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 removal easier. 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 pipe at one end, and the other end is formed with a flange or a welding ring.

The flange is partially mounted on the rolled edge or weld ring, secured with bolts.

Features:

Cost Savings: When pipe materials are special and expensive, welding flanges of the same material can be costly. Loose-bolt flanges can utilize lower-grade flanges, thereby saving costs.

Ease of installation: The loose-type flange is very convenient during connection, as it allows for easy alignment of the bolt holes and prevents any 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, glass steel pipes, etc.

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