A loose flange is a flange that is loosely set on the edge of a container or pipe. Flange is the shaft and shaft connected parts, used for the connection between the pipe end; Also useful in equipment inlet and outlet flange, used for the connection between two equipment.
ASME B16.5 split loose flange is a type of flange used in piping systems that are designed to be split into two halves, which can be bolted together on the flange joint. The flange conforms to the ASME B16.5 standard, which specifies the dimensions, materials, and performance requirements for flanges used in various industries.
The split design of the ASME B16.5 split loose flange allows for easy installation and maintenance of piping systems. It is particularly useful in situations where the flange needs to be installed or removed without disconnecting the entire pipeline. The two halves of the flange can be easily separated and reconnected with bolts, making it a more cost-effective and efficient solution than traditional one-piece flanges.
The ASME B16.5 split loose flange is commonly used in applications where there is a need for frequent maintenance, repair, or replacement of pipeline components. This type of flange is often used in petrochemical, chemical, and oil and gas industries, where pipelines are subject to high pressures, temperatures, and corrosive environments.
Split loose flanges can be made from a variety of materials, including carbon steel, stainless steel, and alloy steel, depending on the specific application and operating conditions. They are available in various sizes and pressure ratings to suit different piping systems.
