Threaded Flanges

What Are Threaded Flanges?

Threaded flanges, also known as screwed flanges, are designed with threads that match the male threads on the pipe. This design allows the flange to be screwed directly onto the pipe, eliminating the need for welding. They are commonly used in applications where high temperatures or explosive environments make welding impractical.

Key Features and Advantages

Ease of Installation

  • Screw-on design simplifies assembly without welding.
  • Ideal for quick and temporary installations.

Cost-Effective Solution

  • Reduces labor and equipment costs associated with welding.
  • Suitable for low-pressure systems and small-diameter pipes.

Flexibility

  • Can be reused and easily disassembled for maintenance.
  • Suitable for applications requiring frequent adjustments.

Types of Threaded Flanges

Raised Face (RF) Threaded Flanges

  • Raised gasket surface ensures a tight seal.
  • Commonly used in chemical and petrochemical industries.

Flat Face (FF) Threaded Flanges

  • Flat gasket surface for full-face contact.
  • Ideal for low-pressure applications.

Ring-Type Joint (RTJ) Threaded Flanges

  • Includes a groove for a metal ring gasket, ensuring a leak-proof seal.
  • Preferred for high-pressure and high-temperature systems.

Applications Across Industries

Oil and Gas

  • Suitable for small-diameter pipelines in upstream and downstream operations.
  • Ideal for explosive environments where welding is not feasible.

Chemical Processing

  • Used in systems handling non-corrosive and low-pressure fluids.
  • Ensures secure and leak-proof connections.

Water Treatment

  • Common in municipal water systems and low-pressure pipelines.
  • Used in industrial water flow management systems.

HVAC Systems

  • Ideal for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning applications.
  • Provides reliable connections for low-pressure air and water systems.

Food and Pharmaceutical Industries

  • Stainless steel variants ensure hygiene and safety.
  • Suitable for high-purity applications requiring easy maintenance.

Material Options and Standards

Material Choices
