There are many bolted joints between pipes in industries where there is a need to transfer fluids over long distances. Fluids prevent the use of other transport methods due to their physical nature. Moreover, it is not easy to continuously transfer fluid from one place to another using anything else except pipes. Not all the joints have pipes welded together. There are many places where they are joined by bolted flange assemblies. It is essential to ensure that these joints are free of leakage. The accepted technique to ensure leak-proof joints is flange management and is used in many industries.
 
The Different Components of Flange Management
Flange management includes various processes that help to keep a joint leak-free. Flange management jobs are done at the beginning itself when the pipes are laid so that there will be a leak-free environment. Many fluids can cause disastrous results if they leak into the environment. Some fluids are highly inflammable and these must be kept ...
... in a sealed pipe and prevented from escaping into the atmosphere.
There are different aspects to flange management. The faces of the pipes should be done in such a way that the bolt will wind over them without any space for leakage. Flange facing machines are used for this purpose. Milling machines cannot give the kind of finish required for a leak-free joint. This work must be done by experts in close collaboration with the clients’ engineers to ensure proper facing of the flange.
 
Flange Alignment and Bolting
Proper flange spacing and alignment are essential to make the flanges join together to form a sealed joint. There are flange spreading and aligning machines that are used for the process. This is an important part of flange management and must be done by experts using the most efficient machines. Tensioning the bolt to the optimum level is another part of the flange management procedure. Bolt tensioning machines help to tighten the bolt to the optimum level and maintain the integrity of the joint.
 
Communication In An Embedded System
Embedded systems have devices that may need to communicate with another device. In such environments, it is most preferred that the communication happens wirelessly. The most preferred method of communication in such cases is the radio-frequency communication. This will require RF modules that use RF passive components to communicate with the other device. The main advantage of radio-frequency communication is that the devices need not be in sight of each other.
Many RF circuit components are in the devices. RF devices are now commonly used in many places. Industrial remotes and car garage door opening remotes use the RF device. The advantage is that you don't have to point the remote at the device for operating. But there are many challenges in using an RF circuit.
 
The Challenges In RF Circuits
RF circuits are similar to other circuits and the same components are found in both. But certain differences make the use of RF circuit components that are different from those used in digital circuits. There are both active and passive components in a circuit. But in RF circuits there is a need to use passive components because other components can reduce the frequency to a great level.
This is the reason that choosing components for an RF circuit must be done with care. Whether they are capacitors, resistors or other components it must be ensured that you select passive components.
