Torque carrying capacity of the flange

A flange is a relatively simple mechanical connector, especially in high pressure pipeline applications. Reliable and cost-effective in the industry, the torque carrying capacity of flanges is very strong compared to other mechanical connectors. An important function is a system (such as a deepwater pipeline) that experiences pipeline flow through changes in temperature and pressure.

Can flanges be designed to meet various application needs, such as high temperature and corrosion resistance, operating mode? The pipe flange is flush with the pipe to which it is connected. The holes in the surface are mechanically connected by bolts, collars, adhesives or welds. Welding joins materials by melting the workpiece and adding filler material. For rugged high-pressure connections, welding is often an effective method for flange connections.

Most pipe flanges are designed to be welded to the pipe. Brazing is used to melt the material by melting the filler metal, and the filler metal is solidified to act as the connection meson. This method does not melt the workpiece and cause thermal deformation, which results in small tolerances and clean joints. Many joining methods have unique characteristics, and there are other more important considerations when choosing a pipe flange.

Consumers should consider the physical specifications, type, material and performance characteristics, physical specifications of the applied flange? First, flanges are suitable for designing flanged pipes. The physical specifications of the pipe flange include size and design shape, flange size? The physical dimensions should be specified so that the flange dimensions can be adjusted reasonably.
