Benefits of Flanges and its Materials
To connect pipes, valves, pimps, and other parts to form a piping system flanges are used. Flanges work is to allow a person to easily repair and Maintain the piping system. Flanges are commonly crewed or welded. We don’t have to clear out the whole pipe for inspection instead only a small section of the pipe can be inspected to find out the fault with the help of a flange. The flange allows easy inspection and cleaning of a pipe. For sealing by using gasket two flanges are joined together by bolts. The Flanges are mostly used in the chemical industry, petroleum industry, and the oil and gas industry. Some important categories of flanges are slip-on flange , lap joint flange, welding flange, socket flange, threaded flange, etc. There are some special categories of flanges that are orifice flange, expander flanges, reducing flanges, neck flanges, nipo flanges, and long welding flanges.
