What is a pipe flange (pipe flange)?
Pipe flange, also known as flange plate. Flanges are parts of a piping system that connect pipes.
At the same time, it is also suitable for the connection between two equipment (pipe and valve or with equipment).
Causes and ways of working steel flanges in piping systems
The connection between two pipes can be welded directly together, but without welding, it is difficult to join together. When something goes wrong with the connection, it can be difficult to fix. The same problem occurs with pipe and valve connections.
Flanges are usually used to connect pipes or valves, so they can easily solve the above problems.
How many parts does a flange connection include?
Flange connection types usually have two units, with a gasket and some bolts and nuts to connect to each other. (First weld pipe to flange, then install valve and other equipment on flange.)
To connect these parts, place the gasket between the two flanges and tighten the flange screws so that the two are tightly connected.
As a sentence.
Flange connection is convenient, flexible and labor-saving.
During pipe service, we can remove the screws from the flange and remove the corresponding pipe or valve. Replace pipes and valves at the same time.
Stainless steel flanges do not cause corrosion, pitting, corrosion or wear. Stainless steel is also one of the strongest building metals. Due to the excellent corrosion resistance of stainless steel, it allows the structural parts to permanently maintain the integrity of the engineering design.
Chrome stainless steel flanges also combine mechanical strength and high extensibility, making it easy to manufacture parts to meet the needs of architects and structural designers.
All metals react with oxygen in the atmosphere to form an oxide film on the surface. Unfortunately, the iron oxide formed on ordinary carbon steel continues to oxidize, expanding corrosion and eventually forming holes. The surface of carbon steel can be secured by electroplating paint or anti-oxidant metals such as zinc, nickel and chromium, but it is well known that this protection is only a thin film.
Stainless steel flange application: stainless steel flange is widely used in petroleum, chemical industry, nuclear power plant, food manufacturing, construction, shipbuilding, paper making, medicine and other industries. It is used differently in different industries and shows its value in various industries.
