Types of Flanges

Flange Material

Pipe flanges can be made of a range of materials including stainless steel flange fittings, carbon steel pipe fittings, and more. The application will determine what the best material is for your project. In almost every case the flange will be crafted from the same material that the pipe it is connecting to is.
