INDUSTRY COMPONENT

Dome Flange

A specialized flange designed for dome-shaped pressure vessels and tanks to provide secure sealing and structural connection.

Component Specifications

Definition
A dome flange is a precision-engineered circular component with bolt holes and a sealing surface, specifically contoured to match the curvature of dome-shaped structures in pressure vessels, storage tanks, and reactors. It serves as the interface between the dome and connecting pipes or equipment, ensuring pressure integrity and structural stability under operational loads.
Working Principle
The dome flange operates by creating a bolted, gasketed joint that distributes mechanical loads evenly across the dome's curved surface. When tightened, bolts compress a gasket between mating surfaces, forming a pressure-tight seal that prevents leakage of contents (liquids, gases, or vapors) while withstanding internal pressure, thermal expansion, and external forces.
Materials
Typically manufactured from carbon steel (ASTM A105), stainless steel (ASTM A182 F304/F316), or alloy steel (ASTM A182 F11/F22). Materials are selected based on corrosion resistance, temperature, and pressure requirements. Surface finish: Ra ≤ 3.2 μm for sealing surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main difference between a dome flange and a standard flat flange?

A dome flange is curved to match the geometry of dome-shaped structures, ensuring uniform load distribution and preventing stress concentrations, whereas flat flanges are designed for cylindrical or flat surfaces.

Can dome flanges be used in high-temperature applications?

Yes, when made from appropriate materials like stainless steel or alloy steels, dome flanges can operate in temperatures up to 400°C, depending on the gasket material and design pressure.
