Jacob Pipework Systems, Porta Westfalica, Germany, now includes counter-flanges as part of its product range. In response to customer demand, the company has simplified transitions to the modular pipework system by introducing adapter flanges, which are available in square or round form. The new adapters are welded on to outlet or inlet ports. Matching counter-flanges from Jacob’s modular range can then be used to connect the adapters to the pipeline, simply and quickly, using bolts. Counter-flanges are available in untreated mild steel or stainless steel. They are used in conjunction with silicone or NBR gaskets to ensure reliable connections to the pipe system. Previously, the customer had to provide a counter-flange or adapt it to the correct hole pattern. 

The new counter-flange completes the wide choice of Jacob transitions and connection adapters which also includes, for example, welding ends and transition pieces. The company’s pipework range – which is widely used for bulk handling, dust extraction and transfer of exhaust air – covers diameters from DN 80 to DN 300mm. Larger diameters are available on request. www.pipe-systems.eu
