A steel hoop split loose flange is a special type of flange, primarily used for pipe connections. This flange's feature is that the pipe can be rotated by loosening the bolts, making installation and removal 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 is connected to the pipeline at one end, and the other end is formed with a flange or a welding ring.

The flange is partially fitted over the flanged or welded ring, secured by bolts.

Features:

Cost Savings: When the pipe material is special and expensive, the cost of welding flanges with the same material is high. Loose flange can utilize flange discs made of lower-grade materials, thereby saving costs.

Ease of installation: The loose flange design makes it very convenient during connection, as it avoids the difficulty in aligning bolt holes and prevents any changes in the bolt hole positions when equipment is replaced in the future.

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

Easy for inspection and cleaning: The loose fit flange is easy to install and remove, making it convenient for inspection and cleaning.
