Improve the flexibility and efficiency of your piping system

Dec. 06, 2024

Flange joints are a type of mechanical connector that connects pipes of different materials or sizes to equipment with flanges (such as pumps, valves or other pipe components), helping to convert flangeless flat-end pipes into flange components. This type of fitting is widely used in water, gas, oil and sewage pipe systems.

Main features:

1. Connection diversity

Flange joints can directly connect a variety of different types of pipes, such as PVC pipes, ductile iron pipes and steel pipes. This feature is of great advantage when upgrading pipes or integrating systems with different standards or materials.

2. Sealing performance

Most flange joints are equipped with sealing devices (usually gaskets) to ensure that the connection between the flange and the pipe is well sealed and prevents leakage.

3. Flexibility

They generally have a certain degree of axial mobility, which helps to adjust the alignment of the pipe or adapt to the thermal expansion caused by temperature changes inside the pipe.

4. Ease of installation

When flange joints establish flange connections, there is no need for welding or threading operations, which simplifies the installation process.

Uses:

In water and sewage systems, flange joints are often used to assemble pipes in water distribution and sewage networks.

In the oil and gas sector, it is also an indispensable component in the installation of oil and gas pipelines to connect pipes to flange valves or pumps.

In HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) networks, flange joints can be used to connect pipes to equipment such as heat exchangers and pumps.

Types of flange joints:

1. Slip-on flange joint

This joint is installed at the end of the pipe and is usually fixed by welding.

2. Bolted flange joint

It is connected with bolts and usually includes a gasket for sealing.

3. Flexible flange joint

This type of joint allows a certain degree of movement, which is beneficial when the pipe expands, contracts or vibrates.

Engineers use flange joints to improve the efficiency of pipeline assembly and maintenance, especially when mixed pipe materials or old infrastructure are involved.
