Lined Reducing Flange typically features linings made from teflon materials such as PTFE, FEP, PFA or PVDF. The choice of lining material depends on factors like chemical compatibility, temperature, and pressure requirements.
PFA / PTFE Lined Reducing Flange
Freture Techno's PFA / PTFE Lined Reducing Flange are meticulously Manufactured to facilitate seamless transitions between pipes of varying diameters carrying Harsh Media without corrosion and leak. By maintaining a consistent flow path, Reducer flanges minimize turbulence and pressure loss, ensuring peak system performance. Available in concentric and eccentric designs, they offer precise control over the reduction process, accommodating specific pipeline configurations in industries such as chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, Food & beverages and power generation, where the safe transport of corrosive substances is critical.
A standout feature of this Teflon Lined Reducing Flange is their high-quality linings, crafted from materials such as PTFE / FEP / PVDF / PFA. These linings serve as robust barriers against aggressive chemicals, protecting the flange's corrosive metal body and connected equipment from corrosion. With a lining thickness of 3.5 mm (6.0 mm overall), they are built for durability and consistent performance, even in extreme environments. The smooth interior surface provided by the linings reduces friction, enabling efficient flow and contributing to energy savings and lower operational costs.
In industries like pharmaceuticals and chemical processing, where handling corrosive substances is routine, these PFA / PTFE Lined Reducing Flange is indispensable. Their chemical resistance ensures system integrity, while the non-stick properties prevent material buildup, reducing maintenance requirements. By extending the lifespan of equipment and lowering long-term maintenance expenses, Lined flanged Reducer contributes to sustainability by minimizing resource consumption and waste generation, aligning with environmental and economic goals.
