Basic Knowledge and Classification of Flanges
Flanges are among the most important parts of piping systems, which ensure a tight and reliable joining of pipes, valves, pumps, and other pieces of equipment. Their main application is to provide tight connections with easy access for maintenance, cleaning, inspection, or modifications of a system. Flanged joints are formed by bolting two flanges together with a gasket placed between them to provide tight sealing to prevent leakage.
