Flanges and Fittings are integral components in piping systems, used to connect, support, and control the flow of liquids and gases. These components are critical in industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, water treatment, and construction, where the safe and efficient operation of pipelines is paramount.

• Flanges are flat, disc-shaped connectors that are used to join two pipes, valves, or other equipment in a piping system. They are typically bolted together, creating a secure, leak-resistant seal. Flanges come in various types, including weld neck, slip-on, blind, and socket weld, each designed to meet specific operational needs such as pressure, temperature, and flow control requirements. They are often made from materials like carbon steel, stainless steel, and alloys, making them suitable for different service conditions.

• Fittings are used to change the direction of flow, connect different pipe sizes, or join pipe sections. These include elbows, tees, reducers, couplings, and adapters, among others. Fittings play a crucial role in shaping the layout of piping systems, ensuring smooth transitions and efficient flow paths while minimizing the risk of leaks or damage. Depending on the application, fittings can be forged, cast, or fabricated, and they come in various pressure ratings and sizes to suit a wide range of industries.
