Flanged pipes advantages
Home | Advantages
Reliability
TORSIONAL AND TENSILE STRENGTH
The carbon steel or AISI 304 or 316 stainless steel flanged pipes have a high resistance to traction, torsion and shocks, making them a very reliable means of transport for liquids and gases.
They are used above all as vertical pipelines, as they optimally withstand the torsional force due to the switching on of the electric pump, the vibrations produced during its operation and water hammers.
Anti-corrosion
AND RESISTANCE TO RUST
Corrosion is an irreversible process of degradation of the characteristics of a material to which all objects exposed to atmospheric agents or placed in the ground are subjected.
Thanks to the use of AISI 304 or 316 type stainless steel or carbon steel with special galvanization or painting, the flanged pipes have proven resistance to a wide range of atmospheric, chemical, textile, oil and food exposures and high durability over time.
EASE OF ASSEMBLY
Installation
The flanged pipes have the characteristic of being easy to install, as no special equipment or particular preparation is required and the maintenance required is almost zero.
Pressure tight
AND ANY ITS FLUCTUATION
The flanged connection guarantees excellent pressure resistance and safety against any pressure fluctuations.
Pressure sealing is achieved by inserting a donut-shaped gasket between the flanges, before tightening the bolts. Gaskets are typically made of softer materials than flanges.
Design of flanges
IT GUARANTEES THE PRESSURE-TIGHT
Pressure tightness is also ensured by the design of the flanges, which can be of different types. For example, the most common ones have a series of concentric grooves on the faces in contact with the gasket.
They form a sealing surface with a greater leakage path than if the faces were smooth, discouraging leakage of fluid under pressure.
Eco-sustainability
Compared to pipes made with plastic materials, such as PVC or polypropylene, flanged pipes are eco-sustainable and have a low environmental impact. By using flanged pipes you do nature a favor by avoiding:
Microplastics
They can spread during the normal transport of liquids in deteriorated pipes
Abandon in nature
Abandonment of plastic pipes in the environment once reached their end of life
Disposal
Plastic pipes must be properly disposed of or recycled by law
Uniformity
OF THE PIPE THICKNESS
The flanged pipes are very robust also due to the fact that their thickness is uniform along the entire length of the pipe. In fact, the insertion of the flanges does not lead to a reduction in the thickness of the tube, making the structure free of points of vulnerability.
Reduced costs
MANAGEMENT AND TRANSPORT
Given their rigidity and robustness of construction, the flanged pipes do not risk breakage during transport and handling, or in the event of sudden impacts and accidental damage. This minimizes running costs.
They are also resistant to the stresses that may be subjected to during their installation.
