Flange Sealing Guide ( Gaskets And Bolted Connections)

Advertisement

A flange is a metal plate with bolt holes cut through it towards the outer edge. They are usually circular, but rectangular and oval shapes are sometimes used (heat exchangers and manhole/handhole covers). The flanges are attached to the ends of the pipe; sections of pipe and the required fittings are fastened together by bolting the flanges to each other, in most cases, with a gasket of some sort between them.
