•Chart shows pressure and temperature limitations based on type of
material.
•Pressure-Temperature have an inverse relationship. When pressure
increases, the temperature decreases and vice versa.
Flat Face:
•Flat face flanges are used for mating with nonsteel flanges on pumps
and for mating with 125# and 250# cast iron flanges
•Flat face flanges are generally 150# and 300# steel flanges.
CAST IRON FLANGE BREAKAGE
FACT :
Cast iron flanges are brittle and cracking can occur.
PROBLEM :
Joining steel pipe flange to cast iron flanged valves,
pumps, or other equipment.
SOLUTION :
Always mate flat face steel flange
to flat face cast iron flange.
CAUTION :
Do not over torque bolts.
Cracking is still possible
due to the brittle nature
of cast iron flanges.
Ring Joint
Flange
•More expensive facing $ $ $
•Primarily used in high pressure
and high temperature services.
•Steel ring gasket serves as a seal.
•Only one ring required for each
pair of flanges.
•Disadvantage: Dismantling
requires flanges to be spread apart
to pass the ring for removal. In
tight hook-ups, this could present a
problem.
Types of Flanges:
1. Weld neck • Ring Joint
2. Slip on • Threaded
3. Reducing slip on • Socketweld
4. Lap joint(w/stub end) • Blind
DISADVANTAGE:
Use of the flange under
fatigue conditions are about
one third that of a weld neck.
Slip-On Flange Fitting Chart
PREFERRED INSTALLATION:
Flow coming from small size
to large.
(If flow is opposite, the
smaller end would cause
turbulence or excessive
pressure drop at that point.
This should be avoided
whenever possible)
