Where is the flange mainly used and what is its role?

I don't know much about human flanges, but I have heard of the pipe connectors. The flange is a general term for pipe connection devices.

What are the benefits of using flanges? After the flange is used, simply speaking, for later maintenance, as long as the flange is removed, it can be repaired, which is more convenient.

At the same time, there are many flange materials, stainless steel flanges, galvanized flanges, etc., depending on the use site and the environment, the flange material requirements will be different.

Flange connection is to fix two pipes, fittings or equipment on a flange first, then add a flange gasket between the two flanges, and then tighten the two flanges with bolts. A detachable joint that makes it tightly combined.

This connection is mainly used for the connection of cast iron pipes, rubber lined pipes, non-ferrous metal pipes and flange valves. The connection of process equipment and flanges is also flanged.
