In the continuous production of modern industry, flanges are susceptible to medium corrosion, erosion, temperature, pressure, shock.
Flange gaskets also have different materials, from low-pressure asbestos gaskets, high-pressure asbestos gaskets to metal gaskets.
In pipeline engineering, flanges are mainly used for connection of pipelines.
In fact, the name flange is a transliteration of flange. It was first proposed by an Englishman named Elchart in 1809, and the method of casting the flange was also proposed at the same time, but it has not been widely used for quite a while. Until the beginning of the twentieth century, flanges were widely used in various mechanical equipment and pipeline connections.
Flange is abbreviated as flange, which is just a general term.
From the definition of the flange, we can know that there are many types, and the classification needs to be distinguished from different dimensions. For example, the flange can be divided according to the connection method, integral flange, flat welding flange, butt welding flange, Loose flanges and threaded flanges, these are also common flanges.
