Iiflange zisetyenziswa kakhulu kwishishini kwaye zidlala indima ebalulekileyo kwimveliso yemveliso.Ke ngoko, imfuno yentengiso yeeflange inkulu.Njengenxalenye yeshishini, i-flange idlala indima yayo engenakubuyiselwa
I-flange ikwabizwa ngokuba yi-flange okanye i-flange.Yinxalenye edibanisa i-shaft kunye ne-shaft.Isetyenziselwa ukudibanisa phakathi kwemibhobho, izixhobo zombhobho okanye izixhobo.Logama nje iyinxalenye yokudibanisa ebotshiweyo kwaye ivalwe kumda weendiza ezimbini inokubizwa ngokudibeneyo njengeeflange.
Iveliswa ngomgubo wesinyithi, ukuphosa, ukuphosa ngokuchanekileyo, isitampu kunye nezinye iinkqubo zemveliso.
Umsebenzi we-flange kukulungisa kunye nokutywina ukudibanisa kwezixhobo zombhobho.Iiflange zisetyenziselwa ukudibanisa kunye nokudibanisa imibhobho, izixhobo, njl., kunye nokugcina ukusebenza kokutywinwa kwemibhobho kunye nokufakelwa;i-flanges inokuchithwa, ekulula ukuyikhupha kwaye ihlolisise imeko yeepayipi.Ukunciphisa i-flanges i-corrosion resistant, i-asidi kunye ne-alkali ukumelana, kwaye ingasetyenziselwa ukugcinwa kwamanzi, amandla ombane, izikhululo zamandla, ukufakwa kwemibhobho, imboni, iinqanawa zoxinzelelo, njl.
Iiflange zensimbi ezingenasici zingasetyenziselwa kwiinqanawa zoxinzelelo lwebhoyili, i-petroleum, ikhemikhali, i-shipbuilding, i-pharmaceutical, i-metallurgy, umatshini, ukutya kunye namanye amashishini, okulungele ukutshintshwa kwecandelo elithile lemibhobho.
