I considered that possibility as well and you could be right. Due to the
lack of detailed information (pipe size, rating, flange type and
material, etc.) though, I figure the group's assumption was that this
was someone who wasn't too sure/knowledgeable and needed some help.
Never heard of a lens flange before, good link! Too bad there are no further details of the matching flange there. The graphic seems to indicate a concave flange face and the description, "The spherical shape of this gasket is conical flange faces..." doesn't really explain much.

> I sympathize with the "come on Lakshmi, give us the answer, what
happened to the flange!" crowd. I included myself in it until just a few
moments ago. Then I had a thought. My assumption (and perhaps that of
most of the rest of us) was that Lakshmi's question "Can anyone tell me
what happened to this flange?" was a challenge, a test of sorts. He had
a problem, investigated, figured it out, then decided to pass along his
newfound knowledge to this discussion group. Perhaps that assumption was
incorrect. Perhaps Lakshmi doesn't know what happened and is asking the
group if we can help him figure it out. Just a theory...
