FLANGES
Fl i i t d f ti iFlanges are piping components used for connecting pipes which needs dismantling & periodic maintenance, other piping components like valves, specialties, instrument items like orifice, flow meters etc on to the pipes.
A flanged joint is composed of three separate & independentA flanged joint is composed of three separate & independent although interrelated components; the flanges, the gaskets & the fasteners.

WELDING NECK FLANGEWELDING NECK FLANGE
Th h l t d h bThey have a long, tapered hub between the flange ring and the weld joint. This hub provides a gradual transition from the flangegradual transition from the flange ring thickness to the pipe wall thickness thereby decreasing the discontinuity and increasing thediscontinuity and increasing the strength.
P f d f t i diti h hi h t t hi hPreferred for extreme service conditions such as high temperature, high pressure, wide fluctuations in pressure and temperature and subzero temperature.
SLIP-ON FLANGESLIP ON FLANGEThe use of this type of flange should be limited to moderate services where
fl ipressure fluctuations, temperature fluctuations, vibrations and shock are not expected to be severe.
The strength of this flange is around 2/3 times to that of weld neck flange.
The fatigue life of this type of flange is 1/3 that of a weld neck flange.
The slip-on type of flange is widely used because of its greater ease of li t i ldi bl d b f it l i iti l talignment in welding assembly and because of its low initial cost.
LAP JOINT FLANGE
The principal advantage of theseThe principal advantage of these flanges is that the bolt holes are easily aligned, and this simplifies the erection of the vessel.
They are also useful in cases where frequent dismantling for cleaning or inspection is requiredinspection is required
Its fatigue life is about 10% of the fatigue life of the weld neck flangesflanges.
SCREWED FLANGE
The screwed flanges are used on pipelines where welding cannot be carried out.out.
BLIND FLANGEBLIND FLANGE
The blind flanges are used to close the ends which need to be reopened later.

TYPES OF FLANGE FACE
• Raised Face (RF)• Tongue & Groove (T/G)
• Ring Type Joint (RTJ)

RAISED FACE (RF)RAISED FACE (RF)
•They are suitable for average service conditions. For severe y gservice involving high pressure, high temperature, thermal shock, or cyclic operations, this type of flange facing may not be satisfactorynot be satisfactory.•Raised face is 1/16” for 150# & 300# which ¼” for higher rating.•Unconfined gasket.
MALE & FEMALE (M/F)MALE & FEMALE (M/F)•Male & Female facings have the advantage of confining the gasket and thereby minimizing the possibility of blowout of the gasketand thereby minimizing the possibility of blowout of the gasket.•The two mating flanges are not identical. For this reason these flanges are not widely used on pipe-line connections as are the
i d f flraised face flanges.•They offer no protection against forcing the gasket into the vessel.•Recessed O.D. normally is not more than 1/16" larger than the O.D. of the male face.•Joint must be pried apart for disassembly
TONGUE & GROOVE (T/G)( )
•Fully Confined Gasket•Groove usually not over 1/16" wider than tongue y g•Gasket dimensions will match tongue dimensions •The flange is less subject to erosive and corrosive contact with the vesselthe vessel•The tongue is more likely to get damaged than the groove. Therefore the tongue is normally attached to the part which can b il d f h lbe easily removed from the vessel.
RING TYPE JOINT (RTJ)RING TYPE JOINT (RTJ)
•This type of facing is used severe service conditions and for hazardous fluidshazardous fluids .•It is used in petroleum, petrochemical and high-pressure equipments.•Close tolerances and high standards of machining are required , as a result this type of flange is seldom used for diameters larger than 36”.•The main disadvantage of this type of facing is the high cost of manufacturing. It is the most expensive face.
FLAT FACE (FF)FLAT FACE (FF)
They are mainly used for rubber lined equipments for chemical plantsplants. They are used for equipments operating under low pressure.Since the width of the gasket is more, the gasket seating force is more.
GASKETSGASKETS
Gaskets are relatively softer material which are inserted between flanges to avoid leakage. Tightening the bolts causes the gasket material to flow into the minor machining imperfections, resulting in a fluid tight seal.p , g g
Gaskets are made of materials which are not chemically affected by the fluid in the pipe and which are resistant to deterioration by temperaturedeterioration by temperature.
PROPERTIES OF IDEAL GASKET
•Be sufficiently deformable to flow into imperfections on the seating surfaces to create an initial sealseating surfaces to create an initial seal.
•Have sufficient strength to resist crushing under the applied load and defy rupture under pressure.y p p
•Chemically resist fluid under all temperatures and pressures.
•Never promote corrosion of the seating surfaceNever promote corrosion of the seating surface.

FLANGE ROTATION OR FLANGE RIGIDITY
Angular distortion of a flange under the influence of bolt and reaction forces. Measured with respect to the pcenter of the cross section of the flange.
Flanges have been designed based on allowable stress limits alone may not be sufficiently rigid enough to control leakage.
