Flanges: Ulalo Wofunika Kwambiri pa Piping Systems
M'dziko lovuta kwambiri la machitidwe a mapaipi, tanthauzo la flanges silingathe kufotokozedwa mopambanitsa. Kutumikira ngati njira yofunika kwambiri yolumikizirana, flanges kulumikiza mapaipi, mavavu, mapampu, ndi zida, osati kuonetsetsa magwiridwe antchito mopanda malire komanso kupangitsa mwayi wofikira pakukonza ndi kukonza. Njira ziwiri zoyambirira zopangira maulumikizidwe awa zimawonekera: kuwotcherera ndi screwing. Matsenga amachitika pamene ma flanges awiri amangiriridwa bwino pamodzi ndi gasket yoyikidwa bwino, kupanga cholumikizira cholimba ndikuwonetsetsa kuti chisindikizo chopanda mpweya.
Kulowera mu Mitundu ya Flange ndi Ntchito Zake
M'mafakitale osiyanasiyana monga Petro ndi mankhwala, flanges amatenga mitundu yosiyanasiyana, chilichonse chogwirizana ndi ntchito ndi zofunikira. Tiyeni tiwone ena mwa mitundu yodziwika bwino ya flange yomwe yasintha kulumikizana kwa mafakitale:
- Welding Neck Flange: Izi flange zosiyanasiyana, chodziwika chifukwa cha mphamvu zake zapadera komanso kulimba kwake, nthawi zambiri imasankhidwa kuti ikhale yothamanga kwambiri. Khosi, elongated ndi welded kwa chitoliro, amachepetsa nkhawa ndende ndi kumawonjezera madzimadzi otaya.
- Slip-On Flange: Zabwino pamikhalidwe yomwe kusonkhanitsa mwachangu ndikofunikira, flange yotsetsereka imatsetserekera pa chitoliro musanawotchedwe m'malo mwake. Kuyika kwake kosavuta kumapangitsa kukhala chisankho chodziwika muzochitika zosafunikira kwenikweni.
- Socket Weld Flange: Pamene mukulimbana ndi zovuta zolimbitsa thupi ndi kutentha, socket weld flange imawala. Socket yake yokhazikika imathandizira kumapeto kwa chitoliro, kupangitsa kulumikizana kosalala ndi koyera.
- Flange ya Threaded: Kwa ntchito zomwe kuwotcherera sikutheka, ulusi flanges kulowa. Polimbana ndi tizilombo toyambitsa matenda, they offer a reliable solution for low-pressure connections.
- Blind Flange: When you need to seal off the end of a piping system, the blind flange comes into play. Its solid plate with no center hole prevents flow, making it indispensable for maintenance and inspections.
- Lap Joint Flange: While not featuring a raised flange face like its counterparts, the lap joint flange offers flexibility by allowing easy alignment of bolt holes. It’s an ideal choice for systems requiring regular dismantling.
Unveiling the Material Diversity of Flanges
The material selection for flanges is a delicate dance that involves compatibility with the pipe and the operating conditions. Common materials like stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, and forged carbon steel each bring their unique properties to the table. Koma si mapeto a nkhaniyi. Flanges amathanso kuphatikiza zinthu zosiyanasiyana zamkati, kupanga zomwe zimadziwika kuti “ma flanges.” Njira yatsopanoyi imakulitsa kugwirizana ndi njira zosiyanasiyana ndikukulitsa kuchuluka kwa ntchito.
Navigating Standards: ASME ndi ASTM
M'dziko la flanges, kutsatira miyezo ndikofunika kwambiri. Bungwe la American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) ndi American Society for Testing and Materials (Chithunzi cha ASTM) ikani zizindikiro za miyeso ndi zinthu zakuthupi, motsatana.
- ASME B16.5: Muyezo uwu umatanthauzira mozama kukula kwa ma flanges, kuwonetsetsa kuti ntchito zonse zizifanana. Ndiwo akatswiri otsogolera kampasi popanga malumikizidwe a flange omwe amafanana ndi magolovesi.
- Miyezo ya Zida za ASTM: ASTM imalowetsamo kuti ifotokozere zomwe zimafunikira kupanga flange. Kusankhidwa kwa zinthu sikulinso kuwombera mumdima, koma chigamulo chodziwika bwino chochirikizidwa ndi miyezo yokhwima.
Chidziwitso Chowoneka: Welding Neck Flange mu Focus
Tiyeni tiwone mwatsatanetsatane mtundu wina wa flange: Welding Neck Flange. Ingoganizirani za Welding Neck flange yokhala ndi NPS (Kukula Kwapaipi Kwadzina) za 6, wa Class 150, ndi kutsatira Ndandanda 40 wa ASME B16.5. Flange iyi ikuwonetsa chidwi chambiri mwatsatanetsatane zomwe miyezo ya ASME imabweretsa patebulo. Nachi chithunzi cha mermaid chomwe chikuwonetsa kapangidwe kake:

Kuvuta kwa Malumikizidwe a Bolted Flange
Kulumikizana kwa flange ndi symphony ya zigawo zikuluzikulu, aliyense ali ndi gawo lofunika kwambiri posunga umphumphu. Flange kupanga, kusankha bawuti, kusankha gasket, ndondomeko zikhalidwe, kutentha, kupanikizika, ndi chikhalidwe cha sing'anga - zonse zimathandizira kuti zikhale zovuta kugwirizanitsa izi. Komabe, kugwirizana kwa ensemble kumatengera chinthu chimodzi chofunikira: yolondola olowa kumanga.
