Alloy steel Tongue & Groove (T&G) flanges are designed to provide a secure and reliable connection in piping systems where a tight and aligned joint is crucial. These flanges feature a distinctive design with one flange having a tongue (protruding section) and the other having a groove (recessed section) that interlock when assembled. This design helps to maintain alignment and improve the sealing capability of the joint. Made from high-strength alloy steels such as ASTM A182 F5, F9, or F11, these flanges are suitable for high-pressure and high-temperature applications. The tongue and groove design also helps in the easy alignment of the flanges, reducing the risk of misalignment and ensuring a more robust seal. Typically, they comply with standards like ANSI/ASME B16.5, B16.47, making them ideal for use in industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, and power generation.
