What is 12 Point Flange Screws

 

A 12-point flange screw, also known as a 12-point flange bolt, is a specialized fastener designed for high-torque applications. It has distinct characteristics that set it apart from standard bolts and screws: Head Design: The most notable feature is the 12-point head, which has twelve equally spaced points (or splines) around its circumference. This design allows for multiple contact points when using a wrench or socket, making it suitable for high-torque applications. Flange: Like other flange bolts, it may have a built-in flange under the head. The flange provides a larger bearing surface, which helps distribute clamping forces, resist loosening due to vibration, and protect the underlying material. High-Strength Materials: 12-point flange screws are often made from high-strength materials, such as alloy steel, to handle heavy loads and high torques. These fasteners are commonly used in industries like automotive, aerospace, and heavy machinery, where precise torque application is critical, and where access to the fastener may be limited, making the multiple contact points of the 12-point head advantageous.

Slotted Truss Head Machine Screws

Slotted Truss Head Machine Screws

There are two major varieties of screws- machine screws and manual screws. The major difference between them is that machine screws are tightened by an electrical drill machine, whereas manual screws are fitted manually. Due to this, machine screws are better at fastening components than manual screws.
According to sizes, materials, models, and configurations, there are various kinds of machine screws available in the market, like stainless steel (SS) machine screws, brass machine screws, Phillips head machine screws, tamper-resistant machine screws, plated machine screws, Torx heads, slotted or flat-head machine screws, hex-head machine screws, Fillister machine screws, and Pan-head machine screws.

Machine screws are used in making modular kitchens, furniture, construction equipment, etc. They are designed to be inserted into a pre-cut or pre-threaded hole. Machine screws consist of a head and a fully threaded shank. The exterior of this shank allows the machine screw to be inserted in the tapped hole and join the two ends.

Installation Steps for 12 Point Flange Screws

 

Preparation

Before starting the installation of the flange, it is necessary to check the integrity and quality of the flange and seals to ensure that there is no damage or defects. At the same time, prepare the required tools and equipment, such as wrenches, bolts, gaskets, etc. Clean the connecting surfaces of the flanges and pipes to ensure that the surfaces are smooth and free of dirt and grease in order to obtain a good sealing effect.

 

Determine The Flange Position

Determine the flange installation position according to the design requirements of the piping system. Mark the position of the flange and make sure that there is enough clearance between the flange and adjacent equipment or piping for installation and maintenance.

 

Installation Of Flanges
• Place the flange in the marked position, making sure that the connecting surface of the flange is flush with the connecting surface of the pipeline.
• Use bolts to secure the flange to the piping. Select the appropriate number and size of bolts according to the type and size of the flange. Before tightening the bolts, make sure the gaskets are intact and properly installed on the bolts.
• Tighten the bolts one by one in sequence, using a tool such as a wrench to tighten the bolts one by one to ensure that the connection between the flange and the pipeline is tight and secure. The bolts should be tightened one by one in a cross sequence to ensure that the force is evenly distributed.

 

Test Flange Connection

After the installation is completed, the flange connection needs to be tested to ensure its sealing and reliability. Test the flange connection using an appropriate test method (e.g. pneumatic or hydraulic test). Observe for pressure drops, leaks, or seepage by increasing pressure.

 

Recording And Maintenance

Upon completion of the flange installation, promptly record the date, location, and pertinent information about the flange installation. Regularly inspect flange connections to ensure proper operation, and maintain and replace as needed.

Precautions for Using 12 Point Flange Screws
 

Inspection And Preparation

Before installation, the 12-point flange screws and their mating flanges, bolts and other components should be carefully inspected to ensure that they are not damaged, defective or corroded. At the same time, make sure that the installation surface is clean, flat and free of oil, impurities or foreign matter. Select appropriate gaskets according to actual needs and make sure they are clean, dry and undamaged.

 

Installation Process

Usually insert the bolts into the flange screw holes first, make sure they are aligned with the screw holes, and then tighten the flange nuts. In the process of tightening, control the torque to avoid damage to the nut or bolt caused by excessive force, and also ensure that the torque is sufficient to play a tightening role. Pay attention to the centering between the flange nut and the flange to ensure that the force on the connection is uniform and avoid skewing or misalignment.

Inspection And Adjustment

After the installation is completed, inspect the connection to ensure that the flange nut is tight, no loosening, and good sealing. In the course of use, check the tightness of the flange nut regularly, and adjust it in time if it is loose. If leakage or abnormal sound is found in the connection, stop the machine immediately for inspection, find out the reason and deal with it.

 

Safe Operation

In the process of installation and disassembly, the relevant safety operation regulations should be observed to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment. Use suitable tools for operation and avoid using damaged or unqualified tools. When installing in high places or narrow spaces, necessary safety measures should be taken, such as wearing safety helmets and safety ropes.

12 Point Flange Screws Production Process
 

Wire preparation

First, raw coil is used as the raw material, which is the original material purchased by the manufacturer.

 

 

Wire drawing

The wire is drawn according to the required wire diameter to ensure that it meets the specifications for subsequent processing.

Cold heading

Utilizing the plasticity of the metal, the metal is deformed in the solid state by cold mechanical pressure or cold drawing. This step is critical to the initial shaping of the screw.

 

 

Thread rolling

The cold heading blank is rolled out through the interaction of the movable plate and the fixed plate to form the desired threads.

 

Heat treatment

In order to obtain a higher hardness and strength of the screws after the cold heading process, heat treatment is carried out. The purpose of this step is to improve the mechanical properties of the screws, such as torsional and tensile resistance.

 

 

Surface treatment

Depending on the requirements of the product, surface treatment such as cleaning and passivation (for stainless steel screws) or plating (for carbon steel screws) may be carried out to improve the appearance and performance.
