Rubber flanges are specialized components used in piping systems to create connections between pipes, valves, or equipment while providing flexibility and sealing capabilities. These flanges are designed to accommodate pipelines that may experience movement, vibration, or misalignment during operation. The construction of rubber flanges typically involves a rubber gasket sandwiched between two metal flange faces. The gasket is usually made from synthetic rubber materials like EPDM, neoprene, or nitrile rubber, chosen for their resilience, flexibility, and resistance to various environmental conditions and fluids.
