Why is the flange called flange?

Answer:

Flange threaded connection (wire) flange and welding flange. Low pressure small diameter wire connect flange, high pressure and low pressure of large diameter used welding flange, the thickness of the flange and the connection of different pressure bolt diameter and the number is different. According to the different levels of pressure, the flange mat also has different materials, from low pressure asbestos pads, high pressure asbestos pads to metal pads.
Flange connection is easy to use and can withstand greater pressure. In industrial pipelines, flanges are widely used. In the home, the pipe is small in diameter and is low in low pressure, and no flange connection is visible. If you are in a boiler room or a production site, there is a lot of flanged piping and equipment.
The flange Flange connection is an important connection of pipe construction. Flange connection is the two pipes, fittings or equipment, fixed on a flange, a first between the two flanges, plus the flange gasket, bolt fastening together, complete the connection. Some pipes and equipment already have their own flanges, which also belong to flange connection.
