Abstract

In a joint structure for coupling a first component () to a second component () in a joint portion of a fluid flow passage, the second component () has a portion thereof inserted into the first component () to engage with the first component (). The second component () is provided with a flange portion (), which is disposed adjacent to a bottom surface of the first component () and welded or bonded to the bottom surface, so that these components () are coupled with each other in an easy and a fluid-tight manner in a condition in which they are prevented from rotating relative to each other without using any locking pin. There is no fear that the components () dissolve in a fluid or gaseous material passing through the fluid flow passage. The joint structure is easy in maintenance.
