Intermediate Flanges

Intermediate flanges are mechanical components used to connect two sections of a pipeline or duct together. They are typically circular metal flanges with bolt holes around the perimeter that match the bolt holes on the adjacent flange.

Intermediate flanges are used when a long pipeline or duct needs to be divided into shorter sections for ease of installation, maintenance, or repair. The flanges are bolted together to create a secure and leak-tight connection between the sections of the pipeline or duct.

Intermediate flanges come in various sizes and materials, depending on the size and pressure rating of the pipeline or duct and the environmental conditions. They can be made of steel, stainless steel, brass, or other materials that offer high strength, corrosion resistance, and durability.

Proper installation and maintenance of intermediate flanges are important to ensure a safe and reliable pipeline or duct system. The flanges should be properly aligned and tightened to the manufacturer’s recommended torque specifications to prevent leaks or failure of the pipeline or duct. Regular inspection and maintenance can help detect any damage or wear to the flanges and other components of the system.
