Component Specifications

Definition
A precision-machined flange component designed to connect the discharge outlet of a combustion air blower to downstream ductwork or equipment, providing a secure, sealed interface that maintains system pressure integrity while allowing for thermal expansion and vibration isolation.
Working Principle
The outlet flange creates a bolted, gasketed connection between the blower housing and attached piping, distributing mechanical loads evenly across the mating surfaces while preventing air leakage through compression sealing. It accommodates differential thermal expansion between components and dampens vibration transmission.
Materials
ASTM A36 carbon steel or ASTM A240 304/316 stainless steel, with surface finish Ra ≤ 3.2 μm, corrosion-resistant coating optional
Technical Parameters
  • Thickness 20-40 mm
  • Bolt Holes 8-12 holes
  • Flange Type Weld Neck (WN)
  • Max Pressure 16 bar
  • Pressure Rating PN16/Class 150
  • Nominal Diameter DN150 to DN600
  • Bolt Circle Diameter As per ASME B16.5
  • Operating Temperature -20°C to +400°C
Standards
ISO 7005-1, DIN 2633, ASME B16.5, EN 1092-1

Risks & Mitigation
  • Improper gasket installation causing leakage
  • Thermal stress cracking due to expansion mismatch
  • Corrosion in high-moisture environments
  • Bolt fatigue from vibration
FMEA Triads
Trigger: Incorrect bolt torque during installation
Failure: Flange joint leakage leading to pressure loss and efficiency reduction
Mitigation: Use calibrated torque wrenches, follow cross-tightening patterns, and implement torque verification procedures
Trigger: Thermal cycling beyond design limits
Failure: Flange warping or cracking causing catastrophic seal failure
Mitigation: Select materials with compatible thermal expansion coefficients, incorporate expansion joints, and monitor operating temperatures
Trigger: Corrosive environment without proper protection
Failure: Material degradation leading to structural weakness and potential rupture
Mitigation: Apply corrosion-resistant coatings, select appropriate alloy materials, and implement regular inspection schedules
