Understanding your choice of anchor flanges options
Anchor flange is the appearance form like bolted coupling of two butt-welded flanges combined together, eliminating the gasket, made into a whole forged steel flange. It is connected to oil and gas pipeline by welding, and fixed with anchor pile by its flange and flange body, so that it can be used for fixed pipeline connection, and is suitable for fixed connection of many process stations and line valve chamber. Anchor flange is an engineering component, in places with less pressure can be replaced by a short pipe with thrust ring, or called through the wall casing, for the requirements of buried or lifelong maintenance of fixed pipeline coupling, and requires a higher pressure, the use of conventional flange, can not ensure the safe and reliable work of high-pressure pipeline. When choosing an anchor flange for your project there are several things to consider: The size of the flange opening should match up with the pipe you wish to attach it too, so as not create any unnecessary stress on the connection point itself. You will want it made out of material that is durable enough withstand environmental conditions such as high temperatures or extreme cold without becoming brittle over time like cast iron might do under similar conditions (this may mean using stainless steel instead).
What are anchor flanges?
An anchor flange is a type of flange that is used to connect pipes, tubes and other parts together. It can also be known as an ear flange or a buttress flange. An anchor flange has three main components: the body (also called shell), the outer ring, and the inner ring. The body is threaded in order to accept pipe joints or other parts with different threads on either side of it. The outer ring has holes where bolts are placed through and tightened down in order to secure whatever material you have secured with your anchor flanges together securely.
Application of An anchor flange
An anchor flange is a type of flange that is attached to a pipe. It is used in various applications. It is used in the oil and gas industry, power generation industry and many other industries. The anchor flange is attached to the pipe with bolts.
Anchor flange features
Anchor flanges are a type of flange that can be used to connect pipes. An anchor ring is a raised ring on the pipe, which keeps it in place when connected to another pipe or fitting.
Uses of Anchor flange
Steel industry
Anchor flanges are used in the steel industry to seal off process systems and ensure the safe handling of gases and liquids.
Oil and gas industry
Anchor flanges are used in the oil and gas industry to seal off process systems and ensure the safe handling of gases, liquid, steam or other media.
Petrochemical industry
Anchor flanges are used in petrochemical plants for a variety of applications including compressing gases or liquids, removing contaminants from gases or liquids through filtration, vaporization or absorption processes. They may also be used for degassing reactors at elevated temperatures where atmospheric pressure does not apply.
Sizes for Anchor Flanges
Anchor flanges are typically available in 2-inch to 12-inch sizes. The size of anchor flange you choose will depend on the pipe size, application and other factors such as wall thickness and material. An anchor flange is installed on one end of a pipe to connect it to another fitting or device. Screws hold it in place while bolts secure them both together at the base so they can move up or down as needed during installation or operation.
Quality Standard for Anchor Flanges
To ensure a high-quality anchor flange, the standard for its production should comply with the approval of ASME B16.5 and ASME B16.47. It is also necessary to meet API6A standards in order to be considered a quality product. Additionally, the API 17D standard can help you assess the quality of your anchor flanges.
Materials of Anchor flanges
Anchor flanges are most commonly made of:
- Stainless Steel Anchor Flanges: ASTM A 182, A 240 F 304, 304L, 304H, 316, 316L, 316Ti, 310, 310S, 321, 321H, 317, 347, 347H, 904L
- Duplex & Super Duplex Steel Anchor Flanges: ASTM / ASME A/SA 182 F 44, F 45, F51, F 53, F 55, F 60, F 61
- Carbon Steel Anchor Flanges: ASTM / ASME A/SA 105 ASTM / ASME A 350 , ASTM A 181 LF 2 / A516 Gr.70 A36, A694 F42, F46, F52, F60, F65, F706
- Low Temperature Carbon Steel Anchor Flanges: ASTM A350, LF2, LF3
- Alloy Steel Anchor Flanges: ASTM / ASME A/SA 182 & A 387 F1, F5, F9, F11, F12, F22, F91
- Copper Alloy Steel Anchor Flanges: ASTM SB 61 , SB62 , SB151 , SB152 UNS No. C 70600 (Cu-Ni 90/10), C71500 (Cu-Ni 70/30), UNS No. C 10100, 10200, 10300, 10800, 12000, 12200
- Nickel Alloy Anchor Flanges: ASTM SB564, SB160, SB472, SB162 Nickel 200 (UNS No. N02200), Nickel 201 (UNS No. N02201), Monel 400 (UNS No. N04400), Monel 500 (UNS No. N05500), Inconel 800 (UNS No. N08800), Inconel 825 (UNS No. N08825), Inconel 600 (UNS No. N06600), Inconel 625 (UNS No. N06625), Inconel 601 (UNS No. N06601), Hastelloy C 276 (UNS No. N10276), Alloy 20 (UNS No. N08020)
You may also see anchors flanges made from titanium if you’re working on a really big project involving high temperatures or harsh chemicals like ammonia gas (which dissolves brass). You can buy these at your local hardware store; they come in different sizes depending on how wide your pipe needs to be installed inside another pipe before being secured with another piece called “pipe bushings.”
Anchor flanges are manufactured from a variety of materials, such as steel, cast iron, brass, aluminum and stainless steel. They can also be made from copper. The material you choose will depend on your needs and personal preferences. Steel is relatively inexpensive but heavy and strong; it may corrode over time if not treated properly. Cast iron is heavy but does not rust or corrode easily; however its density makes it difficult for workers to install on their own without special equipment or assistance. Brass is lightweight yet durable enough for general-purpose use; if exposed to weather conditions regularly however it may need frequent repainting due to oxidation (a chemical reaction between oxygen in the air and other substances contained within). Aluminum is lightweight yet sturdy enough for most applications; however its soft metal composition means that scratches may appear quickly during normal wear-and-tear related activities like usage over time along with improper handling during installation processes which could compromise durability levels significantly if not handled properly during installation procedures itself.”
