The AS 2129 standard defines various types of flanges, including Plate flanges. The following is general information, and specific dimensions, pressures, and other parameters may vary depending on the specific version and grade of AS 2129 standard. It is recommended to consult the latest standard documents for accurate information when selecting and using.
Dimensions:
The AS 2129 standard specifies a series of dimensions, including the outer diameter and inner diameter of flanges, the diameter and spacing of bolt holes, etc. These dimensions vary depending on the grade and specifications of the flange.
Pressure Rating:
The pressure levels of AS 2129 Plate Flames usually have different levels, such as Table D, Table E, Table H, etc. Different levels are applicable to different engineering requirements and cover different pressure ranges.
Material:
The material of Plate flange can vary according to specific engineering requirements. Common materials include carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel, etc. When selecting materials, it is necessary to consider the characteristics of the medium and the conditions of the working environment.
Sealing surface (Facing):
The sealing surface of the Plate flange is usually flat to ensure effective sealing during connection. The flatness and surface quality of the sealing surface are key factors in ensuring the sealing performance of flange connections.
Product features:
Plate flanges typically have a simple design that is easy to install and maintain.
Due to its flat design, it is suitable for many pipes with different diameters and thicknesses.
Applications:
Plate flange is widely used for general pipeline connections, especially in applications under low to medium pressure and temperature conditions, such as water treatment, chemical industry, oil and gas transportation, and other fields.
Pros and Cons:
Advantages: Easy to install, suitable for general pressure and temperature conditions, widely used in multiple industries.
Disadvantage: The performance may not be as good as other types of flanges in extremely high pressure and temperature environments, so careful evaluation is required based on specific engineering requirements when selecting.
In practical applications, it is recommended to choose a suitable Plate flange based on specific engineering requirements and the requirements of AS 2129 standard to ensure the safety and reliability of pipeline systems.
