Flanges: Applications, Types and Flange Ratings

A flange is said to be a strategy for connecting valves, pipes as well as pumps to frame a piping system.  With this, it provides easy access to examination, cleaning, and adjustment. The flanges are generally screwed or welded and the joints of it are manufactured by bolting together two flanges along with the gasket between them in order to provide a seal. Also, the flanges are forged as well as a thrown ring of steel made to interface segments of join pipe or pipe to the pressure weight pump or vessel.

This is connected to each other by darting and connected to the piping framework by threading or welding. Following are the fundamental kinds of flanges such as threaded, lap joint, and socket weld, orifice as well as weld neck. It is made to the following pressure ratings such as 400lb, 1500lb, 300lb, 150lb and 2500lb.

The most extensively identified facings machined on a flange such as-
  1. Raised face, 1/16 inch for 300lb or 150lb and ¼ inch for heavier.
  2. Flat face is for 3000lb or 150.
  3. Ring Type Joint Flanges could be applied to the entire pressure eight ratings.

We at, Metal Yard is one of the leading flanges supplier or makers in India. And even as a pioneering maker of flanges, we provide flanges in every corner of the globe. We handle flanges generated through various grade and evaluations of materials. We can provide the flanges in customized options to the customers around the world. So, you can stay connected with us for some other different kinds of flanges and we would be able to custom to those just for you.



Here are some different kinds of flanges described such as-
Tongue flange/groove flange- the grooved flange is continuously accompanied along with the tongue flange. In this blend, a flange holds a machined raised ring known as tongue and other different machine groove depression known as a groove.

Slip-on Raised Face Flanges - this is a pipe flange and its name says slip over the pipe. Well, it is set up by welding at the top, with the addition of base side on the flange. It helps in neglecting leakage or spillage and offer quality strength to the association.

Blind Raised Face Flanges- a blind flange is also known as blanking flange that is used as a segment of sealing or fixing an end of the piping framework. It is used being a portion of high-pressure weight application in order to ban the line of fluids or gases from a single end.

High hub blind flange- this flange is equal to the general type of flanges. And it seems like a simple round plate with no focal hold. It is mostly used in the application in which close tolerance is vital.

Expander flange- such kind of flange is the mixture of a reducer and weld neck pipe.  Also, the non-flanged end of this flange is bigger than to the flange end. It is used where the need of changing the size of pipe run.

There are more other types of flanges available which you can buy from us as per your need and budget.
