A brief introduction to the role of the flange

Flanges are parts that are connected between steel pipes and steel pipes and are generally used for connection between pipe ends. Flanges are mainly used in industry and play an important role in industrial manufacturing. Therefore, the market demand for flanges is relatively large. As an industrial part, the flange plays an irreplaceable role. So, where is its function embodied? What are the advantages of the flange?

Flanges are parts that connect steel pipes to steel pipes. connected to the pipe end. There are holes in the flange, and bolts can be worn to make the two flanges tightly connected. The flanges are sealed with gaskets. Flange fittings refer to fittings with flanges (lands). It can be cast, screwed, or welded. Flange connection (flange, joint) consists of a pair of flanges, a gasket, and several bolts and nuts. The gasket is placed between the sealing surfaces of the two flanges. After the nut is tightened, the specific pressure on the surface of the gasket reaches a certain value and then deforms, and fills the unevenness on the sealing surface to make the connection tight. Some pipe fittings and equipment have their flanges, which are also flange connections. Flange connection is an important connection method for pipeline construction.

The flange connection is easy to use and can withstand greater pressure. In industrial pipelines, flange connections are widely used. In the home, the pipe diameter is small and low pressure, and the flange connection is not visible. If you are in a boiler room or a production site, there are flanged pipes and equipment everywhere.

The function of the flange is to fix and seal the joints of the pipe fittings. Flanges are mainly used to connect and fasten pipes, pipe fittings, etc., and maintain the sealing performance of pipe fittings; flanges are detachable for easy disassembly and inspection of pipeline conditions. Flanges with different diameters are resistant to corrosion, acid, and alkali, and can be used in water conservancy, electric power, power stations, pipe fittings, industry, pressure vessels, etc.

Stainless steel flanges can be used in boiler pressure vessels, petroleum, chemical, shipbuilding, pharmaceutical, metallurgy, machinery, food, and other industries, and are convenient for the replacement of a certain section of pipeline.

The reducer flange is mainly used for the connection between the motor and the reducer, as well as the connection between the reducer and other equipment. The butt welding flange is a pipe used to transfer pressure, thereby reducing high-stress concentration on the flange base.
