Used for connecting pipes and equipment, such as valves, pumps, tanks, strainers, or other connections that require assembly and disassembly. There are standards set for ease of use. Therefore, when selecting flanges, it is important to know the required size and standards.
German (European) standards for flanges are designed to withstand pressure according to the DIN standards, using Bar as the main unit of measurement. The pressure rating is represented by PN, such as PN6, which can withstand up to 6 Bar. The model designation also includes the size (Dimension) for reference, such as DN10(3/4) PN6, DN25(1”) PN40, etc.
JIS
JIS5K / JIS10K / JIS16K / JIS20K
JIS (Japanese Institute of Standard)
Japanese (Asian) standards for flanges are designed to withstand pressure in units of kgf/cm2, though they can generally be converted to Bar. For example, JIS5K can withstand up to 5kgf/cm2 or 5 Bar. The model designation typically includes the size (Dimension) for reference, such as JIS10K 25A(1”), etc.
ANSI
150P / 300P
ANSI (American National Standard Institube)
American standards for flanges feature varying pressure ratings, with the ANSI standard using PSI as the unit of measurement. For example, ANSI150 can withstand a maximum pressure of 150 PSI. The model designation typically includes the size (Dimension) for reference, such as ANSI150, ANSI300, etc.
