Flanges are pipeline parts that are used to connect pipes, connect equipment and fittings.
The flanges are made of various materials, including carbon and stainless steel, cast iron and others. The choice of material depends on the operating conditions, the type of working environment, and the requirements for strength and durability.
There are different types of flanges that differ in shape, size, and design. For example, flat flanges are used to connect smooth pipe ends, while collar flanges are used to connect pipes with different diameters.
Installing flanges on pipelines requires certain skills and knowledge. It is important to choose the right type of flange, perform all necessary measurements and calculations, and comply with installation and operating requirements.
