Detailed Introduction

Lap joint stub ends are also called lap joint stub ends, loose flange rings, and belong to steel butt welding pipe fittings. One end is a standard butt welding bevel, welded and fixed to the pipe; the other end is stamped and precision-turned to form a flat flanged sealing surface, which is pressed together with a loose flange to achieve a detachable sealed connection. This structure allows the flange to rotate, making bolt hole alignment more flexible, and making on-site installation and later maintenance easier. Compared with using stainless steel or alloy flanges for the entire pipeline, lap joint stub ends only use corrosion-resistant material in the part that contacts the medium, while the flange can be made of ordinary carbon steel, significantly reducing material costs. We implement standards such as ASME B16.9, MSS SP43, GB/T12459, and our products are used in pipeline systems for petrochemical, power station thermal, ship and marine, pharmaceutical clean, environmental water treatment, and other industries. For specific diameters, wall thicknesses, materials, and pressure ratings, please contact us to confirm.

PackagingOur factory's lap joint stub ends use protective packaging dedicated to high-end foreign trade pipe fittings, specifically protecting the flanged sealing end face and welding bevel, preventing transportation collisions, wear, and rust, and adapting to long-distance logistics such as ocean shipping, international air freight, and cross-border land transport. Each individual product is wrapped independently in anti-static PE film, and the precision flanged end face is equipped with dedicated protective gaskets and bevel protective sleeves, strictly preventing scratches, collisions, and deformation of the high-precision sealing surface. Products are neatly packed by specification into thickened export cartons, with high-strength moisture-proof desiccant built in, effectively resisting oxidation and rust caused by high humidity and salt spray environments during sea transport. The outer layer of the carton is wrapped with waterproof stretch film for all-round reinforcement. Bulk full-order goods are uniformly stacked on fumigation-free solid wood pallets and secured tightly with high-strength strapping, preventing displacement due to transportation bumps and carton damage.

Overview

The lap joint stub end is a core pipe fitting in a lap joint flange connection system. One end is butt-welded to the pipe, and the other end is flanged to form a sealing surface, which cooperates with the lap joint flange to achieve a detachable connection. The flange can rotate, allowing flexible alignment of bolt holes, making it suitable for pipelines with limited on-site space or requiring frequent maintenance. Our lap joint stub ends are integrally formed by hot stamping of seamless steel pipes, with no splicing welds. The flanged end face is CNC finish-turned with high flatness. The products comply with standards such as ASME B16.9, MSS SP43, GB/T12459, etc., and are used in industrial pipelines for petrochemical, power station thermal, marine offshore, pharmaceutical clean, and environmental water treatment applications.

Key Features

First, integrally stamped and formed, with no splicing welds or sand holes and gas pores, dense metallographic structure, and pressure resistance and impact resistance. Second, the flanged end face is CNC finish-turned and polished, with a flat sealing surface, reducing the risk of medium leakage. Third, used with matching lap joint flanges, the flange can rotate freely, bolt holes can be aligned at any position, and construction is convenient. Fourth, only the fitting body uses corrosion-resistant material, while the flange can use ordinary carbon steel, helping reduce the overall project material cost. Fifth, supports both long pattern (LP) and short pattern (SP) structures, selectable according to working conditions. Sixth, customizable non-standard diameters, extended straight pipe sections, widened sealing surfaces, and special alloy materials.

FAQ

What is the function of a lap joint stub end?

Lap joint stub ends are mainly used with slip-on flanges to achieve detachable pipeline connections. The flange can rotate freely for alignment, making installation convenient. At the same time, low-cost carbon steel flanges can be used with corrosion-resistant pipe fittings, helping to save project costs.

How to choose between long pattern (LP) and short pattern (SP) lap joint stub ends?

For high-temperature and high-pressure, severely corrosive, or important process main pipelines, LP long pattern is recommended; for low-pressure and normal-temperature, water supply and drainage, or ordinary anti-corrosion pipelines, SP short pattern can be selected. For specific selection, please contact us, and we will assist in confirming based on operating condition parameters.

Can lap joint stub ends withstand high pressure?

We use integrated stamping and forming, and the wall thickness is implemented according to standards. The entire series supports American standard high-pressure pound-class operating conditions. The specific pressure rating and wall thickness need to be confirmed according to your project parameters. Please contact us to provide operating condition information.

What materials and diameters are supported for customization of lap joint stub ends?

Conventional materials include carbon steel, 304/316 stainless steel, duplex steel 2205/2507, etc. Customized diameters cover DN15–DN1200, and non-standard wall thickness, extended straight pipe sections, widened sealing surfaces, and special alloys can be made. Please provide drawings or samples, and we will assist in confirming.

What are the minimum order quantity and delivery time?

Regular DN20–DN300 standard in-stock models have an MOQ as low as 1 piece, and trial orders are supported. Regular carbon steel and 304/316 stainless steel standard in-stock specifications are shipped out within 24–48 hours after payment confirmation. For the lead time of non-standard customizations and bulk orders, please contact us to confirm.
