Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a flange, in particular to a universal flange for verification and calibration of a flange-type pressure gauge, belonging to the technical field of equipment detection. Background Art

[0002] Flange-type pressure gauges, due to their stable structure and excellent sealing performance, are widely used in industrial fields, particularly in applications requiring precise pressure measurement, such as in the petrochemical, electric power, and machinery manufacturing industries. These pressure gauges are typically connected to pipelines or equipment via flanges. Special flange fasteners are fitted at the lower end, and a seal (containing hydraulic fluid) is located at the center to transmit the pressure signal. Before using flange-type pressure gauges in laboratories or industrial sites, they must be calibrated and verified to ensure measurement accuracy and precision. Since flanged pressure gauges come in a wide variety of models and specifications, and their flange sizes vary, it is necessary to process multiple matching flanges of the same style and specification as the original pressure gauge flanges when verifying and calibrating the gauge in the laboratory. These flanges must then be welded or fixed and sealed before verification and calibration can be performed. This method is time-consuming, labor-intensive, wasteful, and inefficient. It not only increases the production, inventory, and management of spare parts required for verification and calibration, but also greatly increases the number of redundant verification / calibration steps, increasing the possibility of systematic errors in the verification process. Furthermore, it increases the time cost of verification and calibration work, increases the number of verification and calibration personnel, and frequent disassembly and assembly operations may damage flanges or seals, affecting the service life of the pressure gauge and the accuracy and precision of verification.
