Oil, Gas and other
process industries.

Anchor flange is an important element in many thrust-control


systems, especially those protecting pipeline pumping or gas stations.
Welded into the line and encased in concrete, they immobilize the pipe
at predetermined locations and transfer built-up stresses to external structures.
 Restraining the movement of pipeline sections is a design factor that must be
considered particularly at points of directional change, connections to equipment at meter run
locations, at river crossings and for pipe runs at locations of discontinuity of restraint from the
earth surrounding the line.
 Forged steel anchor flanges are pressure retaining members that butt weld directly into the
pipeline and provide an integral "flange" which can transmit restraint from an anchor to the pipeline.
 The forces resulting from the restraining anchor are gradually
absorbed by the fitting without imposing a concentration of stresses on
the pipeline itself.
 Anchoring devices can be installed in many different ways to accomplish
partial or complete restraint to axial, vertical lateral or twisting forces. Most
commonly, they are embedded in a reinforced concrete pit or block.
 Anchor flanges are usually forged of carbon steel which can be heat
treated to equivalent mechanical properties as that of the mating pipe, or
can have the hub thickness (wall) at the welding ends made proportionally
thicker than that of the mating higher yield-strength pipe to compensate
for the slightly lower mechanical properties of the flange. This increase
in wall thickness does not result in any objectionable transition across
the weld and has proven itself in countless applications.
 Anchor flanges are used installations with a variety of operating
service conditions. For maximum economy, anchor flanges should be
designed specifically for each application, Accordingly, Namdaran Petrogas
Ind. Has established a design method which applies to specific service
conditions. These service conditions involve the thrust through which
the anchor and pipe will cycle and the allowable bearing stress that can
be maintained by the concrete adjacent to the anchor.
 Anchor flanges are manufactured to your specifications or we can
provide design service for your specific criteria.
 The materials supplied from overseas will bear the manufacturer test
report; materials that supplied from local market will bear the chemical
analysis and mechanical test report from reputable laboratory.
ORDERING INFORMATION
The design conditions determine the overall size and shape of the
finished flange. So in order to manufacture a flange that meets your
design criteria, the following information is required:
1) Design code
2) Matching pipe nominal size, grade and wall thickness
3) Design factor
4) Concrete strength
5) Maximum, minimum and installation temperature
6) Design pressure
