IBR Slipon Flange as per Class 150
A Slip on flange is a type of flange connected to, or placed on pipes. These flanges simplify piping fabrication, compared to weld neck flanges. IBR Slipon flanges are a type of flanges that are certified by Indian Boiler Regulation (IBR). In particular, IBR Slipon flanges as per Class 150 are a type of such flanges whose dimensions follow IBR standards for the Class 150 category.
Designing such flanges of a given IBR Class begins with interpreting dimensions from the IBR handbook. Generally, these flanges follow certain parameters like outside diameter, wall thickness which would dictate the type of pipe. Apart from that, these flanges also support added features like integrally cast lugs to make it easier to install them on valves. Sealing can be done using RTJ gaskets.
In the case of such flanges, the IBR class, i.e. Class 150 implies that the flange can handle a maximum pressure of 150 pounds per square inch (PSI). In other words, the maximum pressure, i.e. the bursting pressure should not exceed 150 PSI. Generally, Class 150 is also known as class 150, and also known as PN20.
Flanges in general are measured in terms of their outer diameter and bore, specifying the inner diameter of the flange circle. This is done to ensure uniformity during the installation process, as it should fit within the pipes. The material that is used for constructing these flanges is normally forged from carbon steel or stainless steel, place in an annealed condition and the face is then machined to its desired cast finish. The wall thickness is checked thoroughly to ensure safe usage for the particular pressure rating.
IBR Class 150 Slipon flanges come with a raised face, useful for between flanges connections. For example, a 1-inch IBR Class 150 Slipon flange may have an outer diameter of 2.5 inches, a wall thickness of 90/160 mm and a bore of 1.5 inches. It should also have at least one weld lugs to make it easily mountable on the pipes.
Installation of such flanges is generally done by welding. It is important to select the right type of filler metal and correct welding procedure to ensure it achieves its desired pressure rating. The welding should be done so that the seal is able to withstand the maximum working pressure.
In conclusion, these IBR Slipon flanges as per Class 150 are a standardised type of flanges that follows IBR regulations to ensure safety. The installation of this flange should be done using the correct type of welding to help reach its ideal pressure rating. The material of such flanges should also be able to sustain the pressure without any leaks or bursting.

What is an IBR Slipon Flange?
An IBR Slipon Flange is a type of flange that is used to connect pipes, valves, pumps, and other equipment in a piping system. It is designed to slip over the end of a pipe and then be welded in place.
