The main functions of flanges include:
Connection: The main function of flanges is to serve as connectors for pipelines or equipment, tightly fixing them together through bolts and nuts.
Sealing: During the connection process, a gasket (such as rubber gasket, metal gasket, etc.) is usually placed between two flange plates to achieve a sealing effect and prevent fluid leakage.
Support: The flange can also provide certain support and fixation for pipelines or equipment.
Convenient maintenance: Due to the relatively easy disassembly of flange connections, it makes maintenance and repair of pipeline systems more convenient.
Adaptability: There are various sizes, pressure levels, and materials for flanges, which can be selected according to different engineering requirements.
