[Stainless Steel Hose] What Are The General Roles of Flanges In Mechanical Design
Flange is a disc-shaped part, common in pipeline engineering, flanges are used in pairs. In pipeline engineering, flanges are mainly used for connection of pipelines. In the pipelines that need to be connected, install a piece of flange, low-pressure pipelines can use wire flanges, and welding flanges for pressures above 4 kg. Add sealing points between the two flanges, and then tighten with bolts. Different pressure flanges have different thicknesses and use different bolts.
When the vacuum pump and valve are connected to the pipeline, some parts of these equipments are also made into corresponding flange shapes, also called flange connection. All the connecting parts that are connected at the same time by using bolts on the two planes at the periphery are generally called “flanges”, such as the connection of ventilation ducts, this type of parts can be called “flange parts”. However, this connection is only a part of the equipment, such as the connection between the flange and the water pump, it is not easy to call the water pump “flange parts”. Smaller ones, such as valves, can be called “flange parts”.
