What are the uses of stainless steel flanges

Stainless steel flanges are disk shaped parts, which are common in pipeline engineering. Flanges are used in pairs. In pipeline engineering, stainless steel flanges are mainly used for the connection of pipelines. For the pipes to be connected, a flange plate shall be installed for each type. Screw flanges can be used for low pressure pipes, and welding flanges can be used for pipes with a pressure of more than 4 kg. Add sealing points between the two flanges and fasten them with bolts. Flanges with different pressures have different thicknesses and use different bolts. When pumps and valves are connected with pipes, parts of these equipment are also made into corresponding flange shapes, also known as flange connection. All connecting parts that are bolted on the periphery of two planes and closed at the same time are generally called "flanges", such as the connection of ventilation pipes. Such parts can be called "flange parts". However, this connection is only a part of the equipment, such as the connection between the flange and the water pump, so it is not good to call the water pump a "flange part". Smaller, such as valves, can be called "flange parts"

The main purposes are:

1. Connect the pipeline and maintain its sealing performance

2. It is convenient to replace a section of pipeline

3. It is convenient to disassemble and inspect the pipeline

4. It is convenient to close a section of pipeline
