What are Flanges? Flanges are used to connect valves, pipes, pumps, and other pieces of equipment to make a pipework system. Most of the time, flanges are welded or threaded, and two flanges are joined by bolting them together with gaskets to make a seal that makes...

What is an orifice flange? The Orifice Flange is used to measure how much product is flowing through the piping system. When the Orifice Plate is put in place, the flow is restricted. This makes a difference in pressure, which is used to measure how fast liquids,...

Fasteners are an important part of how many things we use every day are made. If you've done any do-it-yourself projects, you've probably used fasteners. At All Points Fasteners, we are passionate about the role that good fasteners can play for both professionals and...

A screw is a type of fastener that is meant to be put into a material or object, like wood or metal, to hold two or more pieces together. There are many different kinds of screws, each with its own design and purpose. Screws are the only fastener that can be used for...

Butterfly valves belong to the quarter-turn rotational motion valves family and are used primarily to stop, regulate, or start the flow. The term “butterfly” in a butterfly valve is a disk connected to a rod. When this rod rotates the disk by 90° the butterfly valve...

When working with sheet metal, the word "gauge" is often used. For example, if you don't know how the gauge system works, it might not be clear what 18 gauge steel means. As a resource, this blog has a sheet metal gauge chart and a description of the gauge system. How...

First, Let’s Know What Brass and Copper is? What is Brass? Brass is the name given to a copper alloy that contains a particular amount of zinc. As a result, this metal is frequently confused for copper. Brass is also made up of other metals such as tin, iron,...
