Flanges are crucial components used to connect pipes, valves, pumps, and other equipment in piping systems. They provide a secure, leak-proof seal that ensures the safe and efficient flow of liquids and gases. Designed for strength and durability, flanges are commonly used in industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, and power generation. Available in various materials like stainless steel, carbon steel, and alloy, they offer resistance to high pressure and temperature conditions.
