Plate Flange

A plate flange, also known as a flat flange, is a simple, flat, and circular pipe component used in low-pressure piping systems. It features evenly spaced holes for bolting and serves to connect pipes, block pipe ends as blind flanges, or reinforce connections in various materials like carbon steel or stainless steel, chosen based on system requirements. The plate flange has a circular disk that is welded onto the end of a pipe and allows it to be bolted to another pipe. Typically used in fuel and water pipelines, the two flange plates will be bolted together with a gasket in between them. The flange plate will have bolt holes all around the perimeter and will be used to create junctions, tees and joints.
