Applications, features, materials and standards of universal flange rotary joints

A universal flange swivel joint is a device used to join pipes that has some unique applications, features, materials, and standards.

Application of universal flange rotary joint

Pipe connection: Universal flange rotary joints are mainly used to connect pipes in different directions or diameters so that they can rotate within a specific angle range.

Pipe Compensation: In piping systems, there may be a certain degree of deflection due to temperature changes or ground subsidence. Universal flange swivel joints can help compensate for these deflections.

Characteristics of universal flange rotary joint

Flexibility:

The universal flange rotary joint has a large rotation angle and can rotate in multiple directions, improving the flexibility of the piping system.

Anti-corrosion:

Anti-corrosion materials or surface treatments are often used to protect the durability of joints in wet or corrosive environments.

Pressure resistance:

It has good pressure resistance and can withstand a certain pressure in the pipeline system.
Easy to install: The design is simple and easy to install, which can reduce the difficulty of installation and maintenance.

Material of universal flange rotary joint

Cast Iron:

Cast iron is one of the common materials that provides good corrosion resistance and pressure resistance.

Stainless steel:

Stainless steel is suitable for environments with high corrosion requirements and has good mechanical properties.

Carbon Steel:

Carbon steel has good strength and corrosion resistance and is one of the commonly used manufacturing materials.

Generally speaking, universal flange rotary joints play an important role in connection and compensation in pipeline engineering.

By selecting appropriate materials and complying with relevant standards, they can be ensured to operate safely and reliably in various environments.
