Class 150 Pipe Flanges
Class 150 pipe flanges are standardized components used to connect pipes, valves, pumps, and other equipment to form a piping system. They are designed to handle specific pressure and temperature ratings.
Types of Pipe Flanges
• Weld Neck Flanges: Known for their long, tapered hub, these flanges are ideal for high-pressure and high-temperature applications. They provide a strong connection and reduce stress concentrations.
• Slip-On Flanges: Easy to install, these flanges are slipped over the pipe and welded in place. They are suitable for low to medium-pressure systems.
• Blind Flanges: Used to seal the end of a piping system or vessel, these flanges are essential for isolating sections of a system for maintenance.
• Threaded Flanges: These flanges have internal threads and can be screwed onto the pipe without welding, making them ideal for low-pressure applications and systems requiring frequent disassembly.
• Socket Weld Flanges: Designed for small-diameter, high-pressure pipes, these flanges have a socket into which the pipe is inserted and then welded.
• Lap Joint Flanges: Used with stub ends, these flanges are ideal for systems requiring frequent dismantling for inspection and cleaning.
