Experimental and Modeling Study of Companion Flange

Ashok Jaywantrao Keche, Yogini Somvanshi, Akash Keche

Abstract


Performance of flange is characterized by its strength. A number of analytical and experimental studies have been conducted to study this characteristic of flange in pipeline under internal pressure loading. Very few researchers have studied the companion flange which is used in assembly of Universal Drive shaft. A companion flanges can be supplied as an individual component or as assemblies with universal drive shafts. It allows connection of a flange yoke to another type of connection, for proper torque transmission. In the present work Structural analysis on the flange was performed to obtain the areas of maximum stress under the given boundary conditions. The present study also reports the comparison of experimental and modeling results. It is observed that the deformation is reduced by 3.2% through modeling study and 3% through Experimental study. It is also observed that AISI 204 material is better than SAE 1141 material.
