Flanges are crucial components used in piping systems to connect pipes, valves, pumps, and other equipment. They come in various types, each designed for specific applications and operating conditions. Here are some common types of flanges:
Weld Neck Flanges (WN)
Slip-On Flanges (SO):
Socket Weld Flanges (SW):
Blind Flanges (BL):
Lap Joint Flanges (LJ):
These are just some of the common types of flanges. Each type has specific advantages and is chosen based on factors such as pressure rating, temperature, pipe size, and the application’s requirements.
