Description
A Flange is a mechanical device used to connect pipes, valves, and other equipment in fluid transmission systems. It allows for easy assembly and disassembly, while reinforcing connection points, minimizing leakage, and withstanding internal pressure in the system.
Key Features of Flanges
Provides safe and secure connections for piping and fluid systems
Designed to handle high pressure and temperature in industrial applications
Available in standardized specifications such as ANSI, JIS, DIN, and BS
Manufactured from durable materials like carbon steel, stainless steel, or cast iron
Types of Flanges
Weld Neck Flange – Features a long tapered hub, ideal for high-pressure applications
Slip-On Flange – Easy to install by slipping over the pipe and welding
Blind Flange – Used to seal the end of a pipe or valve
Threaded Flange – Screwed onto the pipe without the need for welding
Socket Weld Flange – Suitable for small-diameter pipes, with a socket for welding
Applications
Piping systems in industrial facilities, such as petrochemical, oil, and gas industries
Plumbing and wastewater treatment systems
Fluid transmission systems in energy sectors and power plants
Steam and heating systems in industrial plants
