Flange connections involve securing two pipes, fittings, or equipment to separate flange discs first, then inserting a flange gasket between the two discs and fastening them together with bolts to complete the connection. Some fittings and equipment come with a flange disc already attached, which also falls under flange connections. Flange connections are an essential method in pipeline construction. They are convenient to use and can withstand high pressure. In industrial pipelines and residential settings, where the pipeline diameter is small and the pressure is low, flange connections are not visible. However, in boiler rooms or production sites, you'll find flange connections on pipes and equipment everywhere.

Flange connections can be categorized by their connection methods, including: flat welding flanges, socket welding flanges, blind flanges, threaded flanges, flange covers, loose fit socket flanges with neck and welding ring, flat welding ring loose fit flanges, ring groove flanges and flange covers, large diameter flat flanges, large diameter high neck flanges, winged blind flanges, and socket welding ring loose fit flanges, etc.
