Adaptor Backing Flanges

Adaptor Backing Flanges are specialized cast iron flanges designed to connect glass ends to flanges with different bolt patterns or configurations. They serve as transition pieces, bridging mismatched flange geometries while maintaining mechanical support and alignment.

These flanges are particularly suited for joining glass or PTFE bellows assemblies to non-glass equipment, such as glass-lined reactors, metal process hardware, or modular industrial setups.

• Bridges different flange patterns seamlessly
  
• Maintains mechanical stability and alignment
  
• Ideal for glass-to-metal or PTFE-to-metal connections
  
• Supports vacuum and mild pressure environments

Adaptor Backing Flanges Overview

• Adaptor backing flanges provide a critical transition function in glassware and process systems:
• Connect glass ends to flanges with different bolt patterns
• Enable integration of glass or PTFE assemblies with metal or glass-lined equipment
• Maintain structural support similar to standard backing flanges
• Reduce assembly errors and misalignment when standard flanges are incompatible

These flanges ensure that modular pipelines, reactors, and chemical process units can be assembled efficiently, even when equipment standards differ.

Key Technical Parameters – Adaptor Backing Flanges

• Material: Cast iron for strength, rigidity, and durability
• Compatibility: Bridges differing bolt patterns and flange geometries
• Mechanical Strength: Withstands axial and bending loads transferred through the coupling
• Dimensional Options: Available in various DN sizes, bolt circle diameters (PCD), and thicknesses
• Insert Use: Paired with split-ring inserts or PTFE gaskets to ensure a leak-proof connection
• Customization: Flanges can be supplied pre-drilled or undrilled to match customer mating components

Applications of Adaptor Backing Flanges

• Glass-lined reactors and metal process equipment
• PTFE bellow connections with non-standard flange sizes
  
• Modular glass piping and chemical process networks
  
• Pilot plants, R&D, and laboratory setups requiring flexible connections
  
• Retrofit or repair of existing installations where flange geometries differ

Adaptor backing flanges are critical wherever flange patterns or standards mismatch, ensuring safe, stable, and leak-proof connections.
