blind flanges. All plates purchased are accompanied by a test certificate to ISO Standards. The circles are cut from the plates. No heat treatment is involved in the flange manufacturing process. Drilling and machining is carried out on the circles to obtain the required dimensions. The goods are visually inspected and marked in accordance with the relevant standards.
Marking of ISO Flanges
ISO flanges are marked with a series of numbers and letters indicating their size, pressure class and material.The markings on ISO flanges usually consist of the following elements.
- Flange size: The flange size is indicated by a series of numbers designating the nominal size of the flange. The nominal size is the inside diameter of the flange and is used to determine the size of the pipe in which the flange will be installed.
- Pressure Rating: The pressure rating of a flange is indicated by a series of letters, such as “PN”, “ANSI” or “DIN”. This rating specifies the maximum pressure that the flange can withstand.
- Material: The material of the flange is indicated by a series of letters or numbers, such as “A105”, “F11” or “316”. These codes refer to the specific type of material used for the flange, such as carbon steel, stainless steel or aluminum.
- In addition to these elements, the markings on ISO flanges may include other information, such as the manufacturer’s name and the specific type of flange (e.g., “flat flange”, etc.).
Always read and understand the markings on ISO flanges to ensure that they are suitable for the intended application and meet the necessary requirements for pressure, size and material.
Packing of ISO Flanges
When transporting or storing ISO flanges, it is important to pack the ISO flanges properly to prevent damage during transportation. The following are some tips for packing ISO flanges.
- Use proper packaging materials: Depending on the size and weight of the ISO flanges, use bubble wrap, foam board or other cushioning materials to protect them from bumps and scratches.
- Use sturdy boxes: Choose boxes strong enough to bear the weight of ISO flanges and prevent them from collapsing during transportation.
- Secure the ISO flanges: Use tape or strapping to secure the ISO flanges to the bottom of the box to prevent them from moving during transportation.
- Label the boxes: Label the boxes clearly with the contents and destination to ensure proper handling and delivery.
- Use adequate padding: Add additional padding around the edges of the ISO flange to protect it from rough handling.
- Use the proper shipping method: Choose the proper shipping method based on the size and weight of the ISO flanges and the distance they will travel.
By following these tips, you can ensure that ISO flanges are properly packaged and protected during transportation.
