Still and Box Alarm fire in Chicago, 12/23/18

<

Here's a firsthand account from Eric Haak:

At 04:45 on Sunday morning, December 23rd, Engine 75 arrived at the scene of a two-and-a-half story frame building on 117th and LaSalle Street. They reported a fire in the structure. Shortly after, Battalion 22 called for a box and mentioned that there was fire in two buildings. There was significant fire in the attic of the frame house, and crews had to force entry to gain access. Once inside, they managed to knock down the fire before it could spread further. The crews worked quickly and efficiently under challenging conditions, showing great coordination and skill.

Weld Neck Flange

Welding Neck Flanges are easy to recognize at the long tapered hub, that goes gradually over to the wall thickness from a pipe or fitting.

The long tapered hub provides an important reinforcement for use in several applications involving high pressure, sub-zero and / or elevated temperatures. The smooth transition from flange thickness to pipe or fitting wall thickness effected by the taper is extremely beneficial, under conditions of repeated bending, caused by line expansion or other variable forces.

These flanges are bored to match the inside diameter of the mating pipe or fitting so there will be no restriction of product flow. This prevents turbulence at the joint and reduces erosion. They also provide excellent stress distribution through the tapered hub and are easily radiographed for flaw detection.

This flange type will be welded to a pipe or fitting with a single full penetration, V weld (Buttweld).
