Misalignment Ball Flange (MBF) |
|
This Misalignment Ball flange is particularly useful in scenarios were connecting pipelines experience movement due to environmental factors or operational conditions.
In summary, misaligned ball flanges and connectors play a crucial role in maintaining integrity and functionality in various applications, especially when dealing with movement, angular deviations, or misaligned components.

Main features:
- Compliant with API 6H
- Product designed in accordance with ASME Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII, Division 1 and 2
- NACE MR-017
- ASME/ANSI B16.5, B16.10 & B16.34
Key benefits:
- Minimum Pipe Material Specification: API 5L X52
- Operating Temperature: -4°C to +121°C
- Environmental Seals: Standard
- Flange Rating: ANSI/ASME 600lb, 900lb, 1500lb & 2500lb pressure rating.
Engineered Connector
RF Technologies Group Inc., MBF is cost effective permanent subsea pipeline repair and tie-in around the world.

Application
The MBF flange, is designed to handle misalignment in subsea applications. Here are its key features:
- Up to +/- 20˚ hub misalignment: It can accommodate angular misalignment.
- Acts as a ball joint: The flange is locked during assembly.
- Eliminates tie-in bending moment: Only axial load is required.
- Mechanical ends stop in hub profile: Prevents excessive movement.
- Leak-tight at all misalignment angles: Ensures sealing integrity.
- Custom sizes available: The current range covers 6″ to 36″, but other sizes can be requested.
