FAQ

  • High strength, suitable for high pressure and high temperature environments.
  • Welded connection reduces stress concentration, extending the service life.
  • Easy to perform non-destructive testing (e.g., radiographic testing).
  • Raised Face (RF): Suitable for general conditions.
  • Flat Face (FF): Used for low pressure and non-critical applications.
  • Ring Type Joint (RTJ): Used for high-pressure and high-temperature conditions.
  • Ensure proper alignment of the pipe and flange to avoid stress concentration.
  • Use appropriate gaskets and bolts, tightening them to the specified torque.
  • Perform leak tests to ensure sealing integrity.
  • Regularly check the fastening condition of the flange and bolts.
  • Inspect the sealing face for any damage or corrosion.
  • In corrosive environments, replace gaskets and bolts periodically.
  •  Yes, but it is important to ensure that the customized flange meets the strength and sealing requirements of the ASME B16.5 standard and to provide the relevant inspection reports.
