Loose Flanges

Loose Flanges

  • Description

Loose flanges are usually used with loose flange nipples. Loose flanges in carbon steel or low alloy steel piping systems are best used where frequent disassembly for inspection and cleaning is required. Loose flanges should be avoided in locations where severe bending stresses occur.

 

Kingrail Parts is a Chinese flange manufacturer, we offer loose flanges in a variety of materials to meet customers' special needs, including different sizes, different specifications, different pressures, and different surface treatments.

Applications of loose flanges (loose flanges)

Natural gas, chemical industry, petroleum, shipbuilding, ocean, papermaking, metallurgy, electricity, power, boilers, etc.

 

Maintenance

The maintenance of fixed flanges is more difficult than that of loose flanges, as any repair work requires complete disassembly. On the other hand, loose flanges are easy to disassemble, so repairs are relatively easy and less time-consuming. Regular maintenance is necessary to ensure the normal operation of both flanges and avoid system failures.
