Flange Connection Types: Pipe Flanges Selection Guides You Should Learn Flange Connection Types Pipe Flanges Selection Guides You Should Learn Image Source: Science Direct Pipe flanges Pipe Flanges are the projecting edges, rims, ribs, or collars that join two pipes or a pipe to a fitting or piece of equipment. For situations when solvent cementing would not hold, such as during the dismantling of a piping system or during a temporary or mobile installation, or when two materials have to transition into one another, pipe flanges are utilized. Flanges also have a high moment-carrying capability in comparison to other types of mechanical connections. This is a crucial quality for systems vulnerable to pipe-walking and lateral bending due to changes in temperature and pressure (e.g. deep water lines). Mechanical joints vs Flange pipe The most common application for mechanical joints is in an underground pipe, valve, and fitting connections. When in the retrained position, the mechan...
