Copper flange: structure, advantages, disadvantages, and applications

A copper flange is a type of industrial accessory made of copper, brass, etc. used to install and connect systems. Copper flanges have many applications in industries such as chemicals, petroleum, energy, water, etc. So what are the structures, specifications, and types of copper flanges? Let’s find out in this article.

What is a copper flange?

A copper flange is an industrial accessory made of copper materials, which can be copper, brass, etc., and is often used to connect pipes, industrial valves, pumps, etc. to create a complete piping system.

On the market today, there are many types of copper flanges. However, the most popular and widely used types are solid (blind) copper flanges, hollow copper flanges, ribbed copper flanges, etc.

Structure of a copper flange

Flanges made from copper material are round or oval accessories with bolt holes to connect with other flanges. The gaps on the flange will have different sizes depending on the type and usage requirements.

Normally, this accessory will include 3 main components. Detail:

Bolt hole
Inner diameter. This is the large gap in the middle of the flange.
Outer diameter. This is the distance between the two opposite edges of each flange.

Types of copper flanges

There are many types of flanges on the market today due to the different service conditions in which we operate. A copper flange is one of the top choices for accessories. So do you know how many types of copper surfaces there are? If not, then read on!

Các loại mặt bích làm bằng đồng — Flanges are made from copper material.

Blind copper flange (solid)

A blind copper flange (also known as a solid flange) is a type of flange without a hole in the middle. This product is used to seal pipes and equipment to prevent flow or change flow.

Hollow copper flange

Unlike blind copper flanges, hollow copper flanges are the type with a hole in the middle. This product is used to connect pipes or equipment of the same diameter for the purpose of maintaining continuous flow without changing the direction of flow.

Copper flange with burr

A ribbed copper flange is a type of flange with a protruding edge in the middle (ridged surface), the connection between the two flanges is a gasket made of brass. This product is often used in systems that require high tightness and can withstand great pressure.

Advantages and disadvantages of copper flanges

Advantage

Ưu điểm của MB đồng — Some advantages of copper flange

Copper flanges can be used in clean water, domestic water, etc.
Variety of sizes. Copper flanges are produced in many different sizes, suitable for many DN50–DN800 pipes.
Flanges meet JIS, DIN, ANSI, and BS standards.
Low cost. MB copper is cheaper than other types of flanges, specifically flanges made from carbon steel, stainless steel, etc.
Efficient in installation and maintenance. Copper MB can be installed, replaced, and maintained easily.

The copper flange has many outstanding advantages; however, it also has some disadvantages, as follows:

Disadvantages

Copper flanges should be limited in their use in chemical and highly corrosive environments.
The connection is slow and takes time to integrate.

Application of a copper flange

Copper flanges have many applications in various industries, thanks to their features and advantages. Here are some common applications of copper flanges:

In the water treatment system. Specifically, copper flange is used in the installation of water pipes, clean water supply and drainage, and domestic water in residential areas, public areas, factories, industries, etc.
In the food industry. Copper flanges are used to connect pipes or equipment used for food processing and preservation.
Used for installation with industrial valves. Such as copper ball valves, globe valves, copper gate valves, etc.
In the energy industry. A copper flange is used to connect pipes or equipment involved in the production, transmission, and distribution of electricity, specifically generators, transformers, cables, etc.

How to choose a flange properly

Are you wondering, “How to choose a flange properly?”

In my personal opinion, to choose the right flange, it must meet the following basic criteria:

Criteria 1: What type of flange standard should you choose? Such as production standards such as JIS, DIN, ANSI, BS, etc. If you choose the wrong standard, it will not be possible to connect with each other.
Criteria 2. Do you need to determine what diameter the pipe is?
Criteria 3. Selection of flange manufacturing materials
Criteria 4: Determine the type of flange connection. For example, for threaded flanges, the type of weld connection is most convenient.
Criteria 5. Need to choose blind flange, hollow flange, or flange with flange,…
Criterion 6. This criterion is equally important, which is determining the size according to specifications.

That is the basic information about copper flanges—an effective and convenient industrial accessory. Bao Tin Steel hopes this article will help you better understand MB copper products. In addition, if you are interested in or need to buy flanges, please contact Bao Tin Steel Co., Ltd. for consulting and purchasing support.
