Special-shaped flange is a kind of pipeline connection flange, which has the following advantages in different pipeline systems:
1.Strong adaptability: special-shaped flanges can be customized according to the needs of the pipeline system with flanges of various specifications, shapes and materials to meet different pipeline connection requirements.
2.Good maintainability: When the pipeline system needs to be inspected, maintained and replaced, the special-shaped flange can provide convenient disassembly and installation, so as to reduce downtime maintenance time and reduce maintenance costs.
3.High safety: The special-shaped flange has good sealing performance, which can effectively prevent medium leakage and air leakage in the pipeline system, thereby ensuring the safety and stability of the pipeline system.
4.Uniform distribution: The uniform distribution of special-shaped flanges can reduce the stress concentration of pipeline connections, thereby prolonging the service life of pipelines.
5.Reusable: The special-shaped flange has good durability and can be reused when it needs to be connected again, reducing the waste of economy and time caused by re-establishing a new connection.
Due to its flexibility, safety, maintainability and high adaptability, special-shaped flanges are usually used in chemical, petroleum, natural gas, electric power, paper and pharmaceutical industries to meet the requirements for connecting flanges in different pipeline systems.
The following are details of several aspects of special-shaped flanges:
1.Material selection: Special-shaped flanges can be made of stainless steel, carbon steel, cast steel and cast iron, and the appropriate material can be selected according to different media, temperature and pressure requirements.
2.Flange structure: The pipe connection standards for special-shaped flanges such as ANSI/ASME B16.5, etc., usually consist of two circular flanges, gaskets and bolts. The number and size of gaskets and bolts vary according to different pipe sizes and connections Depends on the method.
3.Types of special-shaped flanges: special-shaped flanges can be made into different shapes and sizes according to different design requirements. Common special-shaped flanges include tee flanges, manifold flanges, ear flanges with holes, flange sleeves and flanges Ring etc.
4.Applicable occasions: Special-shaped flanges are usually used in high-temperature, high-pressure and corrosion-resistant media, such as pipeline systems in petroleum, natural gas, chemical and electric power industries, which require frequent maintenance, disassembly and replacement.
In short, special-shaped flanges are a common way of connecting pipes, and different specifications and shapes can be designed according to the needs of different piping systems. Its advantages include its safety and stability, easy maintenance and disassembly, and strong adaptability.
Product Process
1.Material preparation: choose the appropriate material, such as stainless steel, carbon steel or cast steel, etc., cut and shape according to the design requirements.
2.Design and manufacture: According to the characteristics and requirements of the pipeline system, make suitable special-shaped flange design drawings and manufacturing processes, including special-shaped flange structure design, manufacturing process control and testing standards, etc.
3.Manufacturing process: first cut the material into a specific shape and size, and then process, shape, assemble and other processes. Then inspect and test the special-shaped flange to ensure its quality and reliability.
4.Surface treatment: During the manufacturing process, it is also necessary to carry out surface processing and treatment on the special-shaped flange, usually including polishing, painting and other processes, to improve its aesthetics and corrosion resistance.
5.Packaging and transportation: inspect, maintain, package and mark the finished special-shaped flanges, then transport them, and finally deliver them to users.
