37 Degree Flare Flange is a system based on flaring the pipe ends to 37 degree and utilizing internal cones (with O-rings) and flanges for the assembly.
The flange is slipped onto the pipe before flaring. After flaring, the cones are located into the pipe. The O-Ring face cone with the O-Ring seal mates with the flat face cone. Both the cones have back-up O-Rings. Bolting the connection together draws the flared pipe and cone in contact with each other providing an elastomer seal at the flare and at the face.
The flanges can be rotated prior to bolting thus eliminating the need to be concerned about the axis of the pipe on which the fitter aligns the flange holes. At times, it also allows the flange cap screws to be installed in more confined spaces. Pipe flaring is an easy to implement process. Learn more on how flaring is done.
37 Degree flare flange system is used for pipes of sizes ranging from ½” to 8”. This is considered to be a fool proof solution for comparatively thin walled pipes. They can withstand pressures of up to 6000 psi. The standard connection styles offered conform to SAE Cd 61 (ISO 6162 -1), SAE Cd 62 (ISO 6162-2), ISO 6164 4-bolt flanges along with TMI® 8-bolt, 9-bolt proprietary flanges. Other flange patterns are also be available. TMI has in-house developed a Flaring machine to meet the required standard of 37 Degree flare flange. The operation is simple and the machine operator needs basic training to operate the equipment which will be provided by our in house installation team.
Benefits of 37 Degree Flare Flange System
- Unlike welded flanges, Tube-Mac® flare flanges rotate freely around the pipe for easy bolt alignment.
- The flaring and installation time is measured in minutes versus hours for a welded connection.
- The non-welded flare flange technology is clean, preventing contamination from being introduced into the piping systems.
- The flare flange system is a fast and clean solution for connecting pipes, requiring less time to commission and oil flush the system.
- The non-welded leak-free flange connection offers a significantly reduced overall installed cost when compared to a welded piping system
