STANDARDS

DIN 2543Download

 DIN 2543 specifies slip-on flanges (also called plate slip-on or SO flanges) with a PN 16 pressure rating. The pipe slips into the flange bore and is fillet-welded on both the inside and outside. This type offers easier alignment and lower machining costs compared to welding neck flanges, making it suitable for lower-pressure applications where assembly convenience is valued. Covers sizes DN 10 to DN 600.

⚠ Temperature Derating

PN 16 rating is valid up to 120°C. Between 120°C and 300°C, allowable pressure decreases as material yield strength reduces. Consult HT PIPE engineering for elevated-temperature applications above 120°C.

Applications

Water pipelines and municipal distribution systems
General industrial piping (non-critical service)
Low-pressure steam and condensate lines
HVAC and heating systems
Process plant utility piping
⚠ Design Note

Slip-on flanges rely on the fillet weld for strength. They are not recommended for cyclic loading or high-vibration service. For critical applications, use welding neck flanges (DIN 2545 / EN 1092-1 Type 11) instead.
