Sealing conditions of socket flange

　　Socket flange connections need to be used with bolts, such as forged socket flange with holes on it, bolts can be used to make socket flange tight, because gaskets are placed between the two socket flange sealing surfaces, after tightening the nut, the specific pressure on the gasket surface reaches a certain value, and then deforms, and fills the bumps on the sealing surface, so that the connection is tight and leakproof, and the sealing of the connection is maintained.

　　Meanwhile, ASME B16.5 A182 Stainless Steel Socket Flange connection is a kind of detachable connection.  Socket flange and stainless steel socket flange can be divided according to the components connected. According to the structure type, there are integral socket flange, looper flange and thread flange. Socket flange and butt welding flange are common integral flanges.Socket flange has poor rigidity, which is suitable for pressure P < 4 MPa occasion; socket flange is also called socket flange, which has high rigidity and is suitable for high pressure and temperature occasions.

　　In addition, socket flange is a flange connected with equipment or pipeline through fillet weld. Socket flange is also called lap welding flange.Socket flange is connected with pipeline by inserting the pipe into the inner hole of the flange to the appropriate position, and then overlapping welding. Socket flange is suitable for pipeline system with low pressure level and low pressure fluctuation, vibration and vibration. Socket flange is widely used because of its easy alignment and low cost in welding and assembling.
