Forged flange is a common connection used in pipeline engineering, it can inject reliable force into the pipeline system. Here are some details about forged flanges: Forging process: Forged flanges are made by heating the metal blank to the right temperature and then applying high pressure to the forging press to change its shape. This process can enhance the strength and durability of the flange. Material selection: Common forged flange materials include carbon steel, alloy steel and stainless steel. Choosing the right material depends on the operating conditions of the pipe (such as temperature, pressure and media) and the required corrosion resistance. Standard specifications: The manufacture of forged flanges usually follows international standards such as ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) or EN (European Standard). These standards specify the size, material, pressure rating and connection of flanges to ensure compatibility with other piping elements. Scope of use: Forged flanges are widely used in pipeline projects in petroleum, chemical, power, heating, shipbuilding and other industries. They can be used to connect pipe elements such as straight pipes, elbows and valves to ensure the safe and reliable operation of pipe systems. Testing and maintenance: In order to ensure the quality and reliability of the forged flange, it is necessary to carry out strict testing, such as non-destructive testing and hardness testing. In addition, regular inspection of flange fastening bolts, leakage prevention and corrosion prevention can extend the service life of the flange. In short, choosing the right forged flange and installing and maintaining it correctly can inject reliable force into the pipeline project to ensure the safe operation and lasting performance of the pipeline system.
