JIS B2291 Square Flanges

Leave us a message​

Description

JIS B2291 Square Flanges are square flanges manufactured according to Japanese standard JIS B2291. This is a special type of flange that has a square shape instead of a round shape like normal flanges. They are mainly used in piping systems where it is necessary to connect different pipes or equipment together firmly and safely.

Applications

JIS B2291 Square Flanges are widely used in many different industries and systems, including:

  • Oil and Gas Industry: Connecting oil and gas pipelines.
  • Chemical industry: Used in chemical piping systems with high pressure and temperature.
  • Energy industry: Applications in power plants, thermal power plants and hydropower plants.
  • Construction industry: Used in water supply and drainage systems, HVAC systems.
  • Machinery Industry: Connecting parts of industrial machinery and equipment.

Standards

JIS B2291 standard defines the requirements for dimensions, materials, and technical features of Square Flanges. Here are some key points of the standard:

  • Dimensions: According to JIS B2291 standard, with specific dimensions depending on system requirements. Including nominal dimensions (Nominal Size) of flange, thickness (Thickness), and bolt hole diameter (Bolt Hole Diameter).
  • Materials:  Stainless Steel, Carbon Steel, and other alloys.
  • Surface: Can be flat face (FF) or raised face (RF).
  • Bolt holes: Symmetrical arrangement for easy assembly and disassembly.
  • Quality Control: Includes inspection and testing procedures to ensure flanges meet technical and safety requirements.
  • Machining: Precision machining is required to ensure easy and tight assembly.
