Literature Review:
Introduction
Flanges are used when the piping joint needs dismantling. These are used
mainly at equipment’s, valves and specialties. In certain pipelines where
maintenance is a regular feature, breakout flanges are provided at
definite intervals. A flanged joint is composed of three separate and
independent although interrelated components; the flanges, the gaskets
and the bolting. Special controls are required in the selection and
application of all these elements to attain a leakproof joint. A Pipe
Coupling, used in piping or plumbing, is a very short length of pipe or tube
with either socket or female pipe threads at one or both ends that allows
two pipes or tubes of equal or different sizes to be joined together.
Couplings are pipe fittings that help to extend or terminate pipe runs.
These fittings are also used to change pipe size. It’s also used to repair a
broken or leaking pipe.
Objectives:
1) They are ideal for small diameter piping applications.
2) They are economical and time saving devices.
3) These threaded flanges are normally designed for non-cyclic
applications.
4) The flanges are suitable to be used in applications where welding is
hazardous.
5) They can be used in highly explosive areas.

Manufacturing Details:
Threaded flange is connecting with pipe without welding. It is similar
to slip on flange or a socket weld flange, fitted with a tapered thread
(screw) inside the flange bore that is mounted on the pipe with
corresponding external threads. In some cases a seal weld also
applied in conjunction with threaded pipe flange.

Pipe Fitting:
Size = ¼ inche
Material = CS Elbow
bend angle = 90 degree End connection
pipe = Threaded
 Standard: ASTM A105, ASTM A182
Material: Carbon Steel, Stainless
Steel, Alloy Steel, Cast Iron
Size Range: 1/2'', 1'', 2'', 3'', 4'' to
24''
Pressure Class: Class 150 to 2500
Face: Raised face (RF), Ring type
joint (RTJ)

Though threaded pipe flange is available in different dimensions, threaded

fittings mostly is used in small diameters pipeline. (Below 4 inch normally.)

On the other hand, it is not compatible with a pipe system in thin wall
thickness, since there is no space for doing the threading.

Threaded Flange Types

There are two types of threaded flanges. One is to seal the two pipe ends with
a certain sealing surface and a lens pad. This type of flange is mostly used for
ammonia production. But it has been used less recently, and the lens pad has
been replaced by a metal ring.

The other type is the same as a normal flange, sealed with two flange sealing
faces.

Facing Types
There are two facing types for threaded flange, raised face flange and ring joint
flange.
Raised Face Threaded Flange
When the gasket surface area is above the bolted line of the flange, the raised
face flange is easily identified. It is compatible with a wide range of gaskets,
from flat to semi-metallic and metallic types, either ring or full.

The main scope of a raised face flange design is to concentrate the pressure of
the two mating flanges on a small surface and increase the strength of the seal.

The height of the raised face surface depends on the flange pressure level, for
example, for pressure classes 150 and 300, the height is 1.6 mm or 1/12 inch,
and for the 400 to 2500 level, the raised face height is about 6.4 mm, or 1/4
inch.

RTJ Threaded Flange

The ring joint flange has a circular groove to accommodate the ring joint
gasket, which can be used when metal to metal seals are required. Especially in
conditions for high pressure and high temperature.
Referred Standard and Grades
ASTM A105: Standard forged carbon steel pipe components for environmental and high
temperature / high pressure systems.
ASTM A182: The standard for alloy and stainless threaded flanges. Common alloy grades: F5,
F9, F11, F22, F91; Stainless steel grades: F304, 304/, F316, F316L.

Convenient Installation and Maintenance

The threaded flange is screwed to the threaded pipe by the thread, which is
processed in the inner hole of the flange. So It does not need to be welded.
Therefore, it became so convenient for installation and maintenance
comparing with other flange types, such as slip on flange, socket weld flange
etc.

Application in Special Circumstance

Threaded flanges are used where it is difficult to weld or cannot be welded,
such as threaded flanges used to protect the galvanized layer of pipes. In
addition, It should not be used on pipes with repeated temperature
fluctuations or above 260 ℃ and below -45℃ as well.

In ASME B31.3 standard it defines:

Where steel pipe is threaded and used for steam service above 250 psi or for
water service above 100 psi with water temperatures above 220° F, the pipe
shall be seamless and have a thickness at least equal to schedule 80 of ASME
B36.10.

Measurement
If threaded pipe flange can be measured accurately, following data shall be required:

• O: Outside Diameter of flange

• C: Thickness of flange
• R: Diameter of raised face
• X: Hub Diameter at base
• Y: Length through hub
• T: Minimum thread length
Key Features:
• No welding is required.
• Good for small pipe sizes.
• Should be avoided for larger loads, especially when subjected to higher torque.

Advantages:

• They are ideal for small diameter piping applications

• These threaded flanges are normally designed for non-cyclic applications.
• The flanges are suitable to be used in applications where welding ishazardous.
• If the need of the hour is to change the direction of the pipe, then elbow pipe fittings
are used
• These are available in different angle measurements like 900, 450, 22.50.

Disadvantages:

• When the temperature of the pipeline changes sharply or is higher than 260 C and
lower than - 45 C, it is recommended not to use threaded flanges to avoid leakage.
• In addition to this, if the attachment pipe is of the same diameter then normal elbow
threaded pipe fittings are used else reducer elbow is used.
• The usage ensures that the pipe reaches any place in the unit withoutany hassles.

Outputs of micro-project:

We learn and manufacture the threaded flange,and elbow pipe and their uses or
advantages/ disadvanteges.

Skills Developed/ Learning Outcomes from project:

• This microproject is expected to developed the following

• skills for the industry identified competency.
• Basic knowledge.
• Observation skills.
• Leadership.
• Management skills.
Application of micro-project:

• Threaded flanges are not suitable for pipes that have a thin wall
thickness.
• increase the flange’s integrity.
• reduce the likelihood of leakage.
• joint more difficult to assemble and disassemble (because the weld
• makes it a permanent joint).
• pressure class 300 and below.
• more prone to leakage.
• susceptible to damage if flange misalignment occurs.
• poor choice for hazardous systems.

Conclusion:

By performing this project we had learnt the design of a threaded flange

coupling, analysis of a flanged coupling manufacturing & the safe arrangement
of it. Moreover its application in our practical life were also known. In future it
will be helpful for us choose the right coupling amoung various types of
couplings. The availability of the different types of pipe fittings has made the
job of piping and plumbing easy with little hassles regarding where to connect
and how to connect to take the pipe from one place to another. The usage
opens doors to several industries.
