WHAT MAKES RFS SQUARE FLANGE SAFE IN SHIP BUILDING AND REPAIR APPLICATION?

 Ship building is the construction of ships, barges, and large vessels in a specialized facility known as a shipyard. The shipyard typically includes dry docks, berthing positions, shipbuilding positions, workshops and warehouses.

Shipbuilding is one of the most complex manufacturing industries as the number of activities and workmanship to conceptualize, build, deliver and maintain a ship is enormous. They required many aspects outside of the pure engineering of the ship to meet construction resources, delivery, maintenance and operation of the ship to meet client expectations in the most efficient way possible. Therefore, the RFS square flange as the ship material building is critical to ensure the working pressure and temperature fulfill the ship expectation. This is to ensure the people on ship are not exposed to any system burst risk.  ​

Small pipe diameter requires a reliable connection to weld the pipe and square flange. The pipe outer diameter has to be inserted into the recessed area of the square flange to allow fluid flow through the pipe.

Advantanges of RFS square flange:​

1.     Applicable for high pressure systems 210kg/cm², 280kg/cm², 350kg/cm².
2.    O-ring sealing in between both sides to prevent leakage. 
3.    Fewer potential leakage points as both o-ring and flat face is tightened with bolts and nuts. ​
