Titanium flanges: Material properties, working principles and industry applications
Definition and structure: Material: Titanium flanges use titanium or titanium alloys as raw materials, which are known for their excellent strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, non-magnetism, biocompatibility and stability at high temperatures.
Shape and structure: The flange itself is a disk-like structure, with a central hole matching the inner diameter of the pipe, so that the pipe can pass through and form a firm connection with it. The flange surface is distributed with a specific number, size and arrangement of holes for mounting bolts and/or double-ended studs in order to hold two or more flanges tightly together by matching nuts.
Sealing mechanism: One or more sealing gaskets are placed between the two butt flanges. When the bolts are properly tightened, the gaskets are compressed and an effective sealing barrier is formed between the flange sealing surface to prevent the fluid medium from leaking from the joint.
Manufacturing method: Titanium flanges can be manufactured by precision casting process, suitable for situations requiring complex internal structure or special performance requirements.
Threaded connection: Some small or application-specific flanges may be designed with threaded interfaces that can be directly threaded to tubes or other components.
Welding: Flanges can also be welded to pipes, especially for applications that require extremely high sealing and structural strength, such as pressure vessels, chemical equipment or aerospace applications.
Application and advantage: Industrial pipeline system: Titanium flanges are widely used in chemical treatment, petroleum refining, Marine engineering, power, medicine, food processing and other industries in the pipeline system, especially suitable for the treatment of highly corrosive media, such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, seawater and so on.
Corrosion resistance: Titanium's high corrosion resistance allows it to maintain long-term structural integrity and seal reliability in harsh environments, significantly reducing maintenance costs and extending equipment life.
Lightweight: Compared to traditional stainless steel or carbon steel flanges, titanium flanges have lower mass and are of great value for high-end applications that require weight reduction (such as aviation, aerospace, racing, etc.).
Biomedical field: Titanium's biocompatibility makes it a favorite in medical device manufacturing, and titanium flanges can be used to build pipe connections for medical devices or laboratory equipment implanted in the body.
High temperature performance: Titanium alloy can still maintain good mechanical properties and creep resistance in high temperature environment, suitable for high temperature and high pressure conditions.
Specification parameters: Specifications of titanium flanges usually include nominal diameter (DN), pressure grade (PN or Class), flange type (such as flat flange, convex flange, ring joint flange, etc.), connection form (such as butt welding, socket welding, thread, etc.), applicable standards (such as ASME, EN, JIS, etc.) and material grade. • Testing methods: The testing of titanium flanges may cover material composition analysis, dimensional inspection, non-destructive testing (such as ultrasonic testing, magnetic particle testing, penetration testing, etc.), mechanical properties testing (such as tensile testing, hardness testing, etc.), sealing performance testing, and surface quality assessment to ensure that they meet the relevant standards and use requirements. In short, titanium flanges as a high-performance pipe connection component, with the unique properties of titanium and its alloys, provide a reliable connection solution for a variety of harsh environments and demanding applications. Low maintenance costs and extended equipment life.
