What is Flange ?
A flange is a device that can be used to connect two pipes mechanically, it can also do the connection of a pipe to a tee, valve, choke, or any other equipment to form a piping system. The flanges are elements of a pipeline that would allow the assembly of parts, it is an element that can be supplied as a separate part or as a part that is attached from the factory to an element such as a valve, pump, or another part. Basically, a flange is a kind of coupling that can join two lines together with the help of bolts and a gasket in between them. So the flange won’t individually make the joint. The flanged joints can be described as a combination of two flanges or it can be considered as bolting of two flanges and there would be a gasket in between these flanges
