Flange ASME/ANSI B16.5-1996 And B16.47-1996

Flange ASME/ANSI B16.5-1996 And B16.47-1996

A flange is a method of connecting pipes, valves, pumps and other equipment to form a piping system. It also provides easy access for cleaning, inspection or modification. Flanges are usually welded or screwed. Flanged joints are made by bolting together two flanges with a gasket between them to provide a seal.
