2021-11-09

Different structure types have their own applicable scenarios. For example, blind flanges are suitable for pipeline scenarios that need to be closed or communicated; socket flanges are easy to install and disassemble, and are suitable for scenarios that require frequent replacement of pipelines.

1. Select flange according to material

Common materials: including carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel, PVC, PP, PE, etc.

Selection basis: Choose according to the nature of the medium and the use environment. For example, if the medium is acidic, stainless steel flanges are a better choice.

2. Select the flange according to the pressure level

Importance: Pressure rating is an important consideration in flange selection.

Selection method: According to different pressure levels, the size of the connecting bolts and gaskets of the flange will also change. It is necessary to select the appropriate flange according to the specific medium pressure level.

3. Select flange according to temperature

High or low temperature environment: For flanges used in high or low temperature environments, materials and structures that can withstand the corresponding temperatures need to be selected.

Example: For high temperature media, alloy steel flanges are usually a better solution.

4. Select the flange according to the structure type

Common types: including integral flange (IF), threaded flange (Th), plate flat welding flange (PL), neck butt welding flange (WN), neck flat welding flange (SO), socket welding Flange (SW) etc.

Selection basis: Different structure types have their own applicable scenarios. For example, blind flanges are suitable for pipeline scenarios that need to be closed or communicated; socket flanges are easy to install and disassemble, and are suitable for scenarios that require frequent replacement of pipelines.

5. Other matters needing attention

Choose a manufacturer with reliable quality: ensure that the quality of the flange meets relevant national standards and customer requirements.

Carefully review the contract terms: clarify the basic requirements such as flange type, specification, material, quantity, price, etc., and pay attention to payment methods, delivery deadlines and other terms.

Handle cargo transportation properly: Choose a reliable logistics company to ensure the safety of your goods during transportation.

Establish a good cooperative relationship: Establish a good cooperative relationship with suppliers, provide timely feedback on procurement needs, and ensure the common interests of both parties.
