Brass Flange for Immersion Heating Element
1. Uses & Functions
It’s a mounting & sealing component for immersion heating tubes (e.g., electric heating rods). Its core roles are:
- Fixing heating elements in tanks/vessels (via threaded or flange connection);
- Sealing the opening of the container to prevent leakage of liquid/gas media;
- Transferring heat (brass material enhances thermal conductivity between the heater and the medium).
2. Features
- Material: Made of brass (excellent thermal conductivity + corrosion resistance);
- Structure: Hexagonal shape (easy to install with wrenches) + multiple holes (for heating tube insertion);
- Connection: Threaded design (compatible with standard tank openings like DN40/DN50).
3. Advantages
- High Thermal Efficiency: Brass conducts heat 3x faster than stainless steel, improving heating speed;
- Leak-Proof Sealing: Tight thread/flange fit prevents medium leakage in pressurized tanks;
- Durability: Brass resists rust and chemical corrosion (suitable for water/oil/weak corrosive media);
- Easy Installation: Hexagonal shape allows quick manual tightening (no complex tools needed).
4. Key Attributes
- Material Grade: H62/H65 brass (high purity, stable performance);
- Thread Size: Common DN40 (47mm) / DN50 (58mm) (matches standard tank openings);
- Working Temperature: -20℃ ~ +200℃ (adaptable to most liquid heating scenarios);
- Pressure Rating: ≤1.6MPa (suitable for low-pressure vessels like water tanks/oil tanks).
5. Application Scenarios
- Domestic Appliances: Electric water heaters, coffee machines, dishwashers (seal & fix heating rods);
- Industrial Equipment: Water tanks, oil tanks, solar auxiliary heaters, reaction kettles (heat liquids/gases);
- Commercial Facilities: Electric boilers, swimming pool heaters, food processing cleaning tanks (medium heating & insulation).
This brass flange is a cost-effective, reliable accessory for immersion heating systems, balancing thermal performance and ease of use.
