A flange assembly, a coupling flange, and its assembling method thereof are disclosed. Stiffening plates (2) are located on the front side of the flange plate (1). Equilibrium contact surfaces (211) are set up on the front end surfaces of stiffening plates. The pressure stress bending moment created by the equilibrium contact surfaces offsets the pulling stress on the steel pipe wall and reduces the hoop stress of the steel pipe. This provides reliable bonding strength and ensures that the tensile rigidity remains unchanged under circulating dynamic load. This coupling flange is especially suitable for the connection of large-scale steel pipes such as the cylindrical pylons of large-scale wind power generators. The coupling flange can save steel consumption, reduce machining difficulty, and thus greatly reduce the manufacturing and assembling costs.
