Uses & Functions
Its core roles revolve around system connectivity and reliability:
- Connect components: Joins pipes, tanks, heaters, or valves into a unified system.
- Enable disassembly: Allows easy access to equipment for maintenance, repairs, or part replacements.
- Seal connections: Prevents leaks of fluids (liquids/gases) or heat loss between joined parts.
- Distribute load: Supports the weight of connected equipment to reduce stress on pipes or system components.
Caratteristiche chiave
- Stainless steel construction: Offers excellent corrosion resistance (ideal for wet, chimico, or high-humidity environments).
- Precision machining: Uniform sealing surfaces (e.g., flat face, raised face) ensure tight, leak-free connections.
- Standardized dimensions: Complies with industrial standards (e.g., ANSI, DIN) for universal compatibility.
- Versatile designs: Available in types like slip-on, weld-neck, or blind flanges to fit different installation needs.
Vantaggi
- Durata: Stainless steel resists rust, oxidation, and wear, ensuring long service life (even in harsh conditions).
- Leak-proof performance: Tight sealing (paired with gaskets) minimizes fluid/heat loss, boosting system efficiency.
- Cost-effectiveness: Low maintenance requirements and long lifespan reduce long-term replacement/repair costs.
- Flessibilità: Standardized sizes and multiple types make it adaptable to diverse industrial systems.
Application Scenarios
It is widely used across industries:
- Heating systems: Connects HOT CORE heating elements to tanks, pipes, or process equipment.
- Chemical processing: Joins pipes/valves in corrosive fluid transfer systems.
- Food & beverage production: Seals sanitary equipment (e.g., pasteurizers, mixing tanks) to meet hygiene standards.
- Oil & gas: Connects pipeline sections in high-pressure fluid transfer setups.
- HVAC: Links ductwork, boilers, or heat exchangers in temperature control systems.
Key Attributes
- Material grade: 304/316 acciaio inossidabile (316 for enhanced corrosion resistance in saltwater/chemical environments).
- Pressure rating: Compatible with low to high-pressure systems (e.g., Classe 150 to Class 2500, depending on design).
- Sealing face type: Flat Face (FF), Raised Face (RF), or Ring Type Joint (RTJ) for different sealing needs.
- Size range: Covers standard pipe diameters (e.g., ½” to 24” or larger, custom sizes available).
Summary
The stainless steel flange component is a foundational, high-reliability part for industrial systems: its corrosion-resistant build, leak-proof design, and universal compatibility make it essential for connecting, sigillatura, and maintaining fluid/thermal transfer setups across diverse industries.
