A234 WPB Blind Flange

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

ASTM A182 F304 600LB slip on flanges are very popular type of flanges because of the excellent functions and high pressure.ASME B16.47 Series A & B are American Standard for large dimension flanges.According to ASME B16.47 Series A& B,the smallest size of flanges is 22 in.

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.

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.However, customers should bear in mind that this initial cost saving may be diminished by the additional cost of the two fillet welds required for proper installation.

A weld neck flange consists of a circular fitting with a protruding rim around the circumference. Generally machined from a forging, these flanges are typically butt welded to a pipe. The rim has numerous holes drilled into it that enables the flanged to be attached to a bolted flange.

ASME B16. 5 pipe flanges: 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)

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.

Threaded nipple is a short piece length of pipe or tube. Its size is specified according to the length of this section of pipe and the diameter. It can be with threaded or flat ends. And both ends can be the same or different.
There are two shape : threaded one end (TOE) and threaded both end ( TBE).

What is a Weld Neck Flange and its 2 different shapes

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.

ASTM A182 F304 spectacle blind is more often used than carbon steel spectacle blind as its great anti-corrosive function.ASME B16.48 is the standard of spectacle blinds.The two components have different functions in the piping system.

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.

Materials of WN Flanges

There are varies advantages of stainless steel flange:
Resistant to corrosion and staining
Low maintenance
Bright familiar luster
Steel Strength

ASTM A105 threaded fittings is commonly used carbon steel grade which is used to manufacture forge piping components such as forged fittings and flange of small diameter piping, generally for piping whose nominal diameter is NPS 2 or smaller.

Equal tee is one type of pipe fittings, also called straight tee which means the branch diameter is same with the main pipe (Run pipe) diameter.

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

Reducing pipe (reducing nipple) is a pipe fitting used for straight-line connection of two pipes with different sizes to realize pipe diameter reduction. There are concentric reducing joints and eccentric reducing joints

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.

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.

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.

600LB SW flanges can socket with the flanges and then welded with the pipes.Large diameter flanges can be series A and series B.ASME B 16.47 A & B are standard for large diameter flanges.

Stainless steel socket flanges are installed during pipeline construction and connected to another pipeline through bolts to achieve a tight connection of the pipeline.

150LB slip on flange is the lowest pressure flange in all pressure flanges.ASME B16.5 forged flange is manufacted according to American Standard.Pressures for flanges have 150LB,300LB,600LB,900LB,1500LB,2500LB.

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.
