What are flanges and why are they essential in industry?
A flange is a ring-shaped connection element used to securely and tightly join pipelines, valves, or equipment components. It is typically welded or bolted to pipe ends or machinery. The major advantage: flanges create a detachable connection – ideal for maintenance, replacement, or extension of industrial piping systems.
Simply put, it’s a versatile component that plays a crucial role in every pipeline system where reliable connections matter.
What Is the Purpose of a Flange?
The purpose of a flange is to provide stability, tightness, and flexibility in pipeline systems. What is the purpose of a flange? It ensures that pipelines can be safely connected, separated, or extended – whether in the chemical industry, plant engineering, power generation, or offshore technology.
