What is a van stone flange?

A van stone flange is a type of flange used in piping systems, characterized by its unique design that allows for easy alignment and installation. It consists of a tapered face that helps to ensure a tight seal when connected to another flange, typically through the use of a gasket. This design also facilitates the disassembly of the joint without damaging the flange or the piping. Van stone flanges are commonly used in industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, and water treatment.
