Machined Flanges and CNC Fittings to Your Drawing

DEK turns and mills pipe and vessel flanges, vacuum flanges, waveguide flanges, hydraulic adapters, tube fittings and sanitary ferrules from 304/316 stainless, 2205 duplex, brass, 6061 aluminum, carbon steel and titanium. These are sealing parts, so we work to face flatness, sealing-face finish, bolt-circle position and thread class.

Flanges and fittings sit in our custom CNC machined parts catalogue: no MOQ, every drawing engineer-reviewed. Read what a flange is, or our guide on choosing the right flange type while the drawing is open.

Materials, Processes & Tolerances for Flanges

Grades, machining routes, sealing-face tolerances and finishes for custom flanges, adapters, ferrules and fittings, all from one shop.

  • Materials for Machined Flanges and Fittings

    The grade follows the medium and the joint: corrosion, chloride, pressure, weight or welding.

    View All Metals
    Material Why it is used
    Stainless 304 Corrosion resistance at low cost
    Stainless 316L Chemical, marine, vacuum, sanitary
    Stainless 2205 duplex Strength, chloride resistance
    Brass C360 Fast-machining water/air fittings
    Aluminum 6061 Light waveguide, vacuum adapters
    Mild steel S355J2 Structural, low-pressure flanges
    Titanium grade 2 Seawater, chemical, low weight
  • Custom Fittings Machining Processes

    Round parts are turned with faces, bores, raised faces and grooves in one chucking, so they stay concentric and square.

Design Tips for Custom Flanges and Fittings

Six drawing habits that shorten review, keep sealing faces flat and avoid interpretation errors on flanges and fittings.

  • Reference the Standard

    Cite ASME B16.5, EN 1092-1, ISO 2861 or MIL-DTL-3922 and dimension only the deviations: faster review, fewer errors.

  • Sealing-Face Finish by Function

    Ra 0.4 µm for O-rings and metal seals; serrated Ra 3.2–6.3 µm on raised faces for gaskets that need bite.

  • CF Knife-Edge Details

    State the knife-edge angle and height on the drawing, and ask for the edge to be protected before shipment.

  • Dual-Standard Adapters

    Give both thread callouts with class on the drawing, for example 1/2-14 NPT to G1/2 ISO 228-1 class A.

  • Wall Behind the Raised Face

    Keep at least 3 mm between the raised face groove and the bolt circle so the face stays flat under bolt load.

  • Welded Flanges and Fittings

    When parts will be welded, specify 316L or 304L and ask for a weld prep chamfer to be machined in.

What to Call Out on Your Drawing

  • Standard or Drawing

    Send a drawing or the standard reference (ASME B16.5, EN 1092-1, ISO 2852) so an engineer can check dimensions and thread callouts by hand.

  • Material and Pressure Rating

    State the grade, from 304 or 316L to 2205 duplex or titanium grade 2, and the pressure rating the flange or fitting must hold.

  • Quantity and Certificates

    Give the quantity, from one adapter to a 5,000-piece run, and ask for material and inspection certificates if you need them.

Applications & Industries

DEK flanges and fittings serve oil and gas instrumentation, semiconductor vacuum and gas lines, telecom and radar waveguides, and marine seawater piping.

Why DEK for Custom Fittings Machining

Odd quantities and odd combinations of standards are normal here, and each one gets the same engineering check.

  • No MOQ, Any Quantity

    A single adapter is quoted the same way as a 5,000-piece run, and prototypes ship in 3–5 days.

  • Thread Callouts Checked

    An engineer checks every thread callout by hand at review, and threads are verified with go/no-go gauges.

  • Inspected at FAI

    Thread gauges, CMM and surface roughness testers are used at FAI, and inspection certificates are provided on request.

  • Verified Stainless Stock

    Incoming stainless is spectrometer verified, and material certificates are provided on request for each order.

Flanges & Fittings FAQ

Short answers on standards, waveguide flanges and thread callouts for machined flanges and fittings.

Can you machine flanges to ASME B16.5 or EN 1092-1 in small quantities?
Yes. Standard-dimension flanges are turned from bar, plate, or your forged blanks with no MOQ, so a single blind flange or a short set of non-standard sizes is quoted normally.
Do you machine waveguide flanges?
Yes. UG, CPR, and UBR/PBR waveguide flanges are milled in aluminum, brass, or copper with the aperture and bolt pattern held to ±0.02 mm, then nickel plated if required.
What thread standards can you cut on CNC fittings?
NPT and NPTF, BSPP (G) and BSPT, UN/UNF, JIC 37° flare, SAE ORB, and metric threads. All are checked with go/no-go thread gauges before shipment.
