Nipoflanges

Understanding your choice of nipoflanges options

We can provide information and guidance on various options available for nipoflanges. When selecting the options for nipoflanges, it is essential to consider the application requirements, including the temperature, pressure, and fluid or gas being transported. By considering these options and selecting the appropriate ones based on the application requirements, nipoflanges can provide a reliable and efficient connection for various piping systems.

What are nipoflanges?

The nipoflange combines a welded neck flange and a so-called Nippolet. On the main pipe side, the nipoflange is designed like a weldolet. This means that the branch connection on the main pipe side is a welded connection. It has a flange connection. Nipo flange connections can be designed according to customer requirements (DIN or ANSI). It is used to connect reinforcement fittings. It replaces the traditional connection. The body of the nipoflange is made of high-quality forging.

Nipoflanges are mainly used for welding because they provide a strong seal between two pipes.

How to welding a nipoflange correctly?

There are several steps to consider when properly welding nipoflange. First, you need to make sure that both surfaces of the tubing are properly cleaned before you begin welding, so there is no debris or dirt on the surface that could interfere with the welding process. Secondly, you need to use the correct type of filler metal when welding the nipoflange; this should be determined by the materials being welded together, as different metals require different filler metals for the best results. Finally, you also need to make sure that you are applying the right amount of heat to the process so that your joint will be strong when it is finished. Nipoflanges are also commonly used in cooling towers, water systems, gas pipelines, fire sprinkler systems, chemical plants, power plants, piping systems, mining operations, etc.

• In cooling towers and water systems, nipoflanges connect pipes and equipment to circulate water or other cooling fluids. In gas pipelines, flanges connect pipeline sections and allow for easy maintenance and repair.
• In fire sprinkler systems, nipoflanges connect pipes and valves that distribute water for fire suppression.
• In chemical plants, nipoflanges connect pipes and valves that handle various chemicals and corrosive materials.
• In power plants, nipoflanges are used in various applications such as steam, water, fuel, and exhaust systems.
• In mining operations, nipoflanges connect pipes and equipment for transporting water, slurry, and other materials.

Manufacturing process of Nipoflanges

Nipoflanges can be produced by forging, casting. We mainly produce flanges by forging, cutting and rolling processes.

Manufacturing process of Nipoflanges

The nipoflangess shall be forged steel.

• Raw material inspection – The key raw material used to produce flanges is billet or hot rolled bar stock. All raw materials purchased are supplied with test reports in accordance with British Standards with full traceability. This is the first mandatory step in the flange production process to ensure good quality. The raw materials are retested in-house to ensure chemical composition, mechanical properties and metallographic analysis.
• Cutting of raw materials – Correct and strict control of cutting sizes and proportions ensures full cost control.
• Heating – This is a very important step for the quality of the flanges. It is necessary to keep detailed records of heating temperatures to avoid overheating. Overheating can damage the structure of the metal and the mechanical properties of the raw material.
• Forging – The forging process is divided into free forging and die forging. The forging time and strength of flanges vary for different pressure classes.
• Heat treatment-The purpose of heat treatment is to eliminate the stress inside the flange and make the density more uniform. Careful recording of heat treatment temperature and cooling time is the key.
• Inspection of forging blanks – After the heat treatment process, select batch samples are tested again for chemical composition and mechanical properties to ensure that all items pass.
• Machining of forging blanks – During machining, inspection is performed along with machining to ensure that each part of the flange is qualified. Machining is performed on CNC and/or lathes.
• Finished Product Inspection – The finished product will be inspected 100% prior to delivery to ensure that the goods meet VSM, ASME, EN or customer standards.
• Documented Documentation – The entire production process and quality checks at different levels are documented according to VSM compliant standard operating procedures. This is the guarantee of good quality.
• Test certificates: As we are an VSM and PED certified manufacturer, we can issue test certificates for all goods upon delivery and inspection in accordance with British Standards.
• Packaging: All forgings and flanges are packed in wooden boxes or crates or pallets to ensure safe movement of the goods.

Marking of Nipoflanges

The marking of nipoflanges usually includes the following information:

• Manufacturer’s name or trademark.
• Material grade or specification, such as ASTM A105, A234 WPB, A182 F316, etc.

