Plate Flange is a connection component widely used in pipeline systems.

1. Structure and Design

The structure of Plate Flange is relatively simple and direct. It is a flat circular or square metal plate with a hole in the middle for medium circulation. Bolt holes are evenly distributed on its circumference or specific position, and it is connected to another flange or pipe fitting by bolts. This simple structure makes it easy to manufacture and low cost. It can produce products of corresponding specifications according to different pipe size requirements, and can be used for connections from smaller diameter pipes to larger diameter pipes.

2. Material Diversity

Plate Flange can be made of a variety of materials. Common ones are carbon steel materials, which have high strength and good toughness. They can withstand a certain amount of pressure and are suitable for general industrial pipelines and civil pipeline systems, such as the connection of building water supply and drainage pipelines. Plate Flange made of stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance and is favored in industries with high requirements for hygiene and corrosion resistance, such as chemical, food processing, and pharmaceutical industries. In addition, there are some special materials such as alloy steel, which can be used in pipeline systems for high temperature, high pressure or special medium transmission.

3. Sealing performance

Although the structure of Plate Flange is relatively simple, it also has good performance in sealing. With suitable sealing gaskets, such as rubber gaskets, asbestos gaskets or metal spiral wound gaskets, it can effectively prevent the leakage of the medium in the pipeline. In low-pressure to medium-pressure pipeline systems, as long as the sealing gaskets are correctly installed and selected, Plate Flange can ensure the sealing of pipeline connections and ensure the stable transmission of media.

4. Wide range of application fields

In the industrial field, such as the construction of pipeline networks in petrochemical, electric power, metallurgy and other industries, Plate Flange is an indispensable connection element. In the construction of urban infrastructure, including urban water supply, gas supply, heating and other pipeline systems, Plate Flange is also widely used, which provides a reliable connection solution for the efficient and safe operation of these pipeline systems.
