ASTM A182 Socket Weld Flange

Slip on flange, also called SO flange. It’s a kind of flange slides over the pipe with internal design is slightly larger than the pipe. Since the inner diameter of the flange is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the pipe, the SO flange can be directly connected to equipment or pipe by fillet weld at the top and bottom of the flange. It is used to insert the pipe into the inner hole of the flange.

A WN / weld neck flange, also called a tapered hub flange or high-hub flange, is a kind of flange that can relocate stress to the pipes, ensuring a decrease in high-stress concentration at the bottom of the flange.

The equal cross is one kind of the pipe cross,  the equal cross means all the 4 ends of the cross are in same diameter.
The reducing cross also is called unequal pipe cross , it is the pipe cross which the four branch ends are not in the same diameters.

Duplex stainless steel flange is a flange made of duplex stainless steel. Duplex stainless steel refers to a solid solution structure in which the ferrite phase and the austenite phase each account for about half, and the minimum content of the phase generally needs to reach 30%.

Face Type of a WELD NECK flange

ASME B16.5 flange is a flange made accoding to American matal standaed.Class 150 WN flange is the lowest pressure of flange.Flanges have many pressures:CL150, CL300, CL600, CL900, CL1500, CL2500.

18in CL600 WN flange is belong to large dimension flanges.ASME B16.5 is standard for forged flanges.Forged flanges have important functions in high pressure enverionments.

Socket weld (SW) flange is a type of forged flanges,these flanges can socket and wedled with pipes,you could find the flanges specifications in the content below.Stainless steel flanges are popular because the stainless steel has great corrosion resistance so that these flanges can used in some corrosive environments.

l. Large diameter flat welding flange has less high-pressure suitability compared to its weld neck counterpart. The basic ring style is suitable for the occasion of low pressure. The butt weld category of the flange is known as a weld neck flange. It suits the occasion of high temperature and pressure as defined in the ASME B16.47 code. Large diameter flanges are widely popularized and used in the sewage treatment industry, wind power industry, chemical industry, and machinery industry.

What is a Blind Flange,what about its specification and its advantages.

A flange can be defined as a method that helps in connecting pipes, valves, etc., to form a full piping system. There are seven flange classes ranging: #150, #300,#400, #600, #900, #1500 #2500.

Class 150 F316 slip on flange is a common pipe connection element, mainly made of stainless steel material, through slip on and pipe or other flanges are connected. slip on flange is generally composed of flange plate, bolt hole and sealing surface.

A weld neck flange is a type of flange that connects, seals, and changes the direction of a pipe in a pipe system by butt-welding the flange to the pipe. The neck of the weld neck  flange matches the outer diameter of the pipe, providing a good welding interface during welding to ensure the strength and tightness of the connection.

The lap joint flange is put on the pipe end by flanging, steel ring to put the flange on the pipe end. The flange can move on the pipe end. The function of the flange is to press them tightly. Since it is blocked by the flanging, the lap joint flange does not contact the medium.

Large diameter flat welding flange has less high-pressure suitability compared to its weld neck counterpart. The basic ring style is suitable for the occasion of low pressure. The butt weld category of the flange is known as a weld neck flange. It suits the occasion of high temperature and pressure as defined in the ASME B16.47 code.

C276 flange is a flange made of C276 alloy, which is also called Hastelloy C-276 and plays an important role in many fields such as chemical industry and petroleum.

Flange provides a long tapered hub for welding to pipes , it is used in high pressure systems and suitable for both cold and hot temperatures.

These pipe flanges are attached by inserting the pipe into the socket end and applying fillet weld around the top. This allows for a smooth bore and better flow of the fluid or gas inside of the pipe. The connection with the pipe is done with 1 fillet weld, at the outside of the flange. But before welding, a space must be created between flange or fitting and pipe.

ASTM A182 weld neck Flanges are made up of different stainless steel materials. There are different grades to the stainless steel depending on the material composition and the mechanical properties vary.

150 LB blind flange is a flange similar to plug.BL flanges are used to close the pipe system.ASTM A105 forged flange is carbon steel flange in American Matel Standard.

Flange connection is to fix two pipes, pipe fittings or equipment on a flange first, and then Flange pads are added between the flange plates and fastened together with bolts to complete the connection

Class 600 WN flange is a high pressure flange used in piping system.ASTM A350 LF2 is represents to low temperature carbon steel in American Metal Standard.Flanges have many pressures:CL300, CL600, CL900, CL1500, CL2500.

There are Weld Neck Flange ( WN),Slip-on Flange (SO), Threaded Flange (THD),Socket Weld Flange (SW),Blind Flange (BL),Lap Joint Flange (LAPJ),Plate flange (PL). We also supply alloy steel flanges and stainless steel flanges .

The common material grade of stainless steel ASTM A182 contains F304/304L/304H, 316/316L, 321, 310S, 317,347,904L， 1.4404, 1.4437.

The specification of ASTM A182 Forged Pipe Fittings includes forged fittings, stainless steel, rolled alloy, forged alloy, pipe flanges as well as high-temperature service. Later then forgings and hot working, it would be cooled down to a certain temperature before heat treatment.

Socket Weld Flange contain a shoulder on the flange inside that acts as a guide to set the depth at which the pipe is welded to the flange.

A182 F304 forged flanges are stainless steeel flanges,ASME B16.5 SW flanges are socket weld flanges following American Standard specifications.

Socket weld flange can socket with the end of pipe,and welding on the pipe.Stainless steel flanges are popular because of the an-ti corrosive function.Stainless steel pipe fittings can used over 50 years.

Class 600 WN flange is a high pressure flange.Flanges have many pressures:CL300, CL600, CL900, CL1500, CL2500.ASME B16.5 is the American Standard for flanges.Flanges have five face types:RF RTJ FF MF TG.
