ASME B16.5 Loose Flange

1. Loose flanges can be divided into three forms: flat welded metal ring free flanges, plate flanging free flanges, and butt welded ring free flanges.

2. The free flange is to use flanging, steel rings, etc. to put the flange on the pipe end, and the flange can go on the pipe end. The metal ring or flange is the sealing surface, and the attribute of the flange is to compress them. It can be considered that the free flange does now now no longer come into contact with the medium due to the fact it is blocked with the aid of the utilization of the use of the steel ring or flange.

3. The free flange sheet is appropriate for the connection and corrosion-resistant pipeline of steel, aluminum and one of a structure non-ferrous metals and stainless acid-resistant metal containers, and its nominal stress PN is 1.6MPa

Loose flange is a pipe connection method, and its quintessential elements and advantages include:

Simple and fast: The free flange is a boltless connection method, which is then as soon as greater on hand and rapidly to set up and disassemble, and is extraordinary for things to do that pick out to be disassembled frequently.

Leakage reduction: The free flange has notable sealing, which can correctly decrease or hold away from the leakage trouble at the pipe connection.

Reduced upkeep costs: Due to the on hand set up and casting off of free flanges, protection can be carried out accelerated quickly, lowering preservation prices and downtime.

Wide fluctuate of application: free flanges are exquisite for a vary of pipeline systems, oftentimes in food, medicine, chemical and awesome industries that require excessive hygiene standards.

High reliability: The free flange has been designed and verified, and its connection form is tightly closed and reliable, which can make tremendous the tightly closed and tightly closed operation of the pipeline system.

In general, as a reachable and reliable pipe connection method, free flange has the blessings of reachable installation, diminished leakage, and diminished protection cost, and has quintessential utility price in some awesome occasions.
