Question 1

What is Anchor Flange?

Accepted Answer

An Anchor flange is a forged fitting that has a similar appearance to a weld neck flange. It is shaped like a pipe flange but anchors in pipelines. These flanges are placed inside reinforced concrete blocks and are used explicitly in pipelines to control the forces caused by thermal expansion/contraction and thrust. The weight of an anchor flange is typically determined based on two weld neck flanges of the same size.

Question 2

How to install an anchor flange in the piping system?

Accepted Answer

To install an anchor flange securely in a pipeline, first weld it to the two pipes. Then, pour concrete around the anchor flanges and the pipeline, ensuring the anchor flange is sealed in the cement. The neck thickness and diameter of the anchor flange should match the pipe dimensions for welding.
