Flanged fittings are mechanical components used to connect pipes, valves, or other equipment in a piping system. They consist of a flat piece of metal with a raised rim, known as a flange, which allows for easy attachment using bolts. This design ensures a secure and leak-proof connection, making flanged fittings ideal for high-pressure applications. These fittings come in various sizes and materials, such as stainless steel, carbon steel, and PVC, to suit different environments and fluid types. Commonly used in industries like oil and gas, water treatment, and chemical processing, flanged fittings are essential for maintaining the integrity of piping systems.
