Torque Tightening for flange
Torque Tightening To obtain a leak-free flange connection, a proper gasket installation is needed, the bolts must be assign on the correct bolt tension, and the total bolt strength must be evenly divided over the whole flange face. With Torque Tightening (the application of preload to a fasten...Read more -
Flanges Gaskets & Bolts
Flanges Gaskets & Bolts Gaskets To realize a leak-free flange connection gaskets are necessary. Gaskets are compressible sheets or rings used to make a fluid-resistant seal between two surfaces. Gaskets are built to operate under extreme temperature and pressures and are available in a wide ...Read more -
Flange Face Finish
Flange Face Finish Flange face finish The ASME B16.5 code requires that the flange face (raised face and flat face) has a specific roughness to ensure that this surface be compatible with the gasket and provide a high quality seal. A serrated finish, either concentric or spiral, is required wi...Read more -
Flange Faces
Flange Faces What is a Flange face? Different types of flange faces are used as the contact surfaces to seat the sealing gasket material. ASME B16.5 and B16.47 define various types of flange facings, including the raised face, the large male and female facings which have identical dimensions to...Read more -
Types of Flanges
Types of Flanges Flange types As already described before, the most used flange types ASME B16.5 are: Welding Neck, Slip On, Socket Weld, Lap Joint, Threaded and Blind flange. Below you will find a short description and definition of each type, completed with an detailed image. Most common flang...Read more -
Pressure Classes of Flanges
Pressure Classes of Flanges Forged steel flanges ASME B16.5 are made in seven primary Pressure Classes: 150 300 400 600 900 1500 2500 The concept of flange ratings likes clearly. A Class 300 flange can handle more pressure than a Class 150 flange, because a Class 300 flange are co...Read more
