The main characteristics of steel strip flanges can be summarized as follows:
1. Structural characteristics
Composition structure: Steel strip flanges are usually composed of two flange plates and one steel strip. There are bolt holes on the flange for connecting with pipelines or other flanges; The steel strip is located between two flanges, which enhances the connection strength and sealing performance.
Lightweight and flexible: Compared to other types of flanges, steel strip flanges are usually lighter and easier to handle and install. At the same time, its structure is relatively flexible and can adapt to the connection requirements of different pipeline diameters and wall thicknesses.
2. Installation features
Easy installation: The installation process of steel strip flanges is relatively simple and fast. Simply align the two flanges with the pipe ports, insert the bolts and tighten the nuts to complete the connection. This installation method not only saves time but also reduces installation costs.
Adjustable: During installation, the steel strip part of the steel strip flange can be adjusted as needed to ensure a tight fit between the flange and the pipeline. This adjustability enables the steel strip flange to adapt to installation errors and deformations of different pipelines.
3. Sealing characteristics
Good sealing: The steel strip flange is tightened by bolts to tightly fit the two flanges together, forming an effective sealing surface. At the same time, the steel strip can also enhance the sealing performance and prevent fluid leakage.
Corrosion resistance: Steel strip flanges are usually made of galvanized steel strip or stainless steel strip, which has good corrosion resistance. This enables the steel strip flange to maintain stable sealing performance even in harsh environments such as humidity and corrosive media.
4. Bearing characteristics
Strong bearing capacity: Steel strip flanges have high bearing capacity and can withstand large pressures and loads. This makes the steel strip flange suitable for conveying systems with various high-pressure, high-temperature, or corrosive media.
Good stability: The structural design of the steel strip flange gives it good stability. During the operation of the pipeline, the steel strip flange can maintain a stable connection state and is not easily loosened or deformed.
5. Economic characteristics
Low cost: Compared to other types of flanges, the manufacturing cost of steel strip flanges is usually lower. This gives the steel strip flange a price advantage and is suitable for cost sensitive projects.
Reusable: In some cases, steel strip flanges can be disassembled and reused. This reusability further reduces usage costs and improves resource utilization.
