Misalignment Ball Flange (MBF)

This Misalignment Ball flange is particularly useful in scenarios were connecting pipelines experience movement due to environmental factors or operational conditions.

In summary, misaligned ball flanges and connectors play a crucial role in maintaining integrity and functionality in various applications, especially when dealing with movement, angular deviations, or misaligned components.

Misalignment Ball Flange

Application

The MBF flange, is designed to handle misalignment in subsea applications. Here are its key features:

  • Up to +/- 20˚ hub misalignment: It can accommodate angular misalignment.
  • Acts as a ball joint: The flange is locked during assembly.
  • Eliminates tie-in bending moment: Only axial load is required.
  • Mechanical ends stop in hub profile: Prevents excessive movement.
  • Leak-tight at all misalignment angles: Ensures sealing integrity.
  • Custom sizes available: The current range covers 6″ to 36″, but other sizes can be requested.
