What is the flange

A flange is disc, collar or ring that attaches to pipe with the purpose of providing increased support for strength, blocking off a pipeline or implementing the attachment of more items.  The flange is usually welded or screwed to the pipe end and are connected with bolts.  A gasket is inserted between the two mating flanges to provide a tighter seal.  The flange is either custom with dimensions provided by the customer or they are manufactured according to published specifications. Several organizations and associations have published specifications that provide dimensional information as well as pressure specifications at different temperatures.
