I-flange engajwayelekile luhlobo lwei-flangengokuphathelene nezinga likazwelonke noma izindinganiso zangaphandle. Ngoba indinganisoi-flangeayikwazi ukuhlangabezana nezidingo zokusetshenziswa kwezinye izikhathi ezikhethekile, kuyadingeka ukuguqula nokuthuthukisa izinga elithileama-flange. I-flange engeyona ejwayelekile ikhiqizwa, futhi kunezidingo ekwakhiweni kokungajwayelekilei-flange.
Amagobolondo emishini yamakhemikhali angenziwa ngokusakazwa,ukuqamba, noma i-welding, noma ngokwenza izingxenye eziningana bese uzihlanganisa ngoxhumano olutholakalayo. Lesi sakhiwo ngakolunye uhlangothi, ukusebenza kwenqubo yokuklama ekuvuleni izidingo zokuxhuma, ngakolunye uhlangothi kubuye kube ukwakhiwa, ukufakwa nokugcinwa kokulula. Kunezinhlaka eziningi zokuxhuma ezikhiphekayo emishinini yamakhemikhali, njengokuxhuma okunentambo, ukuxhumeka kwesokhethi nokuxhumeka kwe-flange.
Ngokombono wokuklama, uxhumano lwe-flange oluboshwe okufanele lucatshangelwe njengesistimu, kanye nokuvuza njengendlela yokuklama, kufanele kube okunengqondo, kodwa iminyaka eminingi umklamo wocwaningo ubonise ukuthi ngenxa yobunkimbinkimbi bokungahambi kahle kokusebenza kwe-gasket, isipiliyoni sincane. kunalesi sikhathi, ngakho manje umklamo we-flange usekelwe ekucabangeni kusuka emandleni, okungukuthi ukulawula ukucindezeleka kwe-flange kuwumklamo.

Ngokombono wokuklama, ama-flange angahlukaniswa ngezinhlobo ezintathu:
1. I-flange evulekile isho ukuthi i-flange ayigxilile ngokuqondile kugobolondo noma igxilile kodwa ayikwazi ukuqinisekisa ukuthi i-flange kugobolondo lilonke ukuthwala isakhiwo somthwalo webhawodi.
2. Okuphelelei-flange, okusho ukuthi, i-flange iyakhiwa noma iphonswe emzimbeni owodwa egobolondweni, noma ishiselwei-flangeisetshenziselwa ukuba umzimba owodwa egobolondweni.
3. Noma iyiphi i-flange, ngokombono wesakhiwo, le flange ixhunywe negobolondo lilonke, futhi ukuqina kubi kakhulu kune-flange jikelele.
Noma ngabe hlobo lunii-flange, indlela yokubala amandla okuklama kwayo ingabandakanya izinkinga ezimbili eziyisisekelo: enye iwukuthi izingxenye zesakhiwo sokuxhuma kwe-flange kumele zibe namandla anele. Okwesibili, ukuxhumana ngokwayo kufanele kuqinisekiswe ukuvala.
