A182 304L Stainless steel Weld Neck Flange

The descipton ,specification ,and advantages of a weld neck flange.

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.

Flange connection is an important connection method in pipeline construction. A flange is a category of gasket made to fix two sections of pipe together, or act as a removable plug at the end of a single pipe.

flange type: 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)

WN flange is a commonly used type of flanges,ASMT A150 forged flange is carbon steel flange according to American Standard.Flanges have many types:WN,SO,SW,THD,LAPJ,BL.

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.

A105 Lap Joint flanges are made by using flanges, steel rings, etc. to put flanges on the pipe ends, and the flanges can move on the pipe ends. The function of the flange is to press them tightly. Because they are blocked by the flanges, the Lap Joint flanges do not contact the medium.

Stainless steel weld neck flange is a part widely used in pipeline engineering. The diameter and wall thickness of the pipe at the interface end are the same as the pipe to be welded, and the connection of the pipe is realized by welding.

What is a Weld Neck(WN) Flange and what about its specification and advantages.

There are various material grade for ASTM A182 stainless steel flange: F304/304L/304H, 316/316L, 321, 310S, 317,347,904L， 1.4404, 1.4437.

Steel Flange Fittings 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.

A234 WPB blind flange is a type of flange widely used in pipeline systems. A234 is the standard number of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), and WPB indicates that this material is a carbon steel pipeline component for medium and low temperatures.

Class 1500 SO flange Flanges have many pressures:CL300, CL600, CL900, CL1500, CL2500.Flanges have five face types:RF RTJ FF MF TG. Slip on flanges can slip on the pipes and welding with the pipes.

ASTM A182 F316 Threaded Flange is a flange manufactured according to A182 standard, and its connection method is threaded connection. It is a commonly used connector in pipeline systems, used to connect pipelines, valves, pumps and other equipment, so that fluids can be smoothly transmitted within the system.

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.

What is a WN Flange?and what about its specification

A flange can be defined as a method that helps in connecting pipes, valves, etc., to form a full piping system. There are six flange classes ranging from #150 to #2500. Governed by B 16.5 standards, the ASME B16. 5 Class 300 Flange provides a pressure capacity of 300Lb.

150LB SO Flange is the lowest pressure flange in flanges.High Pressure Forged Flange have many pressures:CL150, CL300, CL600, CL900, CL1500, CL2500.

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.

Slip on flange can be made by forging, steel cutting, casting and etc. Among these manufacturing types, the forging type gains the best quality and also the most common use.

The bore of the slip on will give ample amount of space for the matching pipe. This allows for enough working space for the welder and fabricator to make the connection.Slip-On flanges are commonly lower in price than weld-neck 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.

Blind flanges are used to seal the end of piping systems or pressure vessel openings.

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 300 LAPJ flanges are used with lap joint stub end.The pressures for ASME B16.5 forged flanges including 150LB,300LB,600LB,900LB,1500LB12500LB.

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.

Weld Neck Flanges are a very common type of pipe flanges used in various industrial applications. They have a long tapered hub and are often used for high pressure applications.
