WHAT IS EXHAUST FLANGE?
Flange is a part with several fixing holes in the periphery of a disc-like metal body for connecting other things. Flange is an important part commonly used in modern machinery industry. So what are the functions of automobile exhaust flanges?
1. Introduction of Exhaust Flange
A flange is a part used to connect pipes, fittings or equipment. The flange connection is more convenient to use and it can withstand greater pressure. The wheelbase will increase after the car is fitted with a flange. In this way, when the car passes the curve quickly, the roll of the vehicle body can be reduced, and the speed of cornering can be increased accordingly.
Automobile exhaust flange is a type of flange installed on the car. The exhaust pipe flange is a part that connects the pipes. It is one of the key parts in the manufacture of automobile exhaust pipes and widely used in production.
2. Function of Exhaust Flange
The exhaust flange is a part that connects the pipes, and is generally connected to the pipe end. Flanged pipe fittings are made by casting, and can also be made by screwing or welding. The flange joint consists of a pair of flanges, a gasket and several bolts and nuts. The flange of the exhaust pipe is bolted through the eyelet during work, so that the two flanges are tightly connected. The flanges are sealed with gaskets. After tightening the nuts, the specific pressure on the gasket surface will deform when it reaches a certain value, and fill up the unevenness on the sealing surface to make the connection tight. Flange connection is an important connection method for pipeline construction, which is also easy to use and can withstand large pressures.
Generally speaking, the role of the automobile exhaust flange is to fix and seal the joints of automobile pipes. It is the part that connects the pipe fittings on the car to each other and is connected to the end of the pipe fitting. There are holes in the car flange, which can be bolted to tightly connect the two flanges. The car flanges are sealed with gaskets.
3. How to Replace Flange
(1) First of all, we must check the on-site process, clear the obstacles around the site, prepare tools and new flange gaskets that meet the specifications to ensure that the work site is qualified and up to standard.
(2) Operators should wear labor protection and pay attention to safety during operation.
(3) Invert the process to release pressure. We need to close the upstream valve and downstream valve before opening the empty valve. Then we need to remove the flange screws, take out the old flange gasket, and clean the flange.
(4) When replacing the new flange gasket, we need to put it in an accurate position.
(5) Finally, we need to tighten the screws diagonally.
Although the exhaust flange is just a small part in a car, it also plays a huge role in automobile exhaust system.
