Different Types Of Flanges

Although the majority of fittings are outside of visible sight behind walls and underground

, pipe installations are of fundamental importance across all residential, commercial and industrial properties to ensure essential elements are both controlled within their inward or outward passage. Ensuring the installation or any repair work is carried out by a fully qualified professional plumber is equally important as any DIY work that is not carried out correctly can lead to detrimental effects that can cause severe damage to a system, or put lives at risk. In addition to providing adequate room in which to fit required stainless steel pipes to connect systems or machinery, pipes also need adequate methods of fitting each pipe together to ensure the safe passage of elements, such as water and chemicals, without the potential of leaks or blockages.

Flanges are common methods of connecting equipment such as valves, pipes and pumps to establish a system in which elements can be efficiently transferred. Dependable upon the system and the element, a flange is available in a multitude of types which can either be screwed or welded and then joined together with bolts to ensure the safe connection of pipes. A ring type joint is amongst the most efficient within a leak-proof connection used for high pressure systems, with a flange compressed on its face in a hexagonal shape to ensure a pipe is tightly sealed together with another. In contrast, threaded is the ideal type of flange for applications that are both low pressure and non-critical within pipe fittings that require no welding. Weld neck flanges are most popular, and required, within critical applications that transfer dangerous chemicals and gases within household applicants or industrial sites; as the flange is welded into a system via its neck within a perfect match, it not only allows for radiographic examinations, but also significantly reduces erosion and turbulence within the interior of a pipeline.

Slip-on, socket weld, blind and lap joint are other types of flange used within pipe fittings that ensure systems are efficiently connected to ensure residential and commercial properties, in addition with industrial sites, function properly within their respective purposes without any detrimental issues occurring.
