Misalignment flanges are used as a connector for bolting together two misaligned pipelines. The basic principle of the Misalignment flange is a ball and socket arrangement, that provides the required angular misalignment whilst still maintaining parallel flange faces. This allows regular bolt tensioners be used for assembly. These flanges are usually designed and manufactured to...

The Compact flange provides everything that a standard flange does not – space saving, reduced weight and, perhaps most importantly, a guaranteed leak-free connection. The reduced dimensions of the compact flange are achieved by reducing the seal diameter, which in turn, reducesthe cross-section area of the seal faces. Second, the gasket is replaced by a...

By allowing full rotational adjustment to align flange bolt holes, the swivel ring flange greatly simplifies the final tie-in process. However, the simplicity of the swivel ring flange concept belies the fact that this specialized device must accommodate considerable tangential, shear, and rotational moment loads for installation and long-term service conditions. Alignment is an important...
