Flanges are used to connect pipes with each other, to valves, to fittings, and to specialty items such as strainers and pressure vessels. A cover plate can be connected to create a "blind flange". Flanges are joined by bolting, and sealing is often completed with the use of gaskets or other methods.
Types Of Flanges:
Weld Neck Flanges
A welding neck flange (also called a 'weld neck flange') is well recognised for its long-tapered hub, which provides mechanical strength (useful to resist 'dishing' and 'bowing'). Welding neck flanges are high integrity flanges and are available in all sizes, all common face types (flat, raised, RTJ), and all classes.

Threaded Flanges
A threaded flange is a device that connects a device that you can secure to a pipe length without the need for welding. With tapered thread, the threaded flange can be tightened onto the pipe without any leakage.

Socket Weld Flanges
Socket Weld Flanges: SW flangeshave a recessed shoulder on the inner diameter which allows the pipe to be fitted correctly. These fittings are typically used for small diameter pipes and can work at higher pressures, offering excellent flow characteristics.

Slip On Flanges
Slip on flange, also called SO flange. It's a kind of flange slides over the pipe with internal design is slightly larger than the pipe. Since the inner diameter of the flange is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the pipe, the SO flange can be directly connected to equipment or pipe by fillet weld at the top and bottom of the flange. It is used to insert the pipe into the inner hole of the flange.

Lap Joint Flanges
Lap joint flange (simplified as LTF flange) shape is similar to slip on flange, it has a curved radius at the bore, which can connect with a stub end fittings and slide over the pipe. In this form, the pipe is usually welded to this stub end so the lap joint flange can rotate freely around the stub end.

Blind Flanges
Blind flange is like a flange cover, also called blind disk or flanged pipe plug. Blind flange has no holes in the center, for to seal the pipe opening. So it's function is the same as the pipe plug or the pipe cap. The difference is blind flange is a detachable equipment, easy to replace or do maintenance.
