Choosing between domestic and import flanges can impact your project’s cost, quality, and lead time. At BarFlanges.com, we offer both options and help you decide what’s best for your application. Here’s a straight look at what you need to know.
What Are Domestic Flanges?
Domestic flanges are manufactured in the United States, often using U.S.-sourced materials. They’re known for:
- High Quality Standards: Typically produced under tighter quality controls.
- Traceability: Full material and manufacturing traceability is often available.
- Compliance: Easier to meet Buy American or project-specific sourcing requirements.
What Are Import Flanges?
Import flanges are produced overseas, in countries like South Korea, India, Italy, or China. They can be a solid choice when:
- Cost is a Primary Factor: Imports generally come at a lower price point.
- Large Volume Orders: Global manufacturers can scale quickly.
- Standardized Specs: Many imports meet ASME, ANSI, or DIN requirements.
