Types of Flange Based on ANSI

Types of Flange Based on ANSI - Flange is a component used to connect pipe to pipe or pipe to valve or with other components. The use of a flange can facilitate pipe connection because by using a flange, pipe connection can be done using only bolts and nuts as fasteners. There are many types of flange that are currently used, one of which is the type of flange based on ANSI (American National Standards Institute). The following are the types of flanges based on ANSI (American National Standards Institute).

Socket Flange

Socket flanges are flanges that have resistance on the outside. This resistance serves to hold the pipe inserted into it so that it does not penetrate to the outside.

Slip on flanges

Slip on flanges are flanges with an inner diameter greater than the outer diameter of the pipe. The flange is only partially inserted then the outside and the inside are welded. The use of slip on flange is expected to be durable and there are no gaps between pipe connections.

Lap Joint Flanges

Lap joint flanges are flanges whose bolt holes can be rotated. Lap joint flange and slip on flange have almost the same function. The lap joint flange is recommended not to be used for high pressure.

Weldneck Flanges

Weldneck flanges are flanges that are good for use at low and high pressures and temperatures. Weldneck flange has properties that are easy to connect so that this type of flange is the most widely used flange.

Threaded Flanges

Threaded flanges are flanges that have threads in their inner diameter. This thread is used to function for fastening the flange with the pipe (connection of the pipe and flange using threads). Threaded flanges are widely used in systems that are prone to fire when welded.

Blind Flanges

Blind flanges are flanges that do not have holes because blind flanges are used to close the flow of fluid in the pipe. In other words, this flange is the end of the fluid flow in the pipe so that the blind flange will receive a higher pressure than other types of flange.

Reducing Flanges

Reducing flange is a flange used to connect pipes of different diameters.

That is the type of flange that can be conveyed on this occasion, hopefully it will be useful.
