Welded flanges can greatly save space and reduce weight, and it can also ensure that the joint will not leak, which has very good sealing performance. Since it is so, do you know more about the advantages of welded flanges?
1. The reason why the size of the welded flange is reduced is that the diameter of the seal is reduced, which will reduce the cross-section of the sealing surface.
2. The flange gasket has been replaced by the sealing ring, to ensure the matching between sealing surfaces.
3. Welded flanges are suitable for connecting steel pipes with nominal pressure not exceeding 2.5MPa, and the sealing surface of flat welded flanges can be made into smooth type, concave-convex type, and tongue-and-groove type.
4. A new simple quick-opening welded flange is put forward, given the problems of high labor intensity, high consumables, large-scale equipment, and high cost caused by the repeated welding head method at the service center when passing the ball and sweeping the line after a pressure test of a long-distance pipeline.
The advantages of welded flanges are mainly those shared with you above. When we produce and use welded flanges, we should understand these advantages of welded flanges. Smooth welded flanges are widely used, and the other two kinds of welded flanges are also common in use.
