FAQ

  •  Class 300 indicates that the flange has a maximum allowable working pressure of 300 pounds per square inch (psi) at a specific temperature.
  • A Weld Neck Flange has a long neck for welding, providing better strength and sealing performance, making it suitable for high-pressure and high-temperature environments.
  • The choice of facing type depends on application requirements. Raised Face (RF) is suitable for most applications, Flat Face (FF) for low-pressure applications, and Ring-Type Joint (RTJ) for high-pressure applications.
  • Material selection affects the flange’s corrosion resistance, strength, and temperature range. Choose the appropriate material based on the chemical properties of the medium and operating conditions.
  • During installation, ensure the flange is aligned with the pipe, follow standard welding procedures to ensure weld quality, and conduct pressure testing after installation to ensure sealing performance.
  • Regularly inspect the tightness of bolts, the condition of the facing, and signs of corrosion. Replace damaged components promptly to ensure the safe operation of the system.
