1. Structural Characteristics:Threaded flanges, also known as screwed flanges, feature a unique internal thread structure designed for thread connection with pipes. Unlike welding flanges, they adopt an integral threaded design without welding grooves, featuring a simple and compact structure, small overall volume, and lightweight advantages. This structural design avoids welding deformation and welding stress, ensuring high structural integrity and neat appearance of the flange body.
2. Assembly and Installation Advantages:Threaded flanges support quick assembly and disassembly without welding operation during installation. They can be directly screwed onto the pipe body and fixed with bolts, which greatly simplifies the construction process and shortens the project cycle. This installation method is especially suitable for pipeline scenarios where welding is not allowed, such as flammable, explosive and high-cleanliness working environments, and facilitates later pipeline maintenance, replacement and debugging.
3. Applicable Working Conditions:
This type of flange is widely applicable to low-pressure, normal-temperature and medium-small diameter pipeline systems, including water supply and drainage, gas, oil and general industrial fluid pipelines. Standard threaded flanges conform to ASME B16.5 and GB standard specifications, with stable sealing performance under rated pressure and temperature conditions. They are not recommended for high-pressure, high-temperature and severe vibration pipeline environments to prevent thread loosening and leakage.
4. Material Selection and Performance:Threaded flanges are commonly manufactured from carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel and other metal materials to adapt to different medium environments. Stainless steel threaded flanges excel in corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance, suitable for chemical and marine pipelines; carbon steel threaded flanges have high mechanical strength and cost-effective performance, meeting the requirements of conventional industrial and civil pipeline projects. All materials undergo strict quality inspection to ensure tensile strength and structural stability.
5. Sealing Performance and Application Value:Threaded flanges usually match with gaskets for auxiliary sealing, achieving reliable sealing effect on the flange joint surface. The threaded connection ensures good fitting tightness between the flange and the pipe, effectively preventing medium leakage. Due to their convenient installation, reliable performance and low maintenance cost, threaded flanges are widely used in petrochemical, municipal engineering, mechanical equipment and building pipeline systems, with strong practicality and universality.
