Pipe Flanges
A pipe flange is disc, collar or ring that attaches to pipe with 
the purpose of providing increased support for strength, blocking off a 
pipeline or implementing the attachment of more items.  Pipe flanges are
 usually welded or screwed to the pipe end and are connected with 
bolts.  A gasket is inserted between the two mating flanges to provide 
a tighter seal.  Pipe flanges are either custom with dimenions provided 
by the customer or they are manufactured according to published 
specifications.  Several organizations and associations have published 
specifications that provide dimensional information as well as pressure 
specifications at different temperatures.  Coastal Flange manufactures 
custom flanges and stocks 6 basic types of pipe flanges.  Although, 
these are the 6 most common types of pipe flanges, Coastal Flange is a 
custom flange manufacturer as well and is able to create just about any 
type of flange necessary for your requirements.  Please click on one of 
the following pictures for a more detailed description of the pipe 
flanges you are interested in.  Each page also has a video that provides
 a better understanding of how the pipe flanges are connected to the 
pipe.
