Stainless flanges – specialized products that have the shape of flat disks or rings with holes that are designed for fastening using bolt compounds. They are simply indispensable when it is required to provide a strong and sealed connection of reinforcement or pipes in construction. In addition, with their help, there are often compounds of rotating parts among themselves. As many years of practice has shown, stainless steel flanges are characterized by ease of installation and dismantling, and also provide maximum strength and tightness.
Of all the types of flanges, it is stainless steel flanges that are in greater demand, because they are not afraid of corrosion, which means they have an increased service life. That is why, if it is necessary to create strong and hermetic compounds, the flanges stainless GOST 12820 80 have gained great recognition and the most widespread. They are mainly used to combine pipelines made of stainless pipes. In this case, a reliable and durable connection is ensured, which is most likely not destroyed over many years of operation.
Depending on the form, such flanges are flat and collar. They differ among themselves not only in form, but also by the method of attachment to the pipe. Accordingly, the conditions of their operation are also distinguished. Collaboration flanges made of stainless steel are used in pipelines with a high level of pressure, flat – in pipelines with low working pressure. The fact is that a special gate in the form of a cone in the collar flanges allows you to achieve a higher reliability of the connection. Also, we must not forget about the threaded flanges equipped with threads, but to connect the parts of the pipelines, they are not suitable.
