Swivel Flange Structure Function And Application

I. Function of Swivel Flange

Swivel flange is a rotatable connector consisting of two parts: flange disk and swivel joint. Its main functions are as follows:

. Realize connection

Swivel flange can connect two pipelines or equipments, and the connection mode is divided into bolt connection and welding connection. By means of swivel flanges, equipment or pipelines can be connected and separated quickly.

2. Load-bearing function

Swivel flanges are mounted on equipment or pipelines, and swivel joints are connected to another equipment or pipeline. The load-bearing effect of swivel flanges enables the equipment or pipeline to withstand internal and external pressures and weight forces.

3. Turning action

The rotary joint of the swivel flange can realize 360 degree rotation under its support, so that the two connected equipments or pipelines can rotate and adjust the angle when necessary to adapt to various process requirements.

Second, the application scene of swivel flange

1. Chemical industry

In the production process of chemical industry, the equipment needs to be cleaned frequently to ensure the production quality and safety, the connection of swivel flange can be easily disassembled and re-installed equipment, which reduces the process debugging time and the cost of use.

2. Oil and gas industry

The oil and gas industry needs to install a large number of pipelines and equipment, the use of swivel flanges and its supporting equipment can be easily disassembled and re-installed to improve the construction efficiency and work safety.

3. Food Processing Industry

The food processing industry requires frequent replacement of equipment in different process sections, the use of swivel flanges can be easily disassembled and re-installed equipment, reducing the risk of food hygiene and safety.

In conclusion, as an important way to connect pipelines and equipment, swivel flanges are widely used in many fields such as chemical industry, oil and gas, food, etc. Their flexibility and convenience are increasingly sought after by engineering and equipment facilities.
