ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an annular flange connection for attachment to one end of a tubular component. An object of one aspect of the invention is to provide an annular flange that is less prone to damage resulting from the stresses associated with the intended use. In one embodiment, an annular flange connection with a tubular portion for attachment to one end of a tubular component, in particular to a tower segment for assembling a wind turbine tower, and with a flange collar radially adjoining one end of said tubular portion, with a flange surface facing axially away from said tubular portion, the outer wall of the tubular portion being conical, in particular for attachment to an equally conical component.
