A Demo on Vacuum Flange and Its Different Types

Intro of Vacuum Flange:


Out of the many types of flanges like Blind Flanges, weld-Neck flange, Threaded Flange, Socket Weld Flanges, Spectacle Flanges and Lap-Joint Flanges which are used, Vacuum flanges are those which are used to connect each other including vacuum chambers, vacuum pumps & tubing at the end of the tube end. The flanges are used not only for scientific applications but also for various types of industrial applications as well. 

This is mainly due to the fact that these flanges allow diverse pieces of equipment to interact through a physical connection. The vacuum flanges are also used for vacuum maintenance, monitoring & manipulation from outside the vacuum chamber. You probably might know that there are numerous flange standards which exist. These may be in terms of differences in ultimate pressure, size and ease of attachment.

Vacuum Flanges Types 


You might already be aware of the fact that the flange is one of the essential parts of connecting two pipes together throughout welding or bolts. Flanges vary largely on account of various factors. However out of them, the vacuum flange is one of the peculiar ones. Broadly speaking they could be categorized under three broad categories. These are as follows:

F /KF FLANGE:
When it comes to QF, it is called as Quick Flange. This is also the ISO standard quick release flange. It is also called by  some other names as well such as KF (Klein Flange) or NW- it is also known as sometimes DN. The designation of KF has been adopted by ISO & DIN.

QF or KF (Klein Flange) are made with a chamfered back surface which are attached with a circular clamp as well as an elastomeric o-ring which is mounted in a metal centering ring. It is usually available in a wide range of sizes. These are measured by the nominal inner diameter. As a result, there are some common model numbers are signed as DN16KF, DN25KF, DN32KF & DN40KF and so on.

CF FLANGE (ConFlat):
A large number of vacuum flange standards are available under vacuum flanges which are manufactured in India. Many manufacturers deliver customized flanges and other products throughout the world. The CF Flange is abbreviated as ConFlat and originally was known as CF Flange. 
It uses a copper gasket & knife-edge flange in order to achieve Ultra High Vacuum seal. If you are on the lookout for one of the best flange guards manufacturers in India then Indana Steel is one of the leaders in the field. We supply all types of flanges at the best prices.
ISO FLANGE:

This is another very popular flange. It is also known as LF, LFB, MF, or sometimes even just as ISO flange. You must take note that this kind of flange sometimes is also similar to the previously listed one at the point where the flanges are connected by both a centering ring and elastomeric o-ring. This type of flange is further sub -divided under two categories i.e. ISO-K and ISO-F flanges.

ASA FLANGE:
ANSI embraces a flange standard that is called as ASA. Moreover, these flanges are elastomeric o-ring. These flanges are ones which could be used for both vacuum as well as pressure applications. You would get to know about the size of flanges by the  inner diameter of the  flange or by the outer diameter .
In conclusion we hope we have been able to give you affair idea about Vacuum flanges. To know more about flanges and other industrial fasteners please visit our blog.

What is the most commonly used material for nuts and bolts?

Be it construction or any other major industry the role of nuts and bolts and other types of fasteners are critical. Thus they determine the overall strength and structure of the largest structures.  So in case you happen to have your business in the manufacturing or construction sector we are sure that you would be interested to know what the commonly used materials for nuts and bolts are. So let us understand the different types of materials used. The different types of fastener materials used Fasteners are made with   a wide variety of  of material s . These include everything from common steel to titanium, plastic and other exotic materials. Some of these materials are again separated into different grades. This is done to describe specific alloy mixtures, hardening as well as processes involved.  Apart from this some nuts and bolts are available with a variety of coatings or platings.   This is done to increase the resistance against corrosi...

Properties of HSFG Bolts

Bolts are extensively used as a fastener. They serve various purposes and there may be various types of bolts. We at  Indiana Steel  being in the steel business since long and are involved in the manufacture and supply of various kinds of fasteners includes bolts. Of the various types of bolts which are in use the HSFG bolts are widely used. These are on account of the properties they have. In this blog we will explain to you what they are and their properties and benefits of using them.   HSFG bolts what they are? How they are made? High Strength Friction Grip Bolts are popularly known are HSFG bolts. They are made from bars of medium carbon steel. These bolts have great strength. Their high strength is built through the process of quenching and tempering.  This process is also known as alloying steel. Steel washers of hard steel or carburized steel are provided to evenly distribute the clamping pressure on the bolted member and to prevent t...

Material Types For Flange Guard

Safety is one of the key requirements for many industries like chemicals and petrochemicals which require the transportation of hazardous chemicals. These can expose the working personnel and the equipment at the plant to considerable risks. Flange guards are safety shields which shield the working personnel and the surrounding equipment at such plants.  This is why their use has been mandatory in the industries of today. However while installing flange guards at your plant you must ensure that they of high strength, easy to install, offer great efficiency and must be of the best material which suits your need. We at   Indana Steel   being one of the leaders in manufacture and supply of different types of flange guards list some of the types of materials which are used for the manufacture guards. Flange guards: the materials used  Teflon You would usually find in the market flange guards which have a teflon coating. This helps the flange guards in i...
