Why is pipeline connectors popular instead of flanges

Why use pipe connectors instead of flanges?

Improve efficiency, save time and costs

(1) If it is a newly laid pipeline connector, the best economic results can be achieved in terms of manpower, material resources, and financial resources.

Quick repair has bought valuable time for emergency repairs and reduced losses

(2) Due to the special addition of repair specific types in product manufacturing, it will bring great convenience in repairing holes, cracks, and sand hole leaks.

The variety of materials and connection forms is complete, suitable for different media.

(3) Pipeline connectors are mainly classified into oil and gas NBR type and non oil and gas EPEM type based on the different conveying media in terms of sealing materials. Therefore, attention should be paid to selecting connectors for different purposes according to the actual site conditions.

No fire hazards, high safety factor

(4) Due to the absence of hidden dangers and dangers such as fire and explosion caused by heating and hot work, it can be used safely on various sites.

Low installation requirements, even in harsh installation environments

(5) There is no need to perform special smooth treatment on the pipeline end face at the construction site. As long as it is not deformed and the soil is wiped dry, installation and construction can be carried out.

Short installation time and limited installation space

(6) Installing a connector usually only takes about 10 minutes, especially when working in narrow spaces, its advantages are very obvious.

It has a good compensation effect on the deviation of the centerline of the installation pipe and the vibration of the pipe system.

(7) It can be used normally when there is a certain degree of misalignment or inclination between pipelines, and can also be effectively used in the presence of external impacts, vibrations, squeezing, thermal expansion and contraction, and can play a good role in noise reduction.

Reuse multiple times

(8) It has good reusability and is therefore more popular in temporary pipeline construction.

Unrestricted pipeline materials

(9) It is not affected by differences in pipeline materials and can be effectively used as long as the differences in pipe diameter and deflection angle are within the specified range.

Easy installation tools

(10) No auxiliary equipment is required for construction, as long as ordinary or hexagonal wrench is used to complete the construction operation.
