FLANGE TYPES

Flanges used in industrial piping systems are used to connect and seal pipes, valves, pumps and other equipment. Here are some commonly used flange types:

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 allows the stress to be distributed evenly across the pipe.
Slip-On Flange:

Area of ​​Use: Low pressure applications.
Features: The pipe is passed through the flange and welded both inside and outside. Easy to install.
Blind Flange:

Area of ​​Use: Used to close the pipe ends.
Features: Ideal for stopping flow or maintaining pipe systems. Can be used at various pressure levels.
Socket Weld Flange:

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

Area of ​​Use: In places where frequent disassembly and assembly is required.
Features: Used with pipe and fitting. The flange itself is not directly welded, which makes it easier to reuse.
Threaded Flange:

Area of ​​Use: In cases where welding is not possible or in low-pressure systems.
Features: Mounted by screwing onto the pipe. This facilitates assembly and disassembly.
These flange types are designed to meet different needs in various industrial applications. Each should be selected according to specific pressure, temperature and assembly requirements.
