FLANGE FACING
Flange facing is a machining process used to resurface and clean the mating surfaces of flanges in piping systems.
The process involves machining the surface of the flange to ensure that it is flat and smooth, which helps to create a leak-free seal when the flanges are bolted together. Flange facing is used in a variety of industries, including oil and gas, chemical processing, and power generation.
Flange facing is a process used to restore the sealing surface of a flange, ensuring that it is flat and smooth. This is important in industries where the sealing surface of a flange must be perfectly flat to prevent leaks and ensure efficient operation.
Flange facing can be done using various methods, including manual grinding, machine grinding, and milling. The choice of method depends on the size of the flange, the condition of the flange, and the precision required.

The company's team of experienced technicians has the knowledge and expertise to handle the most complex flange facing projects, ensuring that the flange is restored to its original specifications.
Our flange facing service includes:
-
Inspection: Before flange facing, the flange is inspected to determine the condition of the sealing surface. This includes checking for any damage, corrosion, or other issues that may affect the quality of the flange facing.
-
Set up: The technician sets up the flange facing equipment, ensuring that it is positioned correctly and aligned with the flange.
-
Flange facing: The flange is faced using a grinding tool or milling machine, depending on the size and precision required. The flange facing process removes any imperfections, ensuring that the sealing surface is flat and smooth.
-
Finishing: The technician performs a finishing pass to ensure that the flange surface is smooth and free from any imperfections.
-
Inspection: After flange facing, the flange is inspected again to ensure that the sealing surface is flat and smooth. Any defects or imperfections are corrected, ensuring that the flange is ready for use.
