Differences between Flange Adapter and Dismantling Joint

Flange adapters and dismantling joints are common pipeline connectors, but they have differences in structure, application scenarios, and usage methods.

1、Structure

A flange adapter is composed of components such as flanges, sealing gaskets, bolts, etc. It generally adopts a symmetrical structure and has the characteristic of double-sided connection. The flange face of a flange adapter presents a smooth or flanged form and is commonly used to connect pipes or equipment.

A dismantling joint is composed of two pipe connection heads, sealing gaskets, clamps, etc., one of which is a male head and the other is a female head, commonly used for dismantling and replacing pipe connections.

2、Application scenarios

Flange adapters are suitable for larger pipeline connections, such as water supply pipes, chemical pipelines, etc. They have high pressure resistance and corrosion resistance, and are usually used to connect pipes or equipment of the same type.

Dismantling joints are suitable for connecting smaller pipelines, such as gas pipes, kitchen drainage pipes, etc. They have the characteristics of easy disassembly and replacement, simple operation, etc. They are usually used to connect heterogeneous pipelines or equipment.

3、Usage method

The flange adapter requires the use of specialized flange bolts for fastening, which poses a certain installation difficulty and requires the use of professional tools and skills.

Dismantling joints can be connected by simple clamping, easy to install, and do not require the use of professional tools and skills. They can be disassembled and replaced at any time.
