A V-clamp flange is a type of mechanical joint used to connect two pipes or components quickly and securely. Its distinctive feature is the presence of a V-shaped groove on both flanges, which is compressed by a V-shaped band when tightened. This configuration ensures a hermetic seal and high resistance to vibrations.
V-clamp Kit:
- Flanges: one male (EMNM) and one female (EMNF)
- V-band clamp (EMV), made of stainless steel
- Gasket placed between the two flanges to ensure a seal.
Advantages of V-clamp flanges
- Quick and easy assembly: no welding required and can be easily removed.
- Hermetic seal: the compression of the V-shaped groove ensures a perfect seal.
- Vibration resistance: the shape of the band and the compression of the flanges ensure a stable seal even under dynamic conditions.
- Lightweight: compared to traditional flanges, they are lighter and more compact.
Applications
- Exhaust systems: Automotive, motorcycles, marine.
- Pneumatic and hydraulic systems: Industry, agriculture.
- Chemical and food processing plants: Pharmaceutical sector, beverage production.
- Heating and ventilation systems: Air ducting.
Material
- AISI 304 stainless steel: High corrosion resistance, suitable for humid and aggressive environments.
- Gasket thickness 2mm, graphite
