Correct installation method of stainless steel flange

1. Stainless steel flanges should be sufficiently strong and should not deform during tightening. The flange sealing surface should be flat and clean, and oil and rust stains should be carefully removed during installation.

2. The gasket should have excellent oil and aging resistance, as well as good elasticity and mechanical strength. When installing stainless steel flanges, gaskets of different cross-sections and sizes should be selected according to the shape of the joint and properly positioned.

3. The tightening force of the stainless steel flange should be uniform, and the gasket compression should be controlled to approximately 1/3. Furthermore, the stainless steel flanges were used according to normal methods and principles in actual use, ensuring their quality and value. They were used and installed according to normal operating standards, and no quality or performance issues occurred.

Stainless steel flanges are not simple mechanical components in the conventional sense. Instead, they are mechanical products with rich technical content and are used in a wide range of equipment manufacturing processes. Stainless steel flanges are disc-shaped components, most commonly used in plumbing. They are typically used in pairs. Any connection between two flat surfaces, bolted together and sealed at the perimeter, is generally called a "flange." For example, a ventilation duct connection is considered a "flange-type component." However, if this connection is only part of a device, such as a flange connecting a pump, it's not appropriate to call the pump a "flange-type component." Smaller components, such as valves, can be considered "flange-type components." In plumbing, stainless steel flanges are primarily used for connecting pipes. A flange is installed where the pipes need to be connected. Low-pressure pipes can use threaded flanges, while pressures above 4 kg use welded flanges. A sealing point is added between the two flanges, and then bolts are used to secure them. Flanges for different pressures have different thicknesses and use different bolts. When connecting pumps and valves to pipes, these components are also manufactured with corresponding flange shapes, also known as flange connections.
