Ingxenye ehlanganisa ipayipi nepayipi ixhunywe ekugcineni kwepayipi. Kunezimbobo ku-flange futhi amabhawodi abamba ama-flange amabili ndawonye. Gasket seals phakathi flanges. Ukufakwa kwamapayipi ane-flanged kubhekisela ekufakweni kwamapayipi ngeama-flange(ama-flanges noma amalunga). Ingaphonswa, icushwe noma ishiselwe. Uxhumano lwe-flange luqukethe ama-flanges, i-gasket kanye nenani lama-bolts namantongomane.

Kunezinhlobo ezintathu zeukufakwa uphawu kwe-flangeindawo engaphezulu: indawo yokuvalwa kwendiza, elungele ingcindezi ayiphezulu, izikhathi zemidiya ezingenabuthi; I-Concave ne-convex yokubekwa uphawu kwendawo, elungele izikhathi zengcindezi ephakeme kancane; I-Tenon groove sealing surface, ilungele ukuvutha, ukuqhuma, indawo enobuthi kanye nezikhathi zengcindezi ephezulu. I-Gasket iwuhlobo lwendandatho engakhiqiza ukuguqulwa kwepulasitiki futhi inamandla athile. Iningi lama-gaskets anqunywa kusuka kumashidi angewona awensimbi, noma enziwe ezimbonini eziqeqeshiwe ukuya kosayizi abashiwo. Izinto zokwakha amashidi enjoloba ye-asbestos, amashidi e-asbestos, amashidi e-polyethylene nokunye.
I-Flangeuxhumano lwentambo (uxhumano lwezintambo) ama-flanges nama-flange ahlanganisiwe kanye ne-clamp flange. Ingcindezi ephansi enobubanzi obuncane be-flange enentambo futhii-sleeve flange, ukucindezela okuphezulu nokucindezela okuphansi ububanzi obukhulu kuyi-flange eshiselwe, ukushuba kwe-flange nokuxhuma ububanzi bebholidi kanye nenani lokucindezela okuhlukile lihlukile.
