A rubber flexible joint flange is a component used to connect piping or equipment and consists of two parts: a rubber flexible joint and a flange. Rubber flexible joints are usually made of rubber material with good elasticity and sealing properties, which can absorb vibrations and displacements of pipelines and thus protect the piping system from damage. Flanges, on the other hand, are metal parts used to connect piping or equipment with one or more protruding edges (i.e., flange faces) for bolting to other flanges or components.
Sealing: Through the elasticity and sealing of rubber material, the rubber flexible joint flange can effectively prevent liquid or gas leakage in the piping system and ensure the normal operation of the system.
Flexibility: The rubber flexible joint has a certain degree of expansion and displacement ability, which can absorb the displacement and vibration of the pipeline due to temperature change, pressure fluctuation or foundation settlement, so as to protect the pipeline system from damage.
Corrosion resistance: rubber flexible joint flange is usually made of corrosion-resistant materials, such as stainless steel, alloy steel, etc., which can be used for a long time in harsh environments without corrosion.
Application scope: rubber flexible joint flanges are widely used in various piping systems, such as water supply, drainage, petroleum, chemical industry, electric power, ships and other fields. Especially in the piping system which needs to bear large pressure, vibration or displacement, rubber flexible joint flange is an indispensable connection component.
Types and specifications
Rubber flexible joint flanges can be divided into various types according to the different connection methods and structural forms, such as loose flange type, fixed flange type, threaded type and so on. Meanwhile, according to the pressure and temperature requirements of the piping system, different specifications and materials of rubber flexible joint flanges can also be selected.
Installation and Maintenance
Installation: When installing the rubber flexible joint flange, you need to make sure that the flange surface is flat and clean, and tighten it according to the specified bolt torque. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the installation direction and displacement range of the rubber flexible joint to ensure its normal operation.
Maintenance: Regularly inspect and maintain the rubber flexible joint flange, including checking whether the flange connection is loose, whether the rubber material is aging or damaged, and so on. If problems are found, they should be replaced or repaired in time to ensure the normal operation of the piping system.
