How to prevent flange leakage and ensuring long-lasting performance?

Flange leakage can be a major concern in industrial piping systems, leading to costly downtime, safety hazards, and environmental risks. At Haihao Group, we understand the importance of reliable and leak-free connections, which is why we’re here to guide you through the key aspects of flange maintenance and prevention of leakage.

Common Causes of Flange Leakage:

Improper Gasket Selection: Choosing the right gasket material is crucial for achieving a tight seal between flange connections. Factors such as media compatibility, temperature, and pressure must be considered when selecting gaskets. Our experts can assist you in identifying the most suitable gasket material for your specific application.

Insufficient Bolt Torque: Inadequate bolt torque can result in insufficient compression of the gasket, leading to leakage. Proper bolt torque control, following manufacturer specifications, is essential to ensure an effective seal. Our team can provide guidance on achieving the correct torque for your flange connections.

Uneven Flange Surface: Flanges with uneven surfaces or damage, such as pitting or corrosion, can compromise the integrity of the seal. It is crucial to inspect flanges regularly and address any surface irregularities promptly. Our high-quality flanges are manufactured to precise specifications, ensuring a smooth and even surface for optimal sealing.
