Description
Flanges serve as crucial components in industrial piping systems, facilitating easy assembly and disassembly. With various types including slip-on, weld neck, and blind flanges, they cater to diverse application needs with efficiency and reliability.
Flanges are essential components in piping systems, connecting pipes, valves, and other equipment.
- Weld Neck Flanges: These flanges are welded to the pipe for added strength and stability, ideal for high-pressure and high-temperature applications.
- Slip-On Flanges: Easily slipped over the pipe and then welded in place, these flanges are cost-effective and suitable for low-pressure applications.
- Blind Flanges: Used to close the end of a piping system or vessel, blind flanges are non-detachable and provide a seal to prevent leakage.
- Threaded Flanges: Equipped with internal threads, these flanges are screwed onto pipes or fittings, making them convenient for low-pressure applications and easy installation.
- Socket Weld Flanges: Designed for use with small-diameter piping systems, these flanges feature a socket to fit the pipe end, ensuring a secure connection with welding.
- Lap Joint Flanges: These flanges are used in conjunction with stub ends to allow easy disassembly and alignment adjustments, suitable for systems requiring frequent maintenance.
Each type of flange serves specific purposes and is selected based on factors such as pressure, temperature, and application requirements.
