Abstract

Disclosed is a flange joint for tubular members, which is shortened in manufacturing process and reduced in manufacturing cost. Specifically disclosed is a flange joint (8) for tubular members, which connects tubular members (7) together by being joined with the lower end or upper end of tubular members (7) at an upper end of the peripheral portion or at a lower end of the peripheral portion. This flange joint (8) for tubular members is provided with a groove (16) having a generally U-shaped cross section on the surface which is joined with the tubular member (7) in the circumferential direction at a radially inner position relative to the position at which the tubular member (7) is joined thereto.

Claims (3)

1. A tubular-member flange coupling in which a top or bottom end of a circumferential portion is mated to a bottom or top end of a tubular member to couple the tubular members to each other, wherein a recess having a substantially U-shape in cross-section is provided around a circumferential direction in a surface to be connected to the tubular member, at a position radially inward of a surface to be mated to the tubular member.
2. The tubular-member flange coupling according to claim 1, wherein the radius of curvature of a radially inward bottom surface of the recess is formed to be smaller than the radius of curvature of a radially outward bottom surface of the recess.
3. A wind turbine for wind turbine generator comprising the tubular-member flange coupling according to claim 1 or 2.
