Swivel Ring Flange
The Oil States Swivel Ring Flange (SRF) is the most commonly used flange for shallow water pipeline repairs. The SRF allows the diver to line up bolt holes with the mating weld neck flange. This significantly reduces the time needed to complete the repair operation.
The SRF utilizes a spring steel retainer ring to capture the rotating flange component of the connector, thus eliminating welded retainers and permitting the removal of the retainer ring. This also makes it possible to clean and lubricate the swivel ring interface between the hub and flange after fabrication and coating to ensure easy rotation during installation
Stock inventory sizes are available from 2″ to 24″ for immediate delivery. Additional sizes available upon request.
