Pro Flow Dynamics FL100-SS 1" Threaded Pipe Flange, Stainless Steel 304

Threaded pipe flanges are threaded fittings widely used in piping systems, providing a secure method of connecting pipes, fittings, and other equipment without the need for welding. These metal flanges feature internal threads that allow for the connection to Male Threaded ends. The Threads are tapered which allows the threaded flange to be tightened onto a male thread forming a seal that won't leak. These threads are the reason they are also known as a Screwed Flange, since they thread or screw onto a pipe or fitting. The bolting circle allows for a secure connection and easy assembly and disassembly without the need for welding. Despite their advantages, it's essential to note that threaded SS Flange Fittings may not be suitable for high-pressure or high-temperature applications, as welding or other methods are often preferred in those cases for enhanced strength and reliability.

Uses:

• A pipe flange allows for easy connection and interchangeability between pipes and apparatus as they are designed to have standardized dimensions.
• Most commonly used to connect pipes, fittings, valves, pumps, and other equipment without the need to weld.
• Threaded Pipe Flanges are generally used on smaller thread sizes and smaller pipe diameters.

Advantages:

• Flanges increase the strength of the joint.
• Threaded Pipe Flanges are often used to connect pipes without welding.
• They function similarly to a socket weld flange or a slip-on flange, except they are machined with internal tapered threads in the flange bore.
• This results in an easy connection: simply screw the female NPT thread in the center of the flange onto a male NPT thread.

Installation:

• It has standard cut-outs to be bolted flush when marrying two flanges together to create a flange joint.
• A gasket is placed on the raised surface between the mating flanges on the raised area of the flange face.
• It comes with female NPT threads to attach to a male pipe fitting.

Material: Stainless Steel 304.
