Component Specifications

Definition

A flange ring is a critical component in pressure vessel manway assemblies, designed to create a robust, leak-proof interface between the removable manway cover and the vessel shell. It typically features bolt holes for fastening and a sealing surface to accommodate gaskets, ensuring pressure integrity and safety in high-pressure environments.

Working Principle

The flange ring works by distributing clamping force evenly via bolts to compress a gasket against its sealing surface, forming a tight seal that prevents fluid or gas leakage under pressure. It aligns and secures the manway cover to the vessel, allowing for safe access while maintaining structural integrity.

Materials

Common materials include carbon steel (e.g., ASTM A105), stainless steel (e.g., ASTM A182 F304/F316), or alloy steel, selected based on pressure, temperature, and corrosion resistance requirements.

Technical Parameters

Diameter Typically 300-600 mm
Thickness 10-25 mm
Surface Finish Ra 3.2 μm or smoother for sealing
Pressure Rating 150-300 psi
