<p>A tube flange assembly including attachment flanges associated by interlocking deformation with flared tubes. The flanges are placed with the attachment plates thereof arranged in juxtaposition with a tubular insert extending to within the tubes. A raised section on the tubular insert mates with the concavities formed in the annuluses of the flanges. The joint is drawn together by fasteners. Each attachment flange includes a fixing area for receiving the end of the tube. Outwardly of that fixing area, an annular channel forming a loop in cross section with the small circular gap provides tolerance to vibration.</p> |
