flange (flange) connection is the two pipes, fittings or equipment, first fixed in a flange flange, between the two flanges, plus flange pad, bolted together to complete the connection. Some pipe fittings and equipment have their own flanges, which are also flange connections. Flange connection is an important connection mode in pipeline construction. The flange connection is easy to use and can withstand greater pressure. In industrial pipes, in the home, the pipe diameter is small, and it is low pressure, and the flange connection is not visible. If you are in a boiler room or production site, there are flanged pipes and equipment everywhere.
According to the connection method, the connection types of flange can be divided into: plate flat welded flange, flat welded flange with neck, butt welded flange with neck, socket welded flange, threaded flange, flange cover, butt welded flange with neck ring with loose sleeve, flat welded ring with loose sleeve flange, ring groove flange and flange cover, large diameter flat flange, large diameter high neck flange, figure 8 blind plate, butt welded ring with loose sleeve flange, etc. [3].
