[Science Stickers] The basic knowledge of flanges is worth collecting!

   When it comes to flanges, many people may not have a special understanding, and they may not be particularly familiar in our daily lives. However, it is very common in some pipeline projects. There are holes in the flanges and bolts make the flanges tightly connected. , The flanges are sealed with gaskets to prevent leakage. So what are the standards for flanges? What are their common types? This article will give you a brief introduction. 

1. What is a flange

Flange is also called flange plate or flange plate. Flange is a part that connects pipe and pipe to each other, and is connected to the pipe end. Flange connection or flange joint refers to a detachable connection in which flanges, gaskets and bolts are connected to each other as a set of combined sealing structure; there are holes on the flanges, and the bolts make the flanges tightly connected, and the flanges are used between the flanges. The gasket is sealed. This can play a very good sealing role. All connecting parts that are connected by bolts on the periphery of two planes and are closed at the same time are generally called flanges.

2. Flange standard

The production flanges generally have fixed standards, and the standards are also different in different countries and regions. For example, national standard: HG/T20592-2009; American standard: ANSIB16.5, ANS16.47 CLass150, 300, 600, 900, 1500; Japanese standard: JIS5K, 10K, 16K, 20K; German standard DIN2527, 2543, 2545, 2566, 2572 , 2573, 2576, 2631, 2632, 2633, 2634, 2638; Italian standard UNI2276, 2277, 2278, 6083, 6084, 6088, 6089, 2299, 2280, 2281, 2282, 2283; British standard: BS4504.4506

3. Flange material type

There are actually many types of flanges, some are based on the connection method, and some are based on the product material. A gasket is added between the two flanges and then tightened with bolts. The thickness of flanges with different pressures is different, and the bolts they use are different. Our UPVC and CPVC use glue for bonding; FRPP uses welding rod for welding; PPH and PVDF have hot melt sockets and butt welding sockets.
