Classification system

1. Classified by structural form

Integral titanium flange: The flange is integrally formed with the equipment/pipeline, suitable for high-pressure and high-temperature scenarios.

Welded titanium flange: Connecting pipes by welding, matching the pipe wall thickness, used for high-pressure systems.

Flexible titanium flange: composed of flange rings and flanges, easy to disassemble, suitable for pipelines that require frequent maintenance.

Threaded titanium flange: commonly used for low-pressure, small-diameter pipelines through threaded connections.

Socket welding titanium flange: fixed by socket welding, suitable for small diameter medium and high voltage systems.

Flat welding titanium flange: divided into plate flat welding and neck flat welding, suitable for medium and low voltage scenarios.

2. Classified by connecting components

Container titanium flange: Used for pressure vessel interfaces, it must meet sealing and pressure requirements.

Titanium pipe flange: used for connecting pipeline systems, it needs to be adapted to the size and pressure rating of the pipeline.

3. Classification of sealing surface forms

Protruding surface: the most common, suitable for medium and low pressure.

Concave convex surface: enhances sealing performance, used in high-pressure or vibration environments.

Mortise and tenon surface: high-precision sealing, used for special working conditions.

Ring connection surface: suitable for ultra-high pressure systems.

Standard system

1. International standards

ASME standards: including B16.5 and B16.47, covering pressure ratings and dimensions.
