insulating flange

insulating flange

insulating flange

(OP)
Is a insulating flange the same as dielectric union. Pardon my ignorace but I don't know this.

Regards

RE: insulating flange

Yes - same thing [only a little different]
Dielectric Union is usually a full kit of parts.
Insulating Flange kit [usually] consists of insulating washers to put under one side's nuts, plastic sleeves for the studs, and an insulating gasket. You have to buy the pair of flange fittings.

RE: insulating flange

They are not necessarily the same thing, but may serve very similar functions. duwe6 has explained insulating flange kits pretty well, and depending on application/materials/sizes etc. involved you will find various other sorts of devices that might well be referred to as "dialectric unions" with a good web search (I guess other key words that might help in this could be "insulated or "insulating" couplings).
