Flangesamlinger

Flangesamlinger, often referred to as flange connections, are a critical component in piping systems used to join two pipes, a pipe to a valve, or a pipe to a piece of equipment. They are designed to create a leak-tight seal and allow for disassembly and reassembly of the piping system.

A typical flangesamling consists of several key parts: two flanges, a gasket, and fasteners such as bolts and nuts. The flanges are usually welded or threaded onto the ends of the pipes or equipment. They have a raised face or a flat face that provides a surface for the gasket to seal against. The gasket, made from various materials like rubber, PTFE, or metal, is placed between the mating faces of the two flanges. The bolts and nuts are then used to draw the flanges together, compressing the gasket and creating a secure joint.

The design and selection of a flangesamling depend on various factors, including the pressure and temperature of the fluid being conveyed, the type of fluid, and environmental conditions. Different types of flanges exist, such as weld neck, slip-on, threaded, and socket weld, each with its own advantages and applications. Standards organizations like ASME and DIN provide guidelines and specifications for the design, manufacturing, and installation of flangesamlinger to ensure safety and reliability. Proper installation and maintenance of flangesamlinger are essential to prevent leaks and ensure the integrity of the entire piping system.
