What are flange connections? 

In the broadly understood industry, the flange is a part of the pipeline intended for the assembly of its individual parts, as well as for connecting devices to the pipeline. Due to the design of the collar, the following are distinguished: 

• Welded flat flange - The peculiarity of this type of flange connection is its assembly - the flange is "superimposed" on the pipe and welded with two welds around the circumference of the pipe. 
• Steel butt-welded flange - Its assembly, unlike a flat welded flange, provides only one joining joint. This makes direct contact between the end of the pipe and the flange necessary. This connection is very popular because it not only greatly simplifies the work, but also reduces the time it takes to carry out the work. 
• Steel collar loose on a weld ring - This type of connection is distinguished by its construction - it consists of two parts, which are the flange and the ring. In this case, it is necessary to match the diameter and pressure of these two components. The advantage of this type of flange is the ease of assembly - only the ring is welded to the pipe, while the flange itself remains free, ensuring an easy fit with other equipment. When assembled, it is often used for fittings and piping equipment - in places that are difficult to access or when flange connections are frequently repaired (e.g. in the chemical industry). 

The specifics of working with flange connections 

The role of the flange fitter is extremely important. It is his/her responsibility and approach that will determine the efficiency and service life of the pipelines or tanks. The precision and accuracy of the fitter's work translates into reliable and leak-free connections.  

What else does the flange joint installer need to be aware of? 

• occupational hazards (e.g. explosion, fire), 
• the threat of soil, water and air pollution,
• inaccuracy in the work can result in economic loss.
