The bearing capacity calculation of forged flanges usually needs to consider the following factors: Material strength: First of all, it is necessary to understand the material type and material strength of the forged flanges used. According to the material’s mechanical properties data, such as yield strength, tensile strength, etc., the maximum carrying capacity of the material can be determined. Flange form: Different forms of forged flanges (such as welding neck flanges, sliding flanges, blind flanges, etc.) will also differ in carrying capacity, so it is necessary to consider the specific form of the flange. Flange standard: According to the relevant standards of the forged flange used, understand its rated pressure, rated temperature and other parameters. According to the formula provided by the standard or the specified calculation method, the bearing capacity of the flange can be calculated. Fixing method: The bearing capacity of the forged flange is also related to its fixing method. For example, the bearing capacity of the bolt fastening flange needs to consider factors such as the design strength and fastening force of the bolt. Taking these factors into account, and referring to the design manual of the forged flange, standard specifications or related engineering guidelines, the bearing capacity can be calculated and evaluated. It should be noted that in order to ensure safety and reliability, it is recommended that professional engineers or experts in related fields perform specific calculations and designs.
