EN 1092-1 Integral Loose Plate Flange - Type 21

European standard integral loose plate flange with machined collar. EN 1092-1 Type 21. DN10-DN300, PN6-PN40. For lap joint assembly with Type 32 collar.

Integral Loose Plate Flange Type 21

The EN 1092-1 Type 21 Integral Loose Plate Flange (also referred to as Integral Loose Plate Flange with collar) is a non-welding flange plate designed for use in a Lap Joint Assembly. The key distinguishing feature is its integral collar — a collar that is machined as one piece with the plate body — which serves as the centering and supporting surface against the pipe.

Unlike a standard slip-on flange (Type 12), the Type 21 plate is not welded to the pipe. Instead, the collar (Type 32) is butt-welded to the pipe end, and the Type 21 plate slides over the collar and is held captive against it. This design allows the flange plate to rotate freely, making alignment and maintenance significantly easier.

JIAJI FORGING manufactures Type 21 Integral Loose Plate flanges in austenitic stainless steel, duplex & super duplex (EN 1.4462, 1.4410), and nickel alloys.

Lap Joint Assembly — How It Works

Step 1: The Type 32 Loose Collar is butt-welded to the pipe end.

Step 2: The Type 21 Integral Loose Plate slides over the collar.

Step 3: Bolts pass through the flange bolt holes; the collar OD centers the plate.

Result: The plate can rotate 360° without disturbing the pipe weld — ideal for confined spaces or frequent maintenance.

Applications

  • Petrochemical and refining process lines
  • Oil and gas gathering lines
  • Seawater cooling systems (easy bolt removal)
  • Chemical processing with frequent maintenance
  • Food and beverage hygienic piping
  • Confined-space installations where alignment is difficult

Lap Joint Assembly — Type 21 + Type 32

Type 21 — Integral Loose Plate

Plate with machined integral collar. Slides over pipe. No welding required on the plate itself.

Key benefit: 360° rotation for easy alignment

Type 32 — Loose Collar (Plate Collar)

A separate collar ring butt-welded to the pipe end. The collar OD matches the Type 21 bore for precise centering.

Key benefit: Only the collar is welded — no heat-affected zone on the flange plate

Assembly Sequence

1. Weld Type 32 collar to pipe end

2. Slide Type 21 plate over collar

3. Insert bolts; tighten against companion flange
