BASIC DETAILS OF FLANGES INDEX:-  Description  Classification and Types  Advantages Disadvantages Description:-  A flange is a method of connecting pipes, valves, pumps and other equipment to form a piping   system.  It also provides easy access for cleaning,   inspection or modification.  Flanges are usually   welded or screwed.  Flanged joints are made by   bolting together two flanges with a gasket between   them to provide a seal. Flanges are used when the joint needs dismantling.  These are used mainly   equipments, valves and specialties.  In certain pipe lines where maintenance is a regular   feature, breakout flanges are provided at definite intervals on pipe lines.  A flanged joint is   composed of three separate and independent although interrelated components; the   flanges, the gaskets and the bolting; which are assembled by yet another influence, the   fitter.    Fl...

Special Fittings What is Elbow in Piping .     An elbow is a pipe fitting installed between two lengths of pipe or tubing to allow a change of direction, usually a 90° or 45° angle, though 22.5° elbows are also made.  The ends may be machined for butt welding, threaded (usually female), or socketed, etc. Used to change the angle or direction of the pipe run. Most commonly in 90 degrees and 45 degree turns.  A pressure pipe fitting designed to provide an exact change in direction of a pipe run.     Steel pipe elbow is a key part in a pressure piping system used to change the fluid flow direction.  Types of Elbow.   45° Elbows.  90° Elbows.  LR Elbows (Long Radius).  SR Elbows (Short Radius). Elbows: -  Elbows are used to make 90 deg. or 45 deg. changes in th...

A   pipe is a tube or hollow cylinder used to convey materials or as a structural component. A pipe or  tube used to convey water, gas, oil, or other fluid substances.  A pipe is generally specified by the internal diameter (ID or NB). There are two common methods for designating pipe outside diameter (OD).    The North American method is called NPS. NPS -  ("Nominal Pipe Size") and is based on inches (also  frequently referred to as NB ("Nominal Bore")).  The European version is called DN ("Diameter Nominal" / "Nominal Di...
