Plate flange has weak rigidness, usally used in pressure less than 4Mpa occasion.
Weld neck flange (also called butt weld flange),have good rigidness, usally used in high pressure & temperature occasion.
The sealing suface types contains:
plate face : used in low pressure , non-toxic mediu pipeline.
