The importance of the flange protector

    The flange protector is a kind of protection flange. After the flange is installed, if the connected pipe or some items that need to be flanged are not flanged, there will be many problems. If the flange is installed, If there is no flange protection sleeve on the top, then the flange will be subject to external factors such as friction during use, which will cause damage to the flange and affect the life.

Common causes of flange leakage

1. The flange face is too dirty or damaged. Dirty, scratches, scratches, protrusions, slag, and curved seat surfaces on the gasket cover provide a leak path or cause uneven compression of the gasket, resulting in flange leakage, which is not flanged. Set of results.

2. The bolt stress is not uniform. Improper fastening/assembly procedures or difficulty in touching the fasteners can loosen some of the bolts, while others are over-tightened, causing the gasket to crush. This can lead to leakage during work, especially when heavy loads are loose during high temperature operation.

3. The flanges are not properly aligned, especially if the flange faces are not parallel, resulting in uneven compression of the gasket and partial crushing, which can lead to subsequent leaks. Failure to properly align the flange centerline can also result in uneven gasket compression and flange leakage.

4. The piping system at the flange location is overloaded. Excessive force and bending can cause loose bolts or distortion of the flange, resulting in leakage.

    The above is the reason why the flange will leak, which is enough to illustrate the important role of the flange protection cover. It can well avoid the protection of the human body caused by some leaks when the flange is connected, so Be sure to install the flange sleeve when installing the flange.
