Etymology

The word 'flange' is believed to have originated in the late 15th century and is derived from the Middle English term 'flang' which meant a projecting part. The root can be traced back to Old French, where 'flanche' referred to a side or edge. Throughout the industrial revolution, the term 'flange' became more widely used in engineering and manufacturing contexts, as the need for robust connections in machinery and piping systems grew. Today, flanges are essential components in many fields, including construction, automotive, and aerospace industries, highlighting the evolution of this term from its origins to a vital part of modern technology.
