About Nipoflange
A Nipoflange is a specialized type of flange that combines the features of a weld neck flange and a pipe nipple (or pipe stub). It consists of a flange with a protruding, threaded or plain end that resembles a pipe nipple. This design allows for easy connection to a pipeline while also providing the structural integrity and sealing capabilities typical of a flange. Nipoflanges are used in piping systems where space constraints or design considerations require a compact and efficient solution that minimizes potential leak points and simplifies installation.
The main components of a Nipoflange typically include:
-
Flange: The main body of the Nipoflange, which is designed to be welded to the pipe or fitting in the piping system. It has standard flange dimensions and features such as bolt holes for securing it to another flange or a mating component.
-
Nipple: The protruding end of the Nipoflange, which resembles a pipe nipple. This part allows for the connection of pipes, valves, or other components either by welding or threading, depending on the design.
-
Welding Hub: The section of the Nipoflange where the flange and the nipple are joined together. This area is crucial for ensuring the structural integrity and leak-tightness of the joint.
-
Bolt Holes: Typically found on the flange part of the Nipoflange, these holes are used to align and secure the Nipoflange to another flange or a mating component using bolts.
-
Gasket Surface: The flat facing on the flange where a gasket is placed to ensure a tight seal between the Nipoflange and the mating flange or component.
