COMMON FLANGE TYPES - UMUR ÇELİK

Flanges are important connecting elements used to connect pipes, valves, pumps and other equipment in piping systems. Different types of flanges are designed to meet specific needs in various applications. Here are common flange types and their areas of use:

Welding Neck Flange:

Area of ​​Use: High pressure and temperature applications.

Features: It has a long neck and is connected to the pipe by welding. This structure allows the flange to distribute the stress evenly across the pipe and increases fatigue life.
Slip-On Flange:

Area of ​​Use: Low pressure applications.
Features: The pipe is passed through the flange and welded both inside and outside. It is easy to install and economical, but it is less durable than welded neck flanges.
Blind Flange:

Area of ​​Use: To close the pipe ends or stop the flow.
Features: It is completely closed and used to stop the flow in the system. It is also ideal for maintaining and repairing systems.
Socket Weld Flange:

Area of ​​Use: Small-sized high-pressure pipe systems.
Features: The pipe is placed in the socket inside the flange and then welded. This structure provides a strong and leak-proof connection.
Lap Joint Flange:

Area of ​​Use: Places that require frequent disassembly and assembly.
Features: Used with pipe and fitting. The flange itself is not welded to the pipe, which makes it easily removable and reusable.
Grooved Flange:

Area of ​​Use: Systems that cannot be welded or low-pressure systems.
Features: Mounted by screwing onto the pipe. Assembly and disassembly are easy and do not require special equipment.
These flange types are designed to meet various requirements in different industrial applications. Each flange type should be selected according to specific pressure, temperature and assembly needs.
