Stainless Steel Groove & Tongue Flanges, Alloy Steel Groove & Tongue Flanges Manufacturer & Exporter | ASME B16.5, ASME B16.47, MSS SP44, ASTM A182, 240, 105, 350, SB564, 160, 472 Groove & Tongue Flanges Suppliers
Amardeep Steel is one of India's leading Manufacturers, Suppliers and Exporters of high-quality Tongue & Groove Flanges based in Mumbai. In a tongue and groove flange assembly, one flange face carries a raised ring (the Tongue) machined onto its face, while the mating flange has a matching depression (the Groove) machined into its face. This interlocking design ensures superior alignment and a tight, leak-proof seal making tongue and groove flanges the preferred choice for pump covers, valve bonnets and high-pressure piping systems. Our Tongue Flanges are available in a wide range of sizes, grades and specifications to meet every industrial requirement.

What Are ASME B16.5 Tongue & Groove Flanges?
ASME B16.5 Tongue & Groove Flanges are a type of pipe flange face configuration governed by the ASME/ANSI B16.5 standard. The standard specifies pressure-temperature ratings, materials, tolerances, marking, and testing for pipe flanges. Unlike raised-face or flat-face flanges, the tongue and groove flange design confines the gasket entirely within the groove, preventing blowout and minimising gasket contact with the process fluid. This makes them especially effective in high-pressure and high-temperature applications such as oil & gas, chemical processing, and power generation.
Both Large Tongue & Groove and Small Tongue & Groove variants are produced in accordance with ASME B16.5 and B16.47 Series A & B. Our tongue and groove flanges are self-aligning and prevent direct contact of the gasket with the inner fluid, offering outstanding corrosion resistance across all grades.

Frequently Asked Questions - Tongue & Groove Flanges
What is a Tongue & Groove Flange?
A Tongue & Groove Flange is a type of flange face configuration in which one flange (the Tongue) has a raised ring machined onto its face, and the mating flange (the Groove) has a matching recess. When bolted together, the tongue fits precisely into the groove, confining the gasket and creating a leak-proof joint without the gasket contacting the process fluid.
What is the difference between Large Tongue & Groove and Small Tongue & Groove Flanges?
The Large Tongue & Groove Flanges have a larger gasket seating area and are typically used for higher pressure or larger bore applications. Small Tongue & Groove Flanges have a narrower seating area and are used in lower-pressure or smaller-bore piping. Both types are specified under ASME B16.5.
Which standard governs Tongue & Groove Flange dimensions?
Dimensions for Tongue & Groove Flanges are governed primarily by ASME B16.5 (sizes NPS 1/2" to 24") and ASME B16.47 Series A & B (sizes NPS 26" to 60"). Additional standards include MSS SP-44, API 605, and AWWA C207.
