Flange is a protruding ridge/rim, that is used to improve strength or distribute load. Flanges are used to connect valves, pumps, pipes & other equipment to form a piping system. It also allows for simple washing, inspection, and alteration. Flanges are welded or screwed together. Flanged joints are created by bolting two Flanges together and placing a gasket between them to form a seal.
