Flanges are external or internal edges, or edges (lips), used for power, such as iron plate flanges, such as I-beams or T-beams; or for connection to other components, such as flanges at the ends of screws, steam poles, etc., or camera lens mounts; or rail car flanges or tram wheel flanges. So a flanged wheel is a wheel with a flange on one side to prevent the wheel from slipping off the track. The term “flange” is often used to denote the shape of the flange of a piece of equipment. Flanged pipes can be installed and removed quickly.
