Types of Flanges
 

Slip-on flanges

The slip-on flange is a ring (with or without a hub) placed over the pipe’s end. The flange face extends from the end of the pipe by a sufficient distance to apply a welded bead to the inner diameter.

Weld neck flanges

Weld neck flange is also known as a high-neck flange or tapered hub flange. The weld neck flange has a neck that can properly transfer the pipe tension.

Socket weld flanges

The socket weld flanges are connected on the outside just by a fillet weld. It is often not advisable for critical services. These are useful for the small-bore lines in your system.

Blind flanges

The production of blind flanges happens without a bore and is utilized to blank off the ends of pressure vessel openings, valves, and pipes.

Lap joint flanges

Lap joint flanges are useful with stub ends when the pipe is made of expensive material. E.g., a carbon steel flange can be added to the stainless steel pipe system as the flanges do not come into contact with the substance in the pipe.

Threaded flanges

Threaded flanges look identical to slip-on flanges, but the key difference is that the threaded flange is bored out to match the inside diameter of the particular pipe.

Advantages of Flanges
 
productcate-557-317

1.Flanges provide better flexibility

Chances are you have pipelines in some hard-to-reach areas. You need more flexibility in those locations without the need for adapters. Flanges keep you from using adapters in pipes while providing much-needed flexibility.

2.They fit well in tight spaces

Many pipelines deal with tight spaces. Traditional flange fittings are easy to assemble in areas where a wrench does not have clearance. They are simply assembled with moderate torque, making them easier to fit in tight spaces.

productcate-518-382

3.Flanges provide easy maintenance

A connection using flanges makes maintenance much easier. This is particularly true for rigid lines in continuous pipes and metal tubes. Flanges also afford easy disconnecting, reconnecting, and zero-clearance assembly for better maintenance of manifold, tube, and hose connections.

4.Flange connections and fittings aren’t likely to loosen

When compared with standard hydraulic fittings, flange connections and fittings are less prone to loosening. They also decrease the likelihood that other components become loose during demanding hydraulic applications. Instead, they provide a better load distribution by effectively clamping around a flange head.

Uses of Flanges
 

Manufacturing industries:

For instance, the presence of flanges in injection molding machines, plays a vital role in the mold-making process. They provide secure connections at the joints of, equipment like hydraulic and pneumatic systems and mold attachment. Proper connections allow for control and facilitate precise alignments among other factors.

 

Power generation:

In power generation facilities like hydroelectric and power plants, flanges serve critical purposes. They guarantee strong and secure connections at the joints of pumps, turbines, and other available machinery.

 

Water and wastewater treatment:

Flanges are extensively used in sewer systems and water treatment plants. They establish connections between, pumps, pipelines, and other equipment.

 

Food and beverage industry:

Stainless steel pipes are prevalent in the food and beverage industry due to their hygiene, cleanliness, and resistance to corrosion. They are used for conveying food products, beverages, and dairy products, as well as for process piping in breweries, wineries, and food processing plants.

 

Pharmaceutical industry:

Stainless steel pipes play a crucial role in pharmaceutical manufacturing and processing. They are used for transferring fluids, chemicals, and pharmaceutical ingredients while maintaining a sterile and hygienic environment.

 

Construction and architecture:

Stainless steel pipes are utilized in architectural and construction projects for structural purposes, handrails, façades, and decorative elements. They offer durability, aesthetic appeal, and resistance to environmental factors, making them suitable for both interior and exterior applications.

 

FAQ

Q: Which industries use flanges?

A: Flanges are essential in today's gas and oil industry due to their usefulness in connecting valves, pumps, and other vital components that make up a piping system. These flanges are typically connected by either being screwed on or welded together with the pipe.

Q: When would flanges be used instead of unions?

A: Due to the bulk and cost of unions, they are rarely used in sizes above 90mm or 3", but are available up to 110mm or 4". Flanges are usually used to perform the same job at sizes at and above 110mm or 4" pipe.

Q: What are flanged fittings used for?

A: Flanged fittings allow easy assembly and disassembly for inspection, cleaning, or repair in piping networks transporting water, chemicals, gas, or other media. These fittings are crucial in various piping systems, providing a secure and accessible means of connecting pipes, valves, pumps, and other equipment.

Q: What does ANSI mean in flanges?

A: In case this is the first time you're hearing the phrase, ANSI flanges simply refers to flanges whose construction meets ANSI (American National Standards Institute) specifications.

Q: Is there a difference between ANSI and ASME flanges?

A: The ANSI and ASME variants stand as stalwarts, each with unique characteristics and advantages. While ANSI flanges epitomize versatility and compatibility, ASME flanges embody precision engineering and performance excellence.

Q: What is the difference between API and ANSI flanges?

A: ASME/ANSI flanges are common in industrial process systems handling water, steam, air and gas. API flanges are manufactured for high strength operating refinery systems with products such as oil and explosive gases.

Q: What is the difference between ANSI 125 and 150 flanges?

A: 1 Class 125 flanges are made from cast iron, ANSI/ASME B16. 5 Class 150 can be made from steel or stainless and ANSI/ASME B16. 42 Class 150 is made from ductile iron. However, the bolting pattern is the same for both Class 125 and 150 so, regardless of material, they will bolt together.

Q: What is the American standard for flanges?

A: The most commonly referred to flange standard in the oil and gas industry is arguably ANSI B16. 5 (ANSI - American National Standards Institute). However, despite being referred to extensively by engineers, flange manufacturers and pipe fitting suppliers the ANSI B16.

Q: How to determine flange class?

A: A flange's pressure class is assigned based on the flange's maximum pressure rating, maximum temperature rating, and the material of manufacture. The maximum pressure and maximum temperature ratings are collectively referred to as the 'pressure-temperature ratings'.

Q: What is the difference between Class A and Class B flanges?

A: Series A flanges tend to be more costly than Series B flanges. ASME B16. 47 Series B flanges need more but smaller fasteners, such as bolts & nuts. They also usually have a smaller bolt circle diameter than Series A flanges.