Mphamvu ya Clamping Force
Lowani zimango pa siteji ya msonkhano. Monga ma flanges ndi mabawuti amabwera palimodzi, iwo amapanga clamping mphamvu - kugunda kwa mtima wa olowa umphumphu. Kuyika koyenera ndi makina aluso kumatsimikizira kuti mphamvuyi imagawidwa mofanana, kusindikiza kugwirizana ndi ungwiro. Cholowa chopanda kutayikira chimakhala ngati umboni waluso laluso lomwe likuseweredwa.
Ntchito ya Gasket: Kupitirira Zoonekeratu
Gaskets, Nthawi zambiri amawonedwa ngati okayikira kwambiri pamalumikizidwe otumphukira a flange, wululirani chowonadi chozama mukachiyang'anitsitsa. Kuposa kugwirizanitsa zigawo mwangwiro, Kupambana kapena kulephera kwa kulumikizana kwa flange kumalumikizidwa ndi momwe ma gaskets amayikidwira ndikusonkhanitsidwa. Ndiko kuvina kosasunthika komwe kumapangitsa kuti mgwirizano ugwire ntchito popanda zovuta.
Dziko la Zotheka: Kupitilira Zoyambira
Ngakhale mitundu ya flange yomwe yatchulidwa kale imagwira ntchito zambiri, palinso mitundu ina yapadera yomwe imathandizira zochitika zapadera:
- Orifice Flange: Zokongoletsedwa poyezera kuchuluka kwamayendedwe, flange iyi imakhala ndi mabowo opangidwa ndendende kuti agwirizane ndi zida zoyezera.
- Long Weld Neck Flange: Imadziwika ndi khosi lake lalitali, flange iyi imachepetsa kupsinjika pa malo olumikizirana ndipo imakonda kwambiri pamakina othamanga kwambiri.
- Expander Flange: Pamene kusintha pakati pa kukula kwa chitoliro ndikofunikira, expander flange imachepetsa ndondomekoyi, kuonetsetsa kuti njira yoyenda bwino.
- Pali flange: Kuphatikiza mawonekedwe a weld khosi ndi slip-on flange, Nipo flange imapereka kusinthasintha pakuyika ndi kukonza.
- Kuchepetsa Flange: Kuthana ndi kufunikira kwa kusintha kwa diameter, flange yochepetsera imagwirizanitsa mapaipi amitundu yosiyanasiyana mopanda malire.
- Padi Flange: Zomangira zida ngati zida zokakamiza, pad flange imapereka malo odzipatulira popanda kusokoneza kukhulupirika kwa mgwirizano.
Flange Face Matters: Luso la Kusindikiza
Kusindikiza kwa gasket ndi gawo lofunikira lomwe limakhudzidwa ndi mtundu wa flange ndi nkhope yake. Ngakhale miyezo ndi yochuluka yolumikizira ma flange, anzawo owotcherera nthawi zambiri alibe malangizo otero. Apa ndipamene ukatswiri wa uinjiniya umayamba kugwira ntchito, kupanga chisankho pakati pa ma flange ndi ma welded chisankho chowerengeka.
Kuthetsa Balance: Kuchita bwino vs. Kuchita
Mafakitole atsopano akusiya kugwiritsa ntchito kwambiri flange, poganizira zinthu monga kukwera mtengo komanso kusagwira bwino ntchito kwa malo. Kukopa kwa weld imodzi yolumikiza mapaipi awiri sikungatsutse. Komabe, kugwirizana kwa flange, ngakhale amatha kutayikira komanso kuwononga malo, kupereka ubwino wosatsutsika. Kupanga kosavuta komanso kuchepetsedwa kwa ntchito pamasamba kumawapangitsa kukhala njira yabwino, njira iliyonse yopereka zabwino ndi zoyipa zake.
Pomaliza
Dziko la kugwirizana kwa flange ndi labyrinth ya zosankha, chilichonse chimatsogolera pazotsatira zake. Ulendo wochoka pa kusankha zinthu kupita ku kumanga kophatikizana ndi njira yosamala yomwe imafunikira chidziwitso cha akatswiri komanso kulondola. Kupyolera mu kutsatira miyezo, kumvetsetsa ma nuances a kukhazikitsa gasket, ndi kugwiritsa ntchito mphamvu ya clamping force, ma flange opanda kutayikira amakhala zenizeni. Mu kuvina kovuta kwa mainjiniya, njira iliyonse
