A182 F316 Lap Joint Flange

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.

Welding neck flange benefits

An assembly with limited space may be an instance in which a socket weld is selected, provided the pressure class is comparatively low and the fluid is not corrosive or for extremely high temperature service.

High pressure flange carbon steel material: ASTM A105 / A105N, ASTM A350 LF2/LF3, ASTM A694 F42 / 46 / 56 / 60 / 65, P235GH, P265GH, P280GH, P355GH

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. All flanges are round disks with holes for bolts around the rim, but the commonalities end there. a projecting flat rim used for strengthening or attachment.

What is a weld neck flange and its specification?

The spectacle blind flange is named because its shape resembles the number “8”. One end is a blind and the other end is an iron ring. However, the diameter of the throttling ring is the same as the diameter of the pipe and does not play a throttling role. This design makes the spectacle blind flange uniquely flexible and practical in the pipeline system.

Stainless steel spectacle blind has better anti-corrosive function than other material of spectacle blinds.ASME B 16.48 is a commonly used standard for spectacle blindThe joint face can be RF (Raised Face), FF (Flat Face), RTJ (Ring Joint),it is depend on the type of flanges.

Many times a nozzle will be blanked off with a blind flange for pressure tests in a plant, or simply because the customer does not need all the nozzles that were supplied on the tank.

It is generally used in non-corrosive, non-critical, moderate pressure services. Slip on flanges of Class 150 and Class 300 are most commonly seen in utility engineering. Similar to welding neck flange, the slip on flange conforming to ASME B16.5 may generally be furnished with three facing types: raised face (RF), flat face/ full face (FF), or ring type joint (RTJ).

It is used to insert the pipe into the inner hole of flange, as the flange inner diameter is little bigger than the pipe’s outer diameter, pipe and flange could be connected by lap welding at the top and bottom of the flange. The slip-on flange is a simple and excellent alternative to a weld neck as it does not have a weld bevel, and therefore allows the pipe to be adjusted in length relative to its position of the flange.

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.

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.

What is a Blind Flange?Where are Blind Flanges Most Commonly Used?

Stainless steel flange is popular because stainless steel has great anti-corrosive function.Flanges can be many types:WN,SO,SW,THD,LAPJ,BL.These flanges use different connections to connect with the pipes.Shanghai Zhucheng is a high quality manufactory who can supply all types of flanges.

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.

Usage of a weld neck flange

It is used to insert the pipe into the inner hole of flange, as the flange inner diameter is little bigger than the pipe’s outer diameter, pipe and flange could be connected by lap welding at the top and bottom of the flange.

300LB THD flanges are one types of flanges.Other types of flanges are WN,SO,SW,LAPJ,BL.ASTM A182 F316 flanges are popular in many corrosive environments because of the excllent corrosion resistance.Flanges have many pressures:CL150, CL300, CL600, CL900, CL1500, CL2500.

Stainless steel flange, also called SS flange, it means the material of flange is stainless steel. Common material standards and Grades are ASTM A182 Grade F304/L and F316/L, with pressure ratings from Class 150, 300, 600 etc and to 2500.

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

The difference between ASME/ANSI and API

TOE means threaded at one end when translated. Thus, we can say that a nipple TOE is a nipple that has one threaded end.
In this case, we have the acronym TBE for “threaded both ends” which means threaded at both ends. In other words, this is the most typical type of nipple as described above for connecting two parts or fittings with female threading.

Stainless steel slip on flanges are popular type of flanges because of the great material and flexible applications.Pressures of flanges:CL150,CL300,CL600,CL900,CL1500,CL2500.ASTM A182 F316L and ASTM A182 F304 are both popular grades of stainless steel.

What is a weld neck flange and what about its dimensions?

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.

ASME B16. 5 is limited to flanges and flanged fittings made from cast or forged materials, and blind flanges and certain reducing flanges made from cast, forged, or plate materials. Also included in this Standard are requirements and recommendations regarding flange bolting, flange gaskets, and flange joints.

The smooth transition between the flange and the hub combined with the strength of the butt weld joint, allows the flange to be used in extreme conditions of cyclic loading, bending and temperature fluctuations.
