What is Flange Facing?
Flange facing is the act of machining the sealing surface of a flange. The sealing surfaces of flanges can become corroded or damaged due to various factors. This corrosion or damage can affect the integrity of the bolted connection on the flange, risking a critical leak. Flanges can be machined with different surface finishes to match the required specifications for the piping system to which the flange is connected. It’s critical that flanges have a clean, uniform sealing surface with a gramophone finish to ensure that the joint does not leak.
Machining flanges in place with a portable flange-facing machine is the most cost-effective and efficient way to resurface damaged or corroded flanges. Our patented ID clamping system on the Flangehog allows for the fastest, most rigid setup in its class and gives the largest working range of any hand-powered tool in its class.
