Flanged Joint in Pipe

Flanged joints are used for high pressure flows and for large diameter pipes.
In general they are used for plain end pipes or threaded pipes. Two flange
components are connected by bolts at the pipe joint to prevent leakage.

Generally these are made of cast iron, steel etc. these are having good
strength and do not fail against high pressure. Against high temperatures
the bolts may fail under creep lost their grip so, fixing of bolts should be
done properly while installing. They are also useful for repairing pipelines
and maintenance purposes.