Where can you get them?
Anchor flanges are available at most hardware stores and online. They come in a variety of sizes and can be used for a wide range of applications.
What are the different types of anchor flanges?
Anchor flanges are a type of flange that is used to secure piping. Anchor flanges offer many benefits, such as high-pressure and thermal resistance.
Types of anchor flanges
Rigid Flanges: These are designed to be used in concrete anchors. These are bolted onto the anchor and then filled with concrete, which means that they have a solid hold on the anchor. Guided Flange: This type of flange is similar to a rigid flange, except that it has an internal guide rail that allows for easy insertion into the anchor sleeve. The guide rail also helps ensure correct positioning during installation. Free-Standing Flanges: These types of flanges don’t require any additional hardware or materials aside from those needed for proper installation; they simply use bolts to attach themselves directly to the anchor sleeve without filling it with concrete first. They’re typically used when there aren’t any restrictions on where you can position an anchor relative to something else nearby (such as another building structure). Semi-Free Standing Flange: A semi-free standing flange is like a guided flange except that it doesn’t have an internal guide rail for easy insertion into the anchor sleeve—but instead requires physical force like hammering or drilling so that it can penetrate through both sides of said body material before being fastened securely by screws or bolts (which would then complete connection between said structures).
Dimensions of Anchor Flanges
The size of an anchor flange is determined by its outside diameter (OD). The OD size can range from 1/2 inch to over 24 inches. A variety of materials including carbon steel, stainless steel, galvanized steel and alloy steels can be utilized for making this type of product depending upon the application required. The following table provides the dimensions for anchor flanges. Outside Diameter (in) The outside diameter (in) is the distance across the flat or exterior surface of a flange, measured at its greatest diameter. Nominal Pipe Size The nominal pipe size is the pipe size that the manufacturer determines to be the standard. It is not the actual diameter of the pipe, but rather a number that is assigned to the pipe by its manufacturer. The nominal size can be calculated as follows:
Nominal Pipe Size = Nominal Wall Thickness × Outside Diameter or NPS = OD × wall thickness

Notes: 1) Calculated flange stresses are compliant to ASME VIII Div 1 rules. Also, flange thickness (t) complies with ASME VIII Div 1 Appendix 2 Section 2-14 Rigidity Check. 2) Thrust Load is calculated by: MAOP * b2 * π / 4
- MAOP = Maximum Allowable Operating Pressure
How to purchase the correct anchor flange?
You must ensure that you purchase the correct anchor flange for your project. The anchor flange is the part of the piping system that attaches to the wall and supports it. It’s a vital part of any piping system, and if it isn’t compatible with your pipe, it can cause problems. For example, if you buy an aluminum pipe but then use a steel-reinforced cement anchor flange, this could result in corrosion or cracking because these metals don’t bond well together. In addition, if you are using copper piping but don’t properly select an appropriate cement anchor flange, rusting can occur on both sides of the metal due to galvanic currents traveling through pipes due to dissimilar metals touching each other without insulation (which would provide protection from these currents). Failing to do so will result in problems. It is important to correctly purchase your anchor flange. The anchor flange is a vital part of the piping system and provides a strong, solid attachment point between the pipe and wall. You must ensure that you are purchasing the correct anchor flange for your particular project. If you fail to do so, this can result in problems like leaks or cracks in your pipes or walls that could cause damage over time. Purchasing an anchor flange that does not meet the requirements of your application will result in a loss of money and time for your project. If you order the wrong product, you will have to purchase another anchor flange, wait for delivery of the new anchor flange, pay labour to install the new anchor flange, and pay additional materials to install the new anchor flange. It is important that you understand what type of material your project requires before ordering a product. The following are some considerations when choosing an appropriate anchor: Understanding the type, size, and material of your anchor flange is important to know when purchasing one.
- Type: Anchor flanges are available in 2-bolt, 3-bolt, and 4-bolt configurations. The configuration is selected based on the size of the pipe being used. For example, a 2-bolt anchor flange can be used for 3″ to 6″ pipes whereas a 4-bolt anchor flange can be used for 10″ to 24″ pipes.
- Size: Different sizes of anchor flanges are available depending on the diameter of the pipe being installed. For example, if you’re installing a 3″ pipe then you’d need an 8″ x 5/8″ inch sized anchor flange but if instead you were installing an 8″ pipe then your best bet would be an 8″ x 7/8″” sized one (keep reading for more information about these measurements).
- Material: The material composition of these connectors also varies depending on their intended usage: extruded aluminum or cast iron connectors are popularly used in residential applications because they’re lightweight yet sturdy and resistant to corrosion; stainless steel connectors provide superior corrosion resistance but tend to weigh more than their counterparts due to their use of heavier materials like carbon steel which makes them ideal for aboveground applications where they won’t have much exposure over time.
Knowing these things will ensure that you purchase an anchor flange that meets all of your needs:
- Type of pipe.
- Size of pipe.
- Material of pipe.
- Application of pipe.
- Location of pipe.
In conclusion, you should purchase an anchor flange that meets all of your needs. The type, size and material of the anchor flange will have a large impact on its performance in the long run. When purchasing an anchor flange make sure that it fits into your project’s budget and meets all compliance requirements.
