The role of ASME B16.5 stainless steel flange in pipelines

　　ASME B16.5 stainless steel flange is the most common disc-shaped component in pipeline technology, and flanges are used in pairs.

　　In pipeline engineering, stainless steel flanges are mainly used for connecting pipelines. Install flanges on various pipes that need to be connected. Threaded flanges can be used for low-pressure pipelines, and welded flanges can be used for pressures above 4 kg.

　　Add a sealing point between the two flanges and tighten them with bolts. Flanges of different pressures have different thicknesses and use different bolts.

　　When water pumps, valves and pipelines are connected, parts of these equipment are also made into corresponding flange shapes, also called flange connection.

　　Any connecting parts that are bolted together and closed at the periphery of two planes are generally called "flanges", such as the joints of ventilation ducts.

　　This type of part can be called a "flange type part". But this connection is only a part of the equipment, such as the connection between the ASME B16.5 stainless steel flange and the water pump, so it is not easy to call the water pump a "flange part". Smaller parts such as valves may be called "flange parts".
