ANSI Stainless Steel Forged Pipe Flange
Product Details
Pipe flanges are used to join pipes and other piping components—such as valves, fittings, and special equipment—by means of bolts and gaskets. Depending on the design, flanges can be connected through welding, lapping, or threaded installation.
Using pipe flanges offers several advantages. They provide a strong and reliable joint between pipes and equipment, allow easy access for inspection, maintenance, or system modification, and help reinforce the connection area.
The method of connection depends on the flange type and its intended application. Before installation, factors such as the conveyed medium, operating temperature, pressure rating, flange size, and relevant standards should be carefully evaluated to ensure safe and stable performance of the piping system.
