What is a reducing flange?

The definition and structural characteristics of reducing flange
Reducing flange is a type of flange commonly used for pipe connection, which is characterized by different diameters at both ends. Generally speaking, the large port diameter of the reducing flange will not exceed twice the small port diameter, and the material and thickness of the flanges at both ends must be consistent to ensure the reliability and safety of the connection.

Usage scenarios of reducing flange

1. Pipe connection. Reducing flange can connect two pipes of different diameters to make them a smooth whole.

2. Adjust the flow rate. In some scenarios, the flow needs to be adjusted, and the reducing flange becomes a good choice.

3. Pipeline conversion. Reducing flanges can also help complete the conversion when two pipes of different diameters need to be connected.

Precautions for reducing flange

1. Choose the material correctly. Because a certain amount of stress will be generated at the reducing flange connection, the material needs to be correctly selected to ensure strength and corrosion resistance.

2. Operate strictly in accordance with the standards. Reducing flanges should be made in accordance with national standards and must be operated in strict accordance with standard requirements.

3. Pay attention to the sealing between flanges. Since the two ports of the reducing flange have different diameters, attention must be paid to the sealing between the two flanges during installation.

Reducing flange FAQs

1. How to choose the material for reducing flange?

When selecting materials, factors such as pressure level, medium properties, temperature, and sealing methods need to be considered.

2. What should you pay attention to when connecting flanges with different diameters?

It is necessary to pay attention to issues such as the tightness of the flange and the sealing between flanges.

3. How to ensure the safety of reducing flange?

Correctly selecting materials, operating according to standards, paying attention to sealing between flanges and other measures can ensure the safety of reducing flanges.

In short, reducing flange is a commonly used pipe connection. It is necessary to pay attention to issues such as material selection, standard operation and sealing between flanges to ensure the reliability and safety of the connection.
