What is a Flange?
A flange is a protruded ridge, lip or rim, either external or internal, that serves to increase strength; for easy attachment/transfer of contact force with another object; or for stabilizing and guiding the movements of a machine or its parts. Flanges are often attached using bolts in the pattern of a bolt circle.

Which flange connection is the strongest?
Blind. A blind flange is the most suitable flange to use in high-pressure situations. Very strong and manufactured without the use of a bore, these flanges are used to “blank” the end of the piping, pressure vessel opening, and valves.
Which type of flange is used in high pressure services?
A weldneck flange is a type of flange that has a long tapered hub and a neck that is welded to the pipe. The neck provides reinforcement to the pipe and allows for easy alignment during installation. Weldneck flanges are commonly used in high-pressure applications or in pipelines that carry corrosive fluids.
How are flanges sizes?
If you measure up to 17mm, you’ll fit in a 21mm flange. If you measure up to 20mm, use size 24mm. If you measure up to 23mm, select size 27mm. If you measure up to 26mm, use 30mm.
