Vertical Multistage Pump Flange
The flange is an important mechanical connection component used to connect vertical multistage centrifugal pumps to piping systems. Flanges installed at the pump suction and discharge connections help establish secure and reliable connections between the pump and the pipeline.
Using a compatible flange during the installation, maintenance and repair of Meltek MV-MVS vertical multistage pumps is important for maintaining connection integrity, mechanical stability and system sealing performance.
Functions of the Pump Flange
-
Connects the pump suction or discharge port to the piping system.
-
Provides a secure mechanical connection between the pump and pipeline.
-
Supports leak-tight connections when used with suitable gaskets and fasteners.
-
Facilitates pump installation and maintenance procedures.
-
Helps maintain reliable fastening at connection points.
Applications and Spare Part Selection
Depending on operating conditions, pump flanges may experience corrosion, mechanical stress or deformation of their sealing surfaces. Damaged flanges can lead to leakage and installation difficulties.
When selecting a replacement flange, the pump model, connection diameter, pressure rating, bolt-hole configuration, material specifications and piping connection standards should be considered.
