An "Iron Casting Connection Flange" is a component made from cast iron, primarily used for connecting pipes and other components in various systems. It's a ring-like structure with holes for bolts, allowing for mechanical connections. Flanges enable joining pipes, connecting pipes to valves, and securing equipment, all through bolting and often sealing with gaskets. 

Key Features And Uses:

Material:

Primarily made of cast iron, offering strength and durability. 

Function:

Used to connect pipe sections, join pipes to other equipment (like valves, pumps, and vessels), and can also be used as blind flanges to terminate a pipeline. 

Connection:

Uses bolting, often with a gasket for sealing, to ensure a tight and leak-proof connection. 

Applications:

Found in industrial applications, plumbing, and various other systems requiring pipe connections. 

Types of Iron Casting Flanges:

Weld Neck Flange: Designed to be welded directly to the pipe.

Slip-On Flange: Can be slipped onto a pipe and then welded.

Blind Flange: A flange that closes a pipe end.

Threaded (Screwed) Flange: Has threads for easy connection with threaded pipes.

Socket Weld Flange: Socket for welding the pipe in place.

Lap Joint Flange: Designed to be used with a lap joint to connect to the pipe. 

Advantages of using Iron Casting Flanges:

Durability: Cast iron provides a robust and long-lasting connection.

Strength: Suitable for use in high-pressure applications.

Ease of Connection: Bolting allows for easy assembly and disassembly.

Versatility: Various types of flanges cater to different connection needs.
