Abstract In the operation of oil and gas pipelines, flanges and bolts are often damaged by metal corrosion, which seriously affects their overall safety. Six mainstream anti-corrosion systems and their basic construction methods at home and abroad are introduced and analyzed, and their advantages...
A flange is a commonly used component in the pipeline. When a flange is connected to the pipeline, the welding is often adopted. However, if welding is not done properly, it will cause cracks between the flange and stainless steel pipe. Then, why do cracks appear for a flange in the welding process?...
Sealing and leakage of bolted flanges In the past, people thought of the bolted flange connection being completely sealed or no leakage at the joint as that the pre-tightening pressure force on the gasket in the pre-tightened state cannot be less than the pre-tightened seal specific pressure y of the...
Flanges should not only meet the requirements for strength but also leakage rates when working. In addition, they should also have characteristics of convenient assembly and disassembly, low economic costs and good interchangeability. As shown in the Figure 1-1, the bolted flange...
A butt welding flange is a kind of pipe fitting, which connects to the pipe. A butt welding flange is not easy to deform, has good sealing performance and wide applications. It is suitable for pipelines with large fluctuations in pressure or temperature as well as high-temperature, high-pressure...
Generally, pipe flanges are only used for connecting flanged valves, instruments and equipment. Except the equipment that needs to be disassembled during maintenance, others had better not be connected with flanges. Excessive use of flanges will increase the possibility of leakage...
Large-diameter flanges are widely used in machinery, chemical industry, wind power, sewage treatment and other industries, and are well received and favored by users. Large-diameter flanges are widely used. The production technology of large flange is divided into rolling and forging. Extra large flanges...
The production techniques of flanges fall into four major types: forging, casting, cutting, rolling. Cast Flange Pros: Precise, sophisticated shape and size light workload low cost Cons: Defects such as...
The basic contact faces of flanges are flat faces, raised faces, male faces, female faces, tongue faces, groove faces and RTJ faces. The selection of contact faces of flanges is different based on working conditions, media, pressure, specifications, temperatures and other conditions. Let's...
