Flanges are mechanical components used to connect pipes, tubes, valves, and other equipment to form a tight seal. They are commonly used in piping systems to facilitate easy assembly and disassembly, as well as to allow for the secure transportation of fluids and gases. Flanges are available in various sizes, materials, and designs, depending on the specific application and the pressure and temperature conditions they need to withstand.
A flange is a flat, circular, or ring-like device designed to join two components, typically pipes or equipment, in a secure and leak-proof manner. The flange is generally connected using bolts, screws, or welding, and often incorporates a gasket to create a tight seal between the mating surfaces.
