Flange coupling: method of joining the two flanges Identify how the mating flanges in a standard rigid flange coupling are secured together. Choose the correct option.

Difficulty: Easy

Bolts and nuts
Studs only
Headless taper bolts only
None of these

Correct Answer: Bolts and nuts

Explanation:

ConceptRigid flange couplings employ bolts and nuts through matching flange holes to clamp the two halves together while the keys transmit torque from shaft to hub.

Final AnswerBolts and nuts
