Flange connections involve fixing two pipes, fittings, or equipment to separate flange disks first, then placing a flange gasket between the disks and securing them together with bolts to complete the connection. Some fittings and equipment come with flange disks already attached, which also fall under flange connections. Flange connections are a crucial method in pipeline construction. They are convenient to use and can withstand high pressure. In industrial pipelines and residential settings, where pipe diameters are small and the pressure is low, flange connections are not visible. However, in boiler rooms or production sites, you'll find flange connections on pipes and equipment everywhere.
The types of flange connections, categorized by their connection methods, include: flat welding flanges, socket welding flanges, blind flanges, threaded flanges, flange covers, loose fit socket welding flanges with neck, flat welding loose fit flanges, ring groove flanges, and flange covers, large diameter flat flanges, large diameter high-neck flanges, winged blind flanges, and socket welding loose fit flanges.
