This kind of parts can be called "flange parts". But this connection is only a part of the equipment, Such as the connection between the flange and the water pump, It is not easy to call the water pump "flange parts". Relatively small ones, such as valves, can be called "flange parts". Flanges are usually welded around the circumference of the pipe end to connect the pipe, valve and shaft together.
