What Are the Different Types of Steel Pipe Flanges Available in Malaysia?
There are many different types of steel pipe flanges. While in Malaysia, several types of steel pipe flanges are commonly found:
Weld Neck Flanges: Weld neck flanges are known for their high strength and durability. They are typically used in high-pressure and high-temperature applications in industries like oil and gas. The long tapered hub of the weld neck flange makes it ideal for withstanding heavy loads and providing a secure connection.
Slip-on Flanges: Slip-on flanges are easy to install and are suitable for low-pressure applications. They slip over the pipe and are then welded in place. Slip-on flanges are commonly used in plumbing and general industrial piping systems.
Blind Flanges: Blind flanges are used to seal the end of a pipe or pressure vessel. They have no bore and provide a reliable closure. Blind flanges are essential in maintenance and testing operations where the pipe system needs to be isolated.
Socket Weld Flanges: Socket weld flanges are designed for small diameter pipes and are welded both inside and outside the socket. They offer a strong and leak-proof connection and are often used in applications where space is limited.
Threaded Flanges: Threaded Flanges are connected to the pipe by threading. They are convenient for smaller pipes and applications where quick assembly and disassembly are required. However, they are not suitable for high-pressure applications.
