 Pipe-flanging machines permit the joining of
pipe sections without the need for costly welded flanges and the
associated temporary tack welding, slag removal and x-ray
inspection.
A prefabricated slip flange is placed against the assembly on an
adjacent pipe section A disc shaped rubber seal placed between the
two formed flanges prevents any leaks. Problems in lining up bolt
holes are eliminated with the use of slip flanges which rotate
freely on the pipe. Standard flanges can still be used.
Typical Applications: Chemical plants, petroleum refineries,
power plants, and pipelines.
