Now that metric flange bolts are listed on the fastener market, they are very popular with consumers. So what are the advantages of metric flange bolts over other bolts? Let’s take a look at the advantages of metric flange bolts together.
1. A flange is a connection device for two large-diameter pipes, usually two flange pieces plus several fastening bolts. Carbon steel flanges are flanges made of carbon. Low-carbon steel has good plasticity and low strength. After adding an appropriate amount of carbon element, it will become hard, and the plasticity will decrease and the strength will increase.
2. Flange connection may need to withstand high tensile, compression, torsion and shear strength. Carbon steel flange is a better choice. The determination of the nominal pressure should not only be based on the maximum working pressure, but also based on the maximum working temperature and material characteristics, not only need to meet the nominal pressure is greater than the working pressure.

3. The metric flange bolt connection is a fastener connection. Compared with other connection methods, it has advantages, convenient assembly and disassembly, convenient maintenance, can increase the pre-tightening force to prevent loosening, and will not cause phase changes in the material composition of the connection .
However, it also has disadvantages, it increases the weight, and it is prone to corrosion at the gap of the bolt connection, which causes the connection to fail.
4. The metric flange bolts have a large contact surface and are used in combination with tapered and spherical gaskets, mainly for fixing two non-parallel parts.
5.Bolt connection is generally divided into two cases:
One is to withstand the shear force of the section.
Another is to withstand axial tension. From the application perspective, there are more connections that can withstand tension. And it is limited to applications that can be disassembled. The advantage is that it is convenient to assemble and disassemble, and the disadvantage is that it is easy to fail and needs to be pre-tightened and anti-loosened in places with large forces.
The above is the introduction of the advantages of metric flange bolts. I hope that everyone understands the advantages of metric flange bolts and will help you choose to use metric flange bolts.
