Threaded Flanges
A Threaded Flange is a type of flange that has internal threads machined into its bore, allowing it to be screwed onto the threaded end of a pipe or fitting. These flanges are commonly used in piping systems where easy assembly and disassembly are required, such as in low-pressure applications or where frequent maintenance is necessary. They provide a secure connection between pipes or fittings and can be easily tightened or loosened using standard tools like wrenches. Threaded flanges are available in various sizes and pressure ratings to suit different piping requirements
Key Features of Threaded Flanges
Threaded Flanges offer a convenient and cost-effective solution for joining pipes and fittings in a wide range of industrial, commercial, and residential applications
- Ease of Installation : Threaded flanges are easy to install and require minimal tools. They can be quickly screwed onto the threaded end of a pipe or fitting without the need for welding.
- Versatility : These flanges can be used in a wide range of piping systems, including low-pressure and non-critical applications. They are available in various sizes and pressure ratings to accommodate different requirements.
- Accessibility : Threaded connections allow for easy disassembly and reassembly, making maintenance and repairs more convenient. This feature is particularly beneficial in systems where frequent access is necessary.
- Cost-Effective : Compared to welded flanges, threaded flanges typically have lower installation costs since they don't require welding equipment or skilled labor for installation.
- Pressure Rating : Threaded flanges are available with different pressure ratings, allowing them to be used in systems with varying pressure requirements. It's essential to select the appropriate pressure rating for the specific application to ensure safety and reliability.
- Material Compatibility : Threaded flanges can be manufactured from various materials such as stainless steel, carbon steel, Exotic steel, or alloy steel, providing flexibility to meet the demands of different operating conditions and environments.
- Leak Tightness : When properly installed and tightened, threaded flanges provide a secure and leak-tight connection, minimizing the risk of fluid or gas leakage in the piping system.
- Thread Protection : Some threaded flanges come with protective coatings or sealants on the threads to prevent corrosion and ensure a tight seal during installation
