Steel pipe flange specification
What is steel pipe flange?
Pipe flange, also known as flange.Flanges are the parts that connect pipes in a piping system. It is also suitable for connection between two devices (piping or equipment with valves). Generally the production process of steel pipe flange is forged to guarantee good quality.
The application of steel pipe flange in pipeline system.
The connection between the two pipes can be welded together directly, but it is difficult to connect them together without welding.When problems occur with the connecting parts, they can be difficult to fix.The same problem occurs between pipe and valve connections. Flanges are usually used to connect pipes or valves, so these problems can be easily solved.
How many parts are included in the flange connection?
Flange connection types usually have double units, washers and some bolts and nuts interconnecting.(first weld the pipe to the flange, then install the valve and other equipment on the flange.)
When connecting these parts, place the gasket between the two flanges and tighten the flange screw so that the two are tightly connected.
In short, flange connection is convenient, flexible and labor-saving.
In the case of pipe maintenance, we can remove the screw from the flange and take away the corresponding pipe or valve. Replace new piping and valves at the same time.
The advantages of steel pipe flanges.
Flange connection with good strength and sealing, simple structure, low cost.It can be removed repeatedly.
The disadvantages of steel pipe flanges.
Flange connection is the main leakage problem, the amount of leakage should be controlled in the process and environment allowed range.
The types of steel pipe flanges.
There are many types for steel pipe flanges, as below.
Welding neck flange,
Slip on flange,
Thread flange,
Socket weld flange,
Lap joint flange,
Blind flange,

And steel pipe flanges also including many kinds of sealing surface.
Flat face (FF) pipe flange,
Raised face (RF) pipe flange,
Male-female (M/F) face flange,
Tongue-groove (T/G) face steel flange,
The function of steel pipe flange.
Pipe flanges are pipe fittings that connect two pipes, pipes and valves or equipment.The holes in the flange are bolted with steel and then sealed between the two flanges using a gasket in the middle.Therefore, according to different applications and styles, flanges, blind flanges, socket welded flanges, threaded flanges, neck welded flanges and reduced flanges all have sliders.
Metleader provides a variety of steel pipe flanges, suitable for different industrial fields, oil and gas transportation, chemical plants, power plants, water treatment, refining and so on.
