ASME B16.5 2 Inch Socket Weld Flanges Stainless Steel Flanges

A 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.

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.

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.

P280GH weld neck flange refers to a flange connection method that uses P280GH material as the base material and forms one or more layers of P280GH material welding layers on the flange surface through the butt welding process to improve the flange’s high temperature resistance, high pressure resistance and corrosion resistance.

Steel Pipe Elbow is the most common pipe fitting that changes the direction of the pipeline. It plays a important role in the piping system.

A182 F316‌ lap joint flange uses flanges, steel rings, etc. to put the flange on the pipe end, so that the flange can move on the pipe end. The steel ring or flange is used as a sealing surface, and the flange is used to press them tightly.

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

Rressure rating: Class 150, 300, 600, 900, 1500, 2500lb

A swage nipple is something similar to that of a reducer but it is used to join the butt welded pipe with a socket welded or screwed pipe.Like the reducer,swage nipple is also available with two variations:concentric swage nipple and eccentric swage nipple.The swage nipple generally adopts the MSS SP-95 or the BS3799 Standard.

Usage of a weld neck flange

The connection method of A182 F11 socket flange is to insert the pipe into the socket of the flange, and then seal it with welding or use a sealing gasket. This connection method is relatively strong and can adapt to the thermal expansion and contraction of the pipe to a certain extent.

orged steel flange is a disc-shaped piece of equipment used to connect a pipe to fittings or valve or other component to form a pipework system. Usually flange has been attached to pipe or tube end to, and then a gasket is inserted in the middle to form a seal. Finally they are joined together with bolts and nuts.

Material Grade: ASTM A182 F304/304L/304H, 316/316L, 321, 310S, 317,347,904L， 1.4404, 1.4437.

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.

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.
The Alloy Steel A182 Threaded Elbow material grade contains ASTM A182 F11 / 12 / 5 / 9 / 91 / 92 / 22.

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.

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

Flanges are usually welded or screwed. Flanged joints are made by bolting together two flanges with a gasket between them to provide a seal. 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 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 bore of the slip on will give ample amount of space for the matching pipe.

A182 F304 slip on flange include flanges, bolt holes and sealing surfaces. The flange is a flat ring structure with an outer diameter larger than the outer diameter of the pipe connected to it. The bolt holes are evenly distributed on the flange and are used to install bolts to connect two flanges.

150LB threaded flanges are one types of flanges.Other types of flanges are WN,SO,SW,LAPJ,BL.Stainless steel 316L flanges are popular in many corrosive environments because of the excllent corrosion resistance.Flanges have many pressures:CL150, CL300, CL600, CL900, CL1500, CL2500.

300LB Stainless Steel Flange is always be chosen because of the excellent anti-corrosive function,SS316 is one of commonly used grade for stainless steel.Flanges have many pressures:CL150, CL300, CL600, CL900, CL1500, CL2500.

Slip on flange is also called SO flange.This flange can slip onto the pipes and welded with the pipes.Shanghai Zhucheng is a forged flanges supplier who supply high quality flanges for years.

WN flanges is the most popular type of flanges.ASTM A182 F304 is a American standard grade of stainless steel.The other popular grade is A182 F316.ASME B16.5 forged flanges inculding WN flange,SO flange,SW flange,THD flange,LAPJ flange,BL flange.All types of flanges have pressures:150#,300#,600#,900#,1500#,2500#.

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 .

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.
