Fluorine-lined Flange Cover

Flange, also known as a flange disc or rim, is a component used for connecting shafts or for joining pipe ends. It is also used at equipment inlets and outlets, such as reducer flanges, for connecting two devices. A flange connection or flange joint refers to a removable connection consisting of a flange, a gasket, and bolts, forming a combined sealing structure. Pipe flanges are the flanges used for piping in pipeline installations, or for equipment inlets and outlets on equipment. Flanges have holes, and bolts secure the two flanges together. They are sealed with a gasket. Flanges come in threaded (screwed) connections,焊接 (welded) flanges, and clamp flanges. Flanges are used in pairs; low-pressure pipelines can use threaded flanges, while those above 4 kg pressure use焊接 flanges. Two flange discs are fitted with a sealing pad and then secured with bolts. Flanges of different pressures have different thicknesses and require different bolts. In the case of pumps and valves, when connected to pipelines, these equipment components are also made in corresponding flange shapes, known as flange connections. Any connection piece that uses bolts to connect two flat surfaces around the perimeter and is sealed is generally called a "flange," such as the connection of ventilation pipes. Such components can be referred to as "flange-type parts." However, this type of connection is only a part of a device, such as the connection between a flange and a pump, so it's not appropriate to call the pump a "flange-type part." Smaller components like valves can be called "flange-type parts."
