Carbon Steel Flanges
Steel flanges are discs of steel which have been forged or cast in such a way as to mechanically connect sections of pipes or join pipes to a pressure vessel, valve or any other equipment. Carbon steel flanges are especially tough because carbon is added to them. They make cleaning, inspection or modification easier due to better accessibility. Flanges are usually round in shape but they can also be rectangular or square in shape. Bolting is used to join the flanges to each other and by welding or threading to the piping systems. The flanges are designed to tolerate specific pressures like 150 lb, 300lb, 400lb, 600lb and higher pressures.
Uses of Carbon Steel Flanges
A flange can also be used as a plate for covering or closing the end of a pipe. These types of flanges are known as blind flanges. In this way, flanges are considered to be internal components which are used to support mechanical parts. Apart from carbon steel flanges are also made in different materials like alloy steel, stainless/duplex steel, nickel alloys/superalloys and titanium. The material of the flanges is selected according to the function they are supposed to perform in the mechanical systems. The main type of flanges are the welding neck, long welding neck, slip-on, socket weld, lap joint, threaded and blind flanges. These are the standard flanges but apart from these there are the special ones like weldoflange/nipoflange, elboflange, swivel flange, expander/reducer flange and orifice flange. All these flanges are used for different purposes and the person utilizing them has to be certain of the type of flange required for their task.Prominent & Leading Wholesale Distributor from Kolkata, we offer Carbon Steel Flanges, Carbon Steel Socket Weld Flanges and Carbon Steel Threaded Flange.
