Expander flanges are widely applied in piping systems to join pipes of varied sizes, allowing for smooth transition from one pipe size to another They find extensive application in oil, gas, and chemical transportation operations, power generation work, and water treatment. Expander flanges ensure that pressure variations are managed, thus lessening pressure stress on the system. They are well suited for operations where there is limited space and provision for flexibility during installation. Expansion flanges find application in heat exchanger, pump and compressor equipment for secure, leak-free connection while allowing temperature expansion and pressure variation.
