Ukuxhumana kwe-Flangewukulungisa amapayipi amabili, izifakelo zamapayipi noma izinto zokusebenza ngokulandelana ai-flangeplate, kanyei-flangei-pad yengezwa phakathi kwama-flange amabili, aboshwe kanye nama-bolts ukuqedela uxhumano. Ezinye izinsimbi zamapayipi nezinto zokusebenza zinazoama-flange, nazoi-flangeukuxhumana.I-Flangeukuxhumeka kuyindlela yokuxhumana ebalulekile ekwakhiweni kwepayipi.I-Flangeukuxhumana kulula ukuyisebenzisa futhi kungamelana nokucindezela okukhulu.I-Flangeukuxhumana kusetshenziswa kabanzi kumapayipi ezimboni. Ekhaya, ububanzi bepayipi buncane, futhi ingcindezi ephansi, akukho uxhumano lwe-flange olubonakalayo. Uma usendlini yokubhayela noma indawo yokukhiqiza, zikhonai-flangedamapayipi nemishini yonke indawo.
Ngokusho kweuxhumano lwe-flangeizinhlobo zokuxhuma zingahlukaniswa zibe:ipuleti flat welding flange, eneflange yokushisela intamo eyisicaba, i-butt welding neck flange, i-socket welding flange, i-flange enentambo, ikhava ye-flange, ene-neck butt welding ring flange, indandatho ye-welding eyisicaba iyakhululeka, i-ring groove surface flange, ikhava ye-flange, ububanzi obukhulu i-flange yepuleti, i-flange enkulu enobubanzi obuyimpumputhe, i-butt yokushisela i-flange yentamo, amagama ayisishiyagalombili ama-ring flange,njll.
