Swivel flange

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-003733

A type of pipe flange consisting of a rotating outer ring and a fixed inner hub, allowing the bolt holes to be aligned easily without rotating the entire pipe section. This design simplifies the assembly of large diameter or heavy piping systems, especially in offshore or complex installations. It is commonly used in subsea pipelines and manifold connections where precise alignment is challenging.
