Sale and supply all types of flanges
Flanges are protruding parts, like lips, rims, or collars, often used to connect or reinforce objects. They are commonly found in pipes, valves, and other equipment, providing a surface for secure attachment and sealing, especially in plumbing and industrial applications.
Here’s a more detailed look at flanges:
Key Uses and Functions:
Connecting Pipes:
Flanges are used to join pipes, valves, pumps, and other equipment together, creating a secure and sealed connection.
REINFORCEMENT
They can add strength and stability to objects, providing a wider surface for attachment.
- SEALING: Flanges create a flat surface for gaskets, which seal the connection and prevent leaks in fluid systems.
- ATTACHMENTS: They provide a way to easily attach parts to each other, often using bolts or screws.
Flange facing
These are solid disks used to block the end of a pipe or pipeline.
Welding Neck Flanges
These are designed to be welded directly onto a pipe, providing a strong and permanent connection.
Slip-on Flanges
These are easily slid onto the pipe and welded into place.
Socket Welding Flanges
The socket weld flange, abbreviated as SWF, is similar to a slip-on flange, except only one fillet weld is made to the flange and pipe. Pipe is welded to socket weld flanges by inserting the pipe into the socket and backing the piping out between 1/16” and 1/8”.
Threaded Flanges
The threaded flange, abbreviated as TRHF, is similar to a slip-on flange, but has internal threads. It is normally used for low pressure and not used where temperature or stress is very high. This flange has a raised face.
Socket Welding Flanges
These are designed to be welded directly onto a pipe, providing a strong and permanent connection.
Raised Face Flanges
These have a raised area for the gasket to seal, suitable for higher pressures.
Flat Face Flanges
These have a flat surface for the gasket, suitable for lower pressures.
Ring Joint Flanges
These use a special ring-shaped gasket for sealing, suitable for high-pressure applications.
APPLICATIONS OF FLANGES:
- Piping Systems: Used extensively in plumbing, industrial piping, and HVAC systems.
- Industrial Equipment: Used for connecting and securing various pieces of equipment.
- Construction: Used for reinforcing columns, beams, and other structural elements.
In summary, flanges are versatile connectors that play a crucial role in joining, sealing, and reinforcing a wide range of objects, especially in industrial and plumbing applications.
