A flange is a method of connecting pipes, valves, pumps and other equipment to form a piping system. It also provides easy access for cleaning, inspection or modification. Flanges are usually welded or screwed. Flanged joints are made by bolting together two flanges with a gasket between them to provide a seal.   Flanges are used in piping as part of a fitting for the purpose of redirecting or changing pipes diameter. They are usually produced during the process of casting machinery components and molding.   They are connectors of pipes, valves & equipment. Gaskets seal two flanges. They are actually placed between them.

A Gasket is an elastomeric component that covers the intersection between two surfaces. They are usually manufactured from a variety of materials, including rubber, cork or paper, metal, copper, and foam. This flexible element can be used for a broad scope of purposes due to its functionality. These include anti-vibration, packaging, hygiene, noise and sound reduction, and most importantly, its most common use, sealing.

SPIRAL WOUND GASKETS Spiral wound gaskets are widely used in the oil & gas industry, particularly in high operating pressure and critical applications. MSI is a gasket distributor, offering spiral wound gaskets in 304 & 316 stainless steel, along with several special alloys. With sizes ranging from 1/4” to 36″, MSI can provide the gaskets required for virtually any project.

In piping, a nipple is a fitting, consisting of a short piece of pipe, usually provided with a male pipe thread at each end, for connecting two other female threaded fittings or pipes. Pipe Nipples are commonly used as adapters from one connection type to another. Pipe nipples are mainly used in low-pressure piping systems.

There are several different types of pipe nipples in common use. A short list includes:

• Close Nipple / Running Nipple
• Hexagonal Nipple
• Reducing Nipple / Unequal Nipple
• Hose Nipple
• Welding Nipple

A coupling is a device used to connect two shafts together at their ends for the purpose of transmitting power  while permitting some degree of misalignment or end movement or both. Couplings under the scope of connecting rotating shafts can be of following types.

• Rigid Coupling
• Flexible Coupling

• Full Coupling
• Half Coupling
• Reducing Coupling
• Compression Coupling
• Slip Coupling / Repair Coupling

Safety supplies and protective equipment keep work sites secure and help companies ensure full compliance with safety regulations. Protective clothing, helmets, goggles, and other safety gear help guard employees from injury or infection. Safety signs warn employees and others of potential hazards, alert workers to the location of safety equipment and exit routes, and offer safety-related instructions in a concise and attention-getting format. Fall-protection safety products help prevent people working at heights from falling or decrease the risk of injury if they do fall.
