| The Anchor flange is a one-piece combination reducer and welding neck flange designed expressly for effecting pipe size increases at flanged connections to pumps, valves, compressors and other equipment. It provides a more compact, more efficient and frequently a more economical means than is permitted by the conventional two-piece combination of a concentric reducer and welding neck flange. |
| Anchor flanges are used to restrain pipeline movement caused by thermal expansion changes or external forces. The most common method of securing an anchor flange is to embed it into a concrete thrust block, thereby spreading the pipeline forces throughout a large foundation. However, anchor flanges can be secured in other ways as necessary to overcome the axial force in the pipeline. |
