Precautions during the installation of butt-weld flanges
The installation of butt-weld flanges can be summarized in eight words: check rigorously, align precisely, weld through completely, and tighten evenly. Before installation, strictly check the specifications and sealing surfaces. During assembly, ensure coaxiality, perpendicularity, gap and edge deviation meet the standards. During welding, guarantee the quality of the primary weld and conduct flaw detection. During tightening, apply force symmetrically and crosswise evenly, and perform hot tightening after operation. By strictly adhering to these requirements, common problems such as leakage, loosening, and weld cracking can be effectively avoided, ensuring the long-term safe operation of the pipeline system.
