What are the differences and connections between flanges, flange gaskets and flange fittings?
Those who are often in contact with engineering have heard of flange, flange gasket and flange pipe fittings. They may also have seen them, but it is difficult to distinguish them. Especially some oil and gas pipeline projects, which are commonly used and common. However, it is difficult to distinguish for use. Shanxi Haokun flanges Group Co., Ltd. will explain the differences and connections between flanges, flange gaskets and flange fittings. Because we are a flange manufacturer, we are more familiar with the flange gaskets and flange fittings associated with the flange, rather than all types of flanges and gaskets. First of all, the flange we produce is also called flange plate or flange plate. The main function of flange is to connect the pipe end with the pipe. Most flanges have bolt holes. After matching bolts, connect the two flanges. The flanges are sealed with gaskets. Flanged pipe fittings refer to pipe fittings with flanges (lugs or adapters). It can be cast (not shown), or it can be connected by thread or welded. The flange connection is composed of a pair of flanges, a gasket and several bolts and nuts. Flange gasket is a kind of ring made of material that can produce plastic deformation and has certain strength. Most gaskets are cut from non-metallic plates or made by professional factories according to the specified dimensions. Their materials are asbestos rubber plate, asbestos plate, polyethylene plate, etc; Metal clad gaskets made by wrapping non-metallic materials such as asbestos with thin metal plates (white iron sheet and stainless steel); There is also a spiral wound gasket made of thin steel tape and asbestos tape.
