The Flat Face Flange has a gasket surface in the same plane as the bolting circle face. Applications using flat face flanges are frequently those in which the mating flange or flanged fitting is made from a casting.
Flat face flanges are never to be bolted to a Raised Face Flange. ASME B31.1 says that when connecting flat face cast iron flanges to carbon steel flanges, the raised face on the carbon Steel Flange must be removed, and that a full face gasket is required. This is to keep the thin, bittle cast iron flange from being sprung into the gap caused by the raised face of the carbon steel flange.

Hey there! Just saw this awesome post from Fire Service Inc. on Facebook that I wanted to share with you. They announced a new order for the Bolingbrook Fire Department in Illinois, and it’s got some seriously impressive gear.
The truck they’re getting is an E-ONE Typhoon HP100’ Platform, which sounds like it’s built for action. Alongside that, they’ve also ordered an E-ONE Cyclone Rescue Pumper. Both vehicles look like they’ll be game-changers for the department!
I found this image online (credit to #chicagoareafire.com), and it gives a great visual of what these trucks might look like in action. The design is sleek, and it looks like they’ve really prioritized both functionality and durability.
If you're into fire trucks or emergency vehicles, definitely check out the details. It’s always exciting to see departments upgrading their fleets with cutting-edge technology. Big thanks to Danny for sharing this!
Oh, and if you want to take a closer look at the images, just click on the picture below. It'll direct you to where you can download it. Super cool stuff!