Inspection and measurement of Nipoflanges

There are several factors that need to be considered when inspecting and measuring nipoflanges, including:

Material

The first thing to inspect in a nipoflange is the material. The standard specifies that the flanges should be made from materials such as carbon steel, stainless steel, or alloy steel. The material should be free from any defects such as cracks, porosity, or inclusions that can affect the integrity of the flange. Dimension

The next thing to inspect in a nipoflange is its dimension. The standard specifies the dimensions of the flanges based on their nominal size and pressure rating. The flanges should be inspected for their inside and outside diameter, thickness, and overall dimensions to ensure they meet the requirements of the standard.

Surface Finish

The surface finish of a flange is also important. The standard specifies that the flanges should have a smooth and even surface finish to ensure proper sealing of the gasket. Any roughness or irregularities on the surface of the flange can lead to leaks in the piping system.

Bolt Hole Alignment

The bolt holes in a flange should be aligned properly to ensure the bolts can be inserted and tightened correctly. The bolt holes should be inspected to ensure they are in the correct position and are not misaligned.

Bolt Hole Size

The size of the bolt holes is also important. The standard specifies the size of the bolt holes based on the nominal size and pressure rating of the flange. The bolt holes should be inspected to ensure they are the correct size and are not damaged.

Bolt Hole Thread

The threads in the bolt holes are important to ensure the bolts can be screwed in and tightened properly. The threads should be inspected to ensure they are clean and free from any damage or defects. To inspect and measure nipoflanges, you will need a set of calipers or a micrometer to accurately measure the dimensions of the flange. It is also a good idea to have a torque wrench on hand to ensure that the bolts are tightened to the correct torque specification.

How to purchase the correct nipoflanges?

Are you in the market for nipoflanges but don’t know where to start? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. With so many options available, it can be overwhelming to choose the right flanges for your project. We’ll go over some key factors to consider when purchasing nipoflanges to ensure that you make the right decision.

Determine the Material Needed

The first step to purchasing the correct nipoflanges is to determine the material you need. These flanges are available in a variety of materials, including carbon steel, stainless steel, and alloy steel. The choice of material will depend on the specific application and environmental conditions. If you’re unsure which material to choose, consult with a qualified engineer or supplier to help guide you in making the right decision.

Identify the Flange Face Type

Flange face types refer to the surface finish of a flange, and there are many different types of flange face finishes, including flat face (FF), raised face (RF), ring-type joint (RTJ), tongue and groove (T&G), male and female face (M&F). Each type of flange face has its unique characteristics and is suitable for different applications.

• Flat face (FF): This type of flange face has a flat, smooth surface that is perpendicular to the axis of the pipe. It is typically used for low-pressure applications and when the sealing is achieved by a gasket.
• Raised face (RF): This type of flange face has a raised ring on the surface that surrounds the bolt holes. The ring provides a surface for the gasket to rest on, which helps to create a better seal. It is commonly used in applications with moderate pressure.
• Ring joint face (RTJ): This type of flange face has a specially designed groove to accommodate a metallic ring gasket. The groove is cut into the surface of the flange, and the gasket sits in the groove to create a tight seal. This type of flange face is typically used in high-pressure applications.
• Tongue and groove face (T&G): This type of flange face has a raised tongue on one flange and a matching groove on the other flange. The tongue fits into the groove, creating a tight seal without the need for a gasket. This type of flange face is often used in applications where high pressure and temperature are involved.
• Male and Female Face (M&F): This type of flange face is similar to the tongue and groove face. However, it has a male and female end which creates a face to face contact between two flanges. This type of flange is mainly used for low pressure and low temperature applications.

To identify a specific flange face type, you need to provide me with more information, such as the flange’s application, dimensions, and material.

Determine the Nipoflange Size and Pressure Class

Once you have identified the material and nipoflange type, the next step is to determine the size and pressure class of the nipoflange. nipoflanges are available in various sizes and pressure ratings, and it’s crucial to select the correct size and pressure class to ensure that the flange can withstand the intended operating conditions.
