&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;The process to optimize the flanges is to find the maximum of small bolts to ensure the sealing of the gasket.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;In AutoPIPE Vessel, 2 main choices can be done in the Flange dialog to obtain a compact forging in which the hub has a small length or a light flange with a important hub and a flange with a small thickness.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
