I-ANSI B16.5 lap joint flange iwuhlobo lwe-flange oluhambisana nezinga le-American National Standards Institute (ANSI) B16.5. Leli zinga lisungula ubukhulu, ukucaciswa kwezinto ezibonakalayo, nezinqubo zokuhlola zama-flange asetshenziswa ezinhlelweni zamapayipi.
I-lap joint flange iqukethe izingxenye ezimbili eziyinhloko: i-stub end kanye ne-backing flange. Isiphetho se-stub sishiselwe epayipini, kuyilapho i-flange esekelayo ishelela ekupheleni kwepayipi ngaphandle kokushiselwa. Lokhu kuvumela ukuqondanisa okulula kwe-flange futhi kusiza ukususwa okusheshayo nokulula noma ukujikeleza kwe-backing flange ngaphandle kokuphazamisa ukujoyina.
I-ANSI B16.5 lap joint flange ivamise ukusetshenziswa ezinhlelweni lapho kudingeka ukuhlakazwa noma ukulungiswa njalo, njengoba ivumela ukuqaqa nokuhlanganisa kabusha ipayipi. Lolu hlobo lwe-flange luvame ukusetshenziswa ezinhlelweni zamapayipi anengcindezi ephansi kanye nasezinhlelweni lapho kunesidingo sokushintsha njalo noma ukuzungezisa ama-flange.
Lawa ma-flange atholakala ezinhlobonhlobo zezinto, okuhlanganisa i-carbon steel, insimbi engagqwali, nensimbi ye-alloy, ukuze ivumelane nezimo zokusebenza nezidingo ezahlukene. Asetshenziswa kakhulu ezimbonini ezinjengokuhlanza amanzi, ukucubungula amakhemikhali, nokudla nesiphuzo.
Sengiphetha, i-ANSI B16.5 lap joint flange iyisixazululo esiguquguqukayo nesisebenzayo sezinhlelo zamapayipi ezidinga ukuhlanganisa nokuqaqa kalula, okuyenza ibe ukukhetha okudumile kwezinhlelo zokusebenza ezahlukahlukene zezimboni.
