Pipe Flanges: Ensuring Secure and Leak-Proof Joints
Pipe flanges are indispensable components in industrial piping systems, facilitating secure connections between pipes, valves, fittings, and more. At Fortune Fittings Pvt. Ltd., we offer a wide range of pipe flanges designed to meet diverse industrial needs with precision engineering and top-quality materials. In this article, we delve into the intricacies of pipe flanges, their types, working principles, materials, and applications.
How Pipe Flanges Work
Pipe flanges work by bolting together piping components with the aid of a gasket to ensure a leak-free connection. The components of a typical pipe flange connection include the pipe itself, the flange, a gasket for sealing, bolting, and in some cases, welding.
Standard Types of Pipe Flanges
Threaded Flange
- Joined using male and female threads.
- Suitable for low-pressure applications like water and compressed air systems.
Welding Neck Flange
- Welded to the pipe for high-pressure applications.
- Offers unrestricted flow without turbulence or erosion.
Slip-On Flange
- Secured with fillet welds on the inside and outside.
- Ideal for low-pressure, non-critical applications.
Socket Weld Flange
- Used for small-size, high-pressure pipes.
- Pipe is inserted into the flange socket and welded in place.
Lap Joint Flange
- Combined with stub ends to reduce costs.
- Ideal for connecting dissimilar materials in pipeline systems.
Blind Flange
- Seals or closes pipelines to block fluid flow.
- Allows easy access for maintenance activities.
