Steel hoop flange split loose flange is a special type of flange, primarily used for pipeline connections. The feature of this flange is that the pipeline can be rotated by loosening the bolts, which facilitates installation and disassembly. Below are some detailed information about steel hoop flange 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 flange or welding ring, secured with bolts.

Features:

Cost-saving: When the pipe material is special and expensive, welding flanges of the same material incurs high costs. Loose flange can utilize lower-grade flange discs, 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 any changes in the bolt hole positions for future equipment replacement.

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 flange installation is simple, and disassembly is convenient, making it easy for inspection and cleaning.
