Ama-flange amapayipi akha umngcele ophuma ngokukhanya ekugcineni kwepayipi. Anezimbobo eziningana ezivumela ama-flange amabili amapayipi ukuthi ahlanganiswe ndawonye, akha uxhumano phakathi kwamapayipi amabili. I-gasket ingafakwa phakathi kwama-flange amabili ukuze kuthuthukiswe uphawu.
Ama-flange amapayipi ayatholakala njengezingxenye ezihlukile zokusetshenziswa ekuhlanganiseni amapayipi. I-flange yamapayipi inamathiselwa unomphela noma kancane unomphela ekugcineni kwepayipi. Bese kuba lula ukuhlanganisa nokuhlakaza ipayipi kwenye i-flange yamapayipi.
Ama-flange amapayipi ahlukaniswa ngokwendlela axhunywe ngayo epayipini:
Izinhlobo ze-flange yepayipi zifaka:
- Ama-flange entamo e-Weldzifakwe izinqe ekugcineni kwepayipi, zihlinzeka ngeflange efanelekile ekushiseni okuphezulu kanye nokucindezela.
- Ama-flange anezintambouma inentambo yangaphakathi (yesifazane), kufakwe ipayipi elinentambo. Kulula kakhulu ukuyifaka kodwa ayifanele ukucindezela okuphezulu kanye nokushisa.
- Ama-flange afakwe amasokhethiinomgodi ongenalutho onehlombe phansi. Ipayipi lifakwa emgodini ukuze lihlangane nehlombe bese lishintshwa libe yi-weld endaweni yalo nge-fillet weld ezungeze ngaphandle. Lokhu kusetshenziselwa amapayipi amancane anobubanzi asebenza ngokucindezela okuphansi.
- Ama-flange ashelelayofuthi inembobo engenalutho kodwa engenalo ihlombe. Ama-fillet weld afakwa epayipini ezinhlangothini zombili ze-flange.
- Ama-flange ahlanganisiwe cI-stubend inezingxenye ezimbili; i-stubend kanye ne-backer flange. I-subend ihlanganiswe ngezinqe kuze kube sekupheleni kwepayipi futhi ifaka i-flange encane engenazo izimbobo. I-back flange ingashelela phezu kwe-stubend futhi inikeze izimbobo zokubophela kwenye i-flange. Lokhu kulungiselela kuvumela ukuhlukaniswa ezindaweni ezivalekile.
- I-flange eyimpumputheAma-s awuhlobo lwepuleti elingenalutho eliboshelwe kwelinye i-flange yepayipi ukuze kuhlukaniswe ingxenye yepayipi noma kuqedwe ipayipi.
