Square Flanges Forged and Machined to Your Drawing

A square flange is a non-round forged connection plate: the bolt holes sit on a rectangular pattern instead of a bolt circle, which suits equipment ports, hydraulic blocks and machinery mounting faces where a round flange will not fit the housing.

Square Flanges Explained

There is no dimensional table behind this product. Outline length and width, thickness, bore or port profile, bolt-hole coordinates and flatness all come from your drawing. Material is carbon steel, stainless steel or whatever grade the drawing names, against the ASTM or EN standard you cite. Parts run from small machinery plates up to heavy custom plates.

Hole pitch, centre distance, edge distance, port size, counterbore, surface finish and flatness are the dimensions that decide whether the part is machinable and what it costs. Inspection is a dimensional report with a hole-position check plus material traceability and flatness, with MT or PT added when the drawing calls out surface integrity.

How to Send This RFQ

Send these details

  • Standard or drawing
  • Size / DN / NPS
  • Pressure class / PN
  • Material grade
  • Facing
  • Bore
  • Quantity
  • Heat treatment
  • Inspection requirement

Avoid these omissions

  • Sending a product name without standard, drawing or pressure rating
  • Leaving bore, facing or bolt pattern unclear
  • Mixing DN, NPS, PN and class references without a drawing
  • Omitting inspection documents until after price discussion
  • Forgetting destination country, packing or third-party inspection requirements

Manufacturing and Inspection Route

We confirm each step against your drawing or standard before we quote.

  1. Material review

    Material grade, heat number, certificate basis and substitution limits are checked against the Square Flanges drawing or standard before procurement is released.

  2. Forging process confirmation

    The forging route is selected around flange type, section thickness, bore allowance, hub or neck geometry and pressure-service requirements.

  3. Heat treatment

    Heat treatment is planned with the required record package, mechanical testing basis and impact-test condition where low-temperature or alloy service applies.

  4. Rough machining

    Rough machining opens reference faces, bore, hub, neck or sealing-face stock needed to control allowance before final flange machining.

  5. Final machining

    Final machining controls facing, bore, bolt pattern, groove, sealing surface and flange-table or drawing tolerances before dimensional inspection is issued.

  6. Inspection and document review

    Inspection covers dimensional report, MTC 3.1, PMI and required UT, MT or PT records before the release documents are matched to the purchase order.

  7. Marking, packing and export document preparation

    Marking, packing and export documents are prepared by PO line item so the Square Flanges shipment can clear customs and be identified at site receiving.

Inspection and Documents

List document requirements in the first RFQ; they affect price and schedule.

  • MTC EN 10204 3.1
  • Heat treatment record
  • Dimensional report
  • PMI when alloy verification is required
  • UT, MT or PT when specified
  • Tensile, impact or hardness test records when required
  • Third-party inspection support by project request

FAQ

Is there a dimensional standard for square flanges?

No. There is no dimensional table behind this product: outline length and width, thickness, bore or port profile, bolt-hole coordinates and flatness all come from your drawing.

How should bolt holes be dimensioned on a square flange drawing?

As coordinates on a rectangular pattern, not a bolt circle. Hole pitch, centre distance, edge distance, port size and counterbore decide whether the part is machinable and what it costs, and hole positions are checked on the dimensional report.

Do you make small machinery plates as well as heavy square flanges?

Yes. Parts run from small machinery plates up to heavy custom plates.

When is MT or PT added to a square flange inspection?

When the drawing calls out surface integrity. Otherwise inspection is a dimensional report with a hole-position check, material traceability and flatness.
