Steel Backing Flange for HDPE Stub End, PN10/PN16, Q235, DN50-1200
Product Overview
Our Steel Backing Flange, also known as a backing ring or loose flange, is an essential component for creating strong and reliable flanged joints in HDPE piping systems. Manufactured from robust Q235 carbon steel, its primary function is to provide the mechanical reinforcement required for bolted connections.
The backing flange slides freely over the PE pipe before a PE stub end is butt-fused onto the pipe end. Once installed, the steel ring sits directly behind the stub end collar, evenly distributing bolt loads and enabling secure connections to metal valves, pumps, and other flanged equipment without damaging the thermoplastic pipe.
Drilling patterns compatible with PN10 and PN16 standards are available, covering sizes from DN50 to DN1200 for large-scale infrastructure and industrial projects.
Key Features
- Enables Bolted Connections: Allows fusion-welded HDPE pipelines to interface seamlessly with standard flanged components.
- Multiple Corrosion Protection Options: Available in hot-dip galvanized, epoxy coated, zinc plated, or raw finish to suit different environments.
- Precision Drilled for Compatibility: Accurate PCD and bolt hole dimensions ensure perfect alignment with EN 1092-1 PN10/PN16 flanges.
- Robust Q235 Steel Construction: Provides high rigidity and tensile strength to maintain a long-term, leak-free seal.
- Extensive Size & Pressure Range: PN16 pattern for DN50–DN315 and PN10 pattern for DN315–DN1200.
Available Types & Finishes
- Backing Flanges: Standard loose rings for use with PE stub ends
- Blind Flanges: Solid steel plates with matching drilling patterns for pipeline end closure
