Lap joint flange(Loose flange) advantages:

Freedom to swivel around the pipe facilitates the lining up of opposing flange bolt holes.

Lack of contact with the fluid in the pipe often permits the use of inexpensive carbon steel flanges with corrosion resistant pipe.

In systems which erode or corrode quickly, the flanges may be salvaged for re-use.

What is Stub End?

Stub end is a type of steel butt welded pipe. It is a short piece of pipe with a narrow shoulder on the end. The other end is butt welded to a pipe, this end called hub. The shoulder is like a raised face of flange, the hub is a neck.

It has long and short types. ASME B16.9 stub ends have both long and short pattern, but MSS SP-43 stub end is available in short pattern only.
