What is a Flange?

Flanges are essential components used to connect pipes with each other, to valves, fittings, and specialty items such as strainers and pressure vessels. They can also connect to a cover plate, creating what is known as a "blind flange." These flanges are joined by bolting and are often sealed using gaskets or other methods.
