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.

How to choose stainless steel elbow fittings?
First, determine the material flowing through the pipe. If the pressure in a general water plant pipeline is low, a straight seam elbow is more cost-effective. Straight seam elbows are made by pushing straight seam steel pipe. For high-temperature applications, seamless elbows are essential for better pressure resistance. If the pipe is used in chemical or corrosive equipment, stainless steel or alloy materials should be selected.
