Pipe flanges and fittings are used to connect pipes, valves, pumps and other equipment in a piping system. These pipe flanges come in different sizes and shapes that can be purchased according to the usage, pressure ratings and the pipe size. The best types of flanges are those that offer a strong and reliable connection, are easy to install and can>withstand high pressure and temperature.
These pipe flanges not only are great for assembling for constructional structure but>also allows easy disassembly when not needed. They are the holder for any and every>joint assembly allowing equal distribution of any pipe tension or load. Pipe flanges and>fittings are often used on the basis of specified requirement and selection is made>according to the usage that includes temperature, environmental conditions, climate,>pressure requirements and other external factors.
Flanges can only be used specifically to its suited environment, durability, fittings,>pressure and its needed flow resistance. Some of the best stainless steel flanges>include:
These carbon steel pipe flanges have a high neck and opening to the plate that helps>distribute the pressure and tension of the pipe creating stability. Weld neck flanges are>best when used for high or low temperatures as it can with-hold any extreme>temperature.
Slip on flanges are round shaped, slip on to the pipe that are welded both inside and>outside. These flanges are best if used in low temperature or low pressure applications.>It is commonly used in cooling water lines, firefighting water lines, low-pressure>compressed air lines, and process lines for substances such as steam, oil, gas,>condensates, etc
Socket weld flanges have a socket like structure which are used by inserting the pipe>into the socket wedge. These are often used when the space is constrained and works>well with small high pressured stainless steel pipes.
Threaded flanges are very similar to the slip-on flange in structure but the major>difference between slip-on and threaded are that threaded flanges can be used without>welding. And are best for low temperature and pressure conditions.
Lap joint flanges are jointly assembled with a stub end and are used without welding>directly to the pipe which does not come directly in contact with the substance. Lap>joints are majorly used to join different size and thickness of materials together allowing>the pipe to uphold the pressure easily.
Each stainless pipe flanges and fittings has its own advantages and uses, and the>choice of flange depends on the specific application and operating conditions. Flanges>are majorly used in industries such as oil and gas, petrochemical, chemical, and power>generation, among others as they are reliable sources of equipment to seal off any>pressured pipes as they prevent leaks, accidents, and other operational issues.
