D J Metal Industries is a manufacturer, supplier, and exporter of Stainless Steel Tongue Flanges. The SS Tongue Flange features a Tongue Flange with a raised ring machined into its face, while the matching depression is machined onto the face of the groove flange. Achieving a watertight connection requires precise alignment of these faces. SS Tongue Flanges are inherently self-aligning, ensuring no contact with the inner fluid or gas of the tube or pipe and immediate resistance to corrosion. Stainless Steel Tongue Flanges adhere to industry standards and find application in chemical, petroleum, and crude oil extraction industries.
A notable advantage of utilizing ANSI / DIN / BS Stainless Steel Tongue Flanges connections lies in their inherent self-alignment, serving as a flexible buffer. The scarf joint of these Stainless steel grooved flanges is responsible for maintaining the loading point in alignment with the joint, eliminating the need for an extensive machining process. Certain flange faces, including RTJ, Tongue, and Female and Male, are not intended for bolting. This is due to the non-overlapping touch surfaces and the absence of a gasket that features one type on one side and another type on the other. Typically recommended for use in low-pressure, non-critical applications, these flanges are ideal for attaching other components such as the SS Groove flange adapter.

What are Stainless Steel Tongue Flanges?

Stainless Steel Tongue Flanges represent a specialized class of components designed to facilitate secure and self-aligning connections within piping systems. Characterized by a raised ring or tongue machined into the face of the flange, these components offer a distinctive interlocking design. The tongue aligns precisely with a matching depression on the face of the corresponding groove flange, ensuring a tight and accurate connection. A notable feature is their inherent self-aligning capability, functioning as an elastic buffer during assembly. The scarf joint, integral to their design, eliminates the need for intricate machining processes and holds the loading point in line with the joint. Stainless Steel Tongue Flanges conform to ANSI / DIN / BS standards and are available in various flange face configurations, such as Raised Face (RTJ), Tongue and Groove, and Female and Male faces. Widely used in industries like chemical, petroleum, and crude oil extraction, these flanges are recommended for low-pressure applications where easy alignment and the attachment of complementary Groove & Tongue components are essential.
