The company mainly produces flange castings of low carbon steel, alloy steel and other materials. It can meet the all-round requirements of customers for different grades of product quality and physical and chemical properties.
Our series of flange products such as LOOSE FLANGE DIN2642 PN10 RST37-2 Steel Forge Flange have been recognized by the international market with strict production technology and superior quality!
Flanges are very common in pipeline engineering. They are mainly used for pipeline connections. However, some people still do not know the part of flanges. Today, Ino Flange will introduce the basic knowledge of flanges to you.
1. What is the use of flanges?
Flanges are used for positioning. Flanges are the interconnected parts between shafts and are used for the connection between pipe ends and also for the connection between two devices.
2. How is the flange connected to the pipeline? Where is it welded?
There are many types of flanges, such as flat welding flanges, butt welding flanges, looper flanges, etc. Among them, flat welding flanges are plug-welded, and the welding height is 2-5mm from the flange sealing surface. The flange can be directly butt welded, and the bolted connection of the loop flange does not need to be welded.
3. What is the difference between flange and valve?
Flanges and valves are different. The former is a part that connects the shaft to each other, while the valve is a pipeline accessory that controls the flow or stop, flow direction, and flow speed of the medium in the pipeline. A flange can be used as a connection method between the valve and the pipeline.
4. What are the main principles for choosing flanges?
The selection of flanges is also very important. It is only necessary to select the appropriate flanges. For pipelines with a design temperature of 300°C and below and a nominal pressure of less than or equal to 2.5MPa, flat welding flanges should be used: for pipes with a design temperature greater than or equal to 2.5MPa For pipes with a temperature of 300°C or a nominal pressure greater than or equal to 4.0MPa, butt welding flanges should be used.
5. Under what circumstances can screw connection be used?
When the design pressure is less than or equal to 1.6MPa and the design temperature is not more than 200℃, the threaded connection method can be used on "Welded Steel Pipes for Low-Pressure Fluid Transport" GB/T 3091.
