INDUSTRY COMPONENT

Duct Collar/Flange

A duct collar or flange is a connecting component used to join duct sections or attach ducts to hood bodies/enclosures in industrial ventilation systems.

Component Specifications

Definition
A duct collar or flange is a standardized mechanical interface component designed to create secure, airtight connections between ductwork sections or between ducts and hood bodies/enclosures in industrial ventilation and exhaust systems. It typically consists of a circular or rectangular collar with bolt holes or clamping mechanisms that align with mating flanges on adjacent components, ensuring proper alignment and sealing to maintain system integrity and prevent air leakage.
Working Principle
The duct collar/flange works by providing a mating surface that aligns with corresponding flanges on duct sections or hood bodies. When bolted or clamped together with gaskets or sealants, it creates a continuous, airtight passage for airflow. The collar's design ensures proper alignment, distributes mechanical loads evenly, and maintains the structural integrity of the duct connection under operational pressures and vibrations.
Materials
Typically made from galvanized steel (G90 coating), stainless steel (304/316 grades), aluminum alloys, or composite materials. Thickness ranges from 1.2mm to 3.0mm depending on pressure requirements. Gaskets are often made from neoprene, silicone, or EPDM rubber for sealing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a duct collar and a duct flange?

A duct collar typically refers to a short cylindrical extension with a rolled edge for slip-on connections, while a flange is a flat, bolted interface with standardized bolt patterns. Collars are often used for flexible connections, while flanges provide rigid, high-pressure connections.

How do I select the right gasket material for a duct flange?

Select gasket material based on temperature range, chemical exposure, and pressure requirements. Neoprene for general use (-40°C to 100°C), silicone for high temperatures (-60°C to 230°C), and EPDM for weather resistance and chemical compatibility.
