Outside Diameter (mm) – 6, 8, 10, 16, 15, 19.3, 23, 26

Overall Length (mm) – 5.5, 5.9, 8, 8.8, 9, 11, 16.5, 18, 20, 21.5

Advantages:

1.     Exceptional Material Composition: TPI flanges are crafted from a blend of high-temperature-resistant polymers, wear-resistant compounds, and friction-reducing additives. This amalgamation imparts remarkable durability and resilience, enabling the flanges to withstand extreme conditions such as high temperatures, intense pressure, and rapid scraping motions without succumbing to structural compromise.

2.     Low Gas Permeability: TPI flanges exhibit low gas permeability, particularly beneficial in high vacuum environments. This feature ensures the maintenance of a gas-tight seal, thereby preventing the loss of valuable gases and the ingress of contaminants, thereby enhancing operational efficiency and safety.

3.     Excellent Chemical Resistance: TPI flanges demonstrate outstanding resistance to corrosion and degradation from a wide array of chemicals and solvents. This resistance not only prolongs the lifespan of the flanges but also mitigates the risk of chemical leaks or reactions, bolstering safety and reliability.

4.     Mechanical Stability: Dimensional stability is a hallmark of TPI flanges, allowing them to maintain precise tolerances even in fluctuating conditions. This stability ensures consistent performance and facilitates seamless integration into complex systems where precision is paramount.

5.     Electrical Insulation: With low electrical conductivity, TPI flanges are well-suited for applications requiring electrical insulation. This property minimizes the risk of electrical faults or interference, enhancing overall system safety and reliability.

6.     Oil-Free Operation: TPI flanges, constructed from plastic, are suitable for rotational use in oil-free environments. Their robust design and material composition enable efficient operation without the need for lubrication, thereby reducing maintenance requirements and contributing to a cleaner working environment.

7.     Long Service Life: Thanks to their exceptional durability and resistance to wear, TPI flanges offer an extended service life. This longevity translates into cost savings for end-users by reducing the frequency of part replacements and minimizing downtime associated with maintenance activities.

Applications:

1.     Manufacturing: TPI flanges are integral components in manufacturing processes where high temperatures, pressure, and abrasive conditions are prevalent, such as in injection moulding, extrusion, and machining operations.

2.     Aerospace: These flanges find application in aircraft engines, where they endure extreme temperatures, pressures, and dynamic forces while maintaining reliability and performance.

3.     Automotive: TPI flanges are used in automotive manufacturing for engine components, exhaust systems, and transmission assemblies, where their durability and resistance to heat and wear are essential.

4.     Chemical Processing: In chemical processing plants, TPI flanges are deployed in pipelines, valves, and fittings, where they withstand corrosive chemicals and maintain integrity over extended periods.

5.     Electronics: TPI flanges serve as insulating components in electronic devices and equipment, providing protection against electrical interference and ensuring reliable performance.

6.     Oil and Gas: These flanges are utilized in oil and gas extraction and refining processes, where they withstand harsh operating conditions and maintain sealing integrity in pipelines and processing equipment.

In summary, TPI flanges represent a pinnacle of engineering excellence, offering a multitude of advantages that make them indispensable across various industries. From their exceptional material properties to their versatility in applications, TPI flanges continue to drive innovation and efficiency in critical industrial processes worldwide.
