What is flanged joint?
A flange joint is a connection of pipes, where the connecting pieces have flanges by which the parts are bolted together.
A flange joint is a non-permanent, removable method of joining or blanking off steel and plastic pipes. Flange joints consist of a pair of identical discs with a row of attachment holes close to their outer circumference. When two pipes are to be joined, the two discs are placed against each other in such a way that the holes line up. Bolts are then passed through the holes and tensioned, thus pulling the flanges against each other firmly. Flanges are available in a range of designs including slip-on flanges, raised face flanges, and lap joint flanges all of which suit differing pipe system requirements.
The flange joint is one of the most convenient and efficient removable pipe joining and blanking systems in common use. Flange joints are suitable for a range of pipe designs, materials, and sizes and are commonplace on systems as perse as large municipal water mains and small high pressure steam lines. Flange joints are quick to assemble and disassemble and may be included on stock pipe lengths or installed in-situ on existing pipe circuits. The flange joint allows for quick and effective connecting of pipe sections and for joining sections of piping to ancillary equipment such as pumps, valves, and metering devices. The wide range of types also means that there is a flange joint suitable for most transported mediums.
