A steel hoop split loose flange is a special type of flange, primarily used for pipe connections. The feature of this flange is that the pipe can be rotated by loosening the bolts, making installation and disassembly convenient. Below are some detailed information about the steel hoop split loose flange:

Structure and Features

Structure:

The loose flange consists of two parts: the pipe section and the flange disc.

The tube section connects to the pipeline at one end, and the other end is formed with a flange or a weld ring.

The flange is partially fitted over the rolled edge or welding ring, secured with bolts.

Features:

Cost-saving: When the material of the pipe is special and expensive, the cost of welding flanges of the same material is high. Loose fit flanges can use flanges made of lower-grade materials, thus saving costs.

Easier for installation: The loose-fitting flange is very convenient when aligning the bolt holes during connection or when there is a need for future equipment replacement, as the bolt hole positions may change.

Not suitable for welding or processing: Applicable to materials such as plastic pipes, glass steel pipes that are not easy to weld or process.

Easy for inspection and cleaning: The loose-type flange is simple to install and dismantle, making it convenient for inspection and cleaning.
