Need to Know About Threaded Flanges

What are Threaded Flanges?

Threaded flanges are a type of pipe flange that has an internal and external thread. They are used to join pipes in a way that allows for easy tightening and loosening. Typically, the male threaded pipe is screwed into the female threaded flange until it is tightened enough to create a seal. Threaded Flanges are commonly used in low-pressure applications and are often used when space constraints make it challenging to weld.

Applications of Threaded Flanges

Threaded flanges are used in various industrial applications, including oil and gas, chemical processing, power generation, and water treatment. Industries that require frequent maintenance and inspection benefit significantly from threaded flanges. Threaded flanges are ideal in applications where multiple piping levels need to be frequently disassembled. They are also useful in applications where a leak-tight seal is required.

Advantages of Threaded Flanges

Threaded flanges offer numerous advantages over other types of flanges. One of the main advantages is that they are easier and quicker to assemble and disassemble. This makes maintenance and repair work more manageable, saving time and money. 

Threaded flanges also allow for alignment adjustment and ease of piping system modification. Unlike other flanges, Threaded flanges require no welding, which is a considerable advantage when working with materials such as plastics or PVC, which cannot be welded. In addition, Threaded flanges offer a cost-effective solution because special equipment is not required for assembly and disassembly.
