Kuthetha ukuthini umbhobho weflange?

Kwiimeko zemizi-mveliso yanamhlanje, igama elithi "umbhobho onombhobho" libaluleke kakhulu, limele into ebalulekileyo kwiiprojekthi ezahlukeneyo zobunjineli kunye nezokwakha. Kodwa uyintoni kanye kanye umbhobho oneflange, yaye kutheni ubalulekile? Masingene nzulu kwesi sihloko ukuqonda ukubaluleka kwaso.

Umbhobho onombhobho ubhekisela kuhlobo lwesixokelelwano sombhobho apho iziphelo zombhobho zixhotyiswe ngeeflange, ezizicaba, izakhiwo ezinjenge-disc ezinemingxuma yeebholithi. Ezi flange zisebenza ngeenjongo ezininzi, kubandakanywa imibhobho yokudibanisa, iivalve, kunye nezinye izixhobo, kunye nokubonelela ngokufikelela lula ukulungiswa nokulungiswa.

Enye yeenzuzo eziphambili zemibhobho ene-flanged kukuguquguquka kwazo kunye nokuhambelana kunye namacandelo ahlukeneyo eziseko zoshishino. Iiflange zivumela ukudibanisa okukhuselekileyo kunye nokuvuza phakathi kwemibhobho kunye nezixhobo ezahlukeneyo, ukuqinisekisa ukuhamba kakuhle kwamanzi okanye iigesi ngaphakathi kwenkqubo. Ngaphezu koko, ukusetyenziswa kweeflange kwenza kube lula ukudibanisa kunye nenkqubo yokuqhawula, ukuququzelela imisebenzi yokugcina kunye nokunciphisa ixesha lokuphumla.

Imibhobho ene-flanged ifumana ukusetyenziswa okubanzi kuluhlu olubanzi lwamashishini, kubandakanya i-oyile negesi, iikhemikhali zepetroli, unyango lwamanzi, ukuveliswa kwamandla kunye nokuvelisa. Kwicandelo le-oyile kunye negesi, umzekelo, imibhobho ene-flanged isetyenziswa kwimibhobho yokuthutha i-oyile ekrwada, igesi yendalo, kunye neemveliso ezisulungekisiweyo kumgama omde. Kwishishini lokucocwa kwamanzi, baqeshwe kwiinkqubo zemibhobho yokuhambisa amanzi acocekileyo kuluntu kunye nezixhobo zoshishino. Ngokufanayo, kwimizi-mveliso yamandla, imibhobho ene-flanged idlala indima ebalulekileyo kwiinkqubo zokujikeleza kwamanzi ngomphunga kunye nokupholisa.

Ukuthembeka kunye nokuqina kwemibhobho ene-flanged kubenza babaluleke kakhulu ekuqinisekiseni ukusebenza kakuhle kunye nokhuseleko lwemisebenzi yoshishino. Nangona kunjalo, njengalo naliphi na elinye icandelo leziseko ezingundoqo, ufakelo olufanelekileyo, ukugcinwa, kunye nokuhlolwa kubalulekile ukuze kwandiswe ukusebenza kwabo kunye nobomi obude.

Kutshanje, ukuhambela phambili kwemathiriyeli kunye nobuchule bokwenza izinto buye baphucula ngakumbi isakhono semibhobho ephothiweyo, iyenza ikwazi ukumelana nomhlwa, uxinzelelo oluphezulu, kunye namaqondo obushushu agqithisileyo. Ukongezelela, izinto ezintsha ezifana nobuso obuphakanyisiweyo kunye ne-ring-type joint flanges ziye zaphucula amandla okutywina, ukunciphisa umngcipheko wokuvuza kunye nokuqinisekisa ukukhuselwa kwendalo.

Ukuqukumbela, imibhobho eneflanged imele ikhonkco elibalulekileyo kwiziseko zophuhliso lwamashishini anamhlanje, iququzelela ukuhamba kakuhle nangokufanelekileyo kolwelo kunye neegesi ngelixa ibonelela ngokulula kofakelo nokugcinwa kwayo. Njengoko imizi-mveliso iqhubeka nokuvela kwaye isanda, imfuno yeenkqubo zemibhobho ethembekileyo neziguquguqukayo kulindeleke ukuba ihlale yomelele, iqhubele phambili ukuveliswa kwezinto ezintsha kunye nophuhliso kweli candelo libalulekileyo.
