The flange is a part connected between the shaft and the shaft, which is used for the connection between the pipe ends; It is also useful in the flange on the import and export of the equipment for the connection between two devices, such as the reducer flange. Flange connection or flange joint refers to a detachable connection which is connected by flanges, gaskets and bolts as a group of combined sealing structures. The pipe flange refers to the flange of the pipe distribution pipe in the pipe device, and the import and export flange of the equipment is used in the equipment. There are holes in the flange and bolts make the two flanges tightly connected. The flange is sealed with a gasket. Flanges are divided into threaded connection (thread connection) flanges, welded flanges and clamp flanges. Flanges are used in pairs, wire flanges can be used for low pressure pipes, and welded flanges for more than four kilograms of pressure.
Offering a reliable way to connect pipe systems with the various equipment, valves, and other components of virtually any processing system, flanges are the second most used joining method after welding.
Using flanges adds flexibility when maintaining piping systems by allowing for easier disassembly and improved access to system components.
A typical flanged connection is comprised of three parts:
· Pipe Flanges
· Gasket
· Bolting
In most cases, there are specific gasket and bolting materials made from the same, or approved materials as the piping components you wish to connect. Stainless Steel flanges are some of the most common. However, flanges are available in a wide range of materials so matching them with your needs is essential.
Other common flange materials include Monel, Inconel, Chrome Moly, and many others depending on the application.
The best option for your needs will depend on both the system in which you intend to use the flange and your specific requirements.
Because the flange has good comprehensive performance, it is widely used in chemical industry, construction, water supply, drainage, petroleum, light and heavy industry, refrigeration, health, water heating, fire, power, aerospace, shipbuilding and other basic projects.
