A steel hoop flanged loose-bolted flange is a special type of flange, mainly used for pipe connections. The feature of this flange is that the pipe can be rotated by loosening the bolts, which facilitates installation and disassembly. Below are some detailed information about the steel hoop flanged loose-bolted flange.

Structure and Features

Structure:

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

The tube section is connected to the pipeline at one end and features a flange or a weld ring at the other.

The flange is partially mounted on the flange or weld ring, secured by bolts.

Features:

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

Ease of Installation: The loose-type flange is very convenient during connection, as it eliminates the difficulty in aligning the bolt holes and prevents changes in the bolt hole positions when replacing equipment 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 to inspect and clean: The loose flange installation is simple and removal is convenient, making it easy for inspection and cleaning.
