Tongue Face
The Tongue and Groove faces of this flanges must be matched. One
flange face has a raised ring (Tongue) machined onto the flange
face while the mating flange has a matching depression (Groove)
machined into it's face.
Tongue-and-groove facings are standardized in both large and small
types. They differ from male-and-female in that the inside
diameters of the tongue-and-groove do not extend into the flange
base, thus retaining the gasket on its inner and outer diameter.
These are commonly found on pump covers and Valve Bonnets.
Tongue-and-groove joints also have an advantage in that they are
self-aligning and act as a reservoir for the adhesive. The scarf
joint keeps the axis of loading in line with the joint and does not
require a major machining operation.
