3. Postavljanje i instalacija
Proper installation is paramount for the integrity of the flange connection. Always refer to the specific flange assembly instructions provided by the equipment manufacturer for torque specifications and bolt patterns.
- Priprema: Ensure that the flange surfaces are clean, free from debris, and undamaged. Inspect the bolts, nuts, and washers (if included) for any defects.
- Poravnanje: Carefully align the two flanges to be joined, ensuring that the bolt holes are concentric.
- Postavljanje zaptivke: If a gasket is required, place it correctly between the flange faces. Ensure it is properly seated and not pinched.
- Bolt Insertion: Insert the bolts through the flange holes. If washers are used, place them under the nut and/or bolt head as specified by the application.
- Nut Engagement: Hand-tighten the nuts onto the bolts. Ensure sufficient thread engagement.
- Torquing Sequence: Follow a star or cross-pattern sequence for tightening the bolts to ensure even compression of the gasket and uniform load distribution across the flange. Tighten in stages (e.g., 30%, 60%, 100% of final torque).
- Konačni obrtni moment: Use a calibrated torque wrench to apply the manufacturer's specified torque to each bolt. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the bolts, nuts, or flange, leading to failure.
Safety Note: Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) during installation, including gloves and eye protection. Consult relevant safety data sheets and local regulations.
4. Radna razmatranja
Once installed, the bolt flange connection is typically static. However, certain operational considerations are important:
- System Pressure/Temperature: Ensure the installed flange connection is rated for the operating pressure and temperature of the system.
- Vibracija: In high-vibration environments, periodic checks for bolt loosening may be necessary. Consider using locking washers or thread-locking compounds if specified by the application.
- Faktori okoline: Protect the connection from corrosive environments if the bolt material is not inherently resistant.
5. Održavanje
Regular inspection and maintenance are crucial for the long-term reliability of the flange connection.
- Vizuelni pregled: Periodically inspect the bolts, nuts, and flange for signs of corrosion, cracks, deformation, or loosening.
- Retorquing: After initial operation or significant temperature cycles, it may be necessary to retorque the bolts to the specified values. Consult equipment manufacturer guidelines.
- čišćenje: Keep the area around the flange connection clean to prevent accumulation of corrosive substances.
- Zamjena: If any component (bolt, nut, washer) shows signs of significant wear, damage, or corrosion, replace the entire kit or individual components with identical specifications. Do not reuse damaged fasteners.
6. Otkrivanje problema
Common issues related to bolt flange connections and potential solutions:
- curenje:
- Uzrok: Insufficient torque, improper gasket installation, damaged gasket, damaged flange face, uneven bolt tightening.
- Rješenje: Retorque bolts following the correct sequence and torque values. Inspect and replace gasket if necessary. Check flange faces for damage.
- Labavi vijci:
- Uzrok: Vibration, thermal cycling, improper initial torque.
- Rješenje: Retorque bolts. Consider using locking mechanisms (e.g., lock washers, thread-locking compound) if appropriate for the application.
- korozija:
- Uzrok: Exposure to harsh environments, incompatible materials.
- Rješenje: Clean and protect the connection. Replace corroded components. Consider using more corrosion-resistant materials or coatings for future applications if environmental conditions are severe.
