ASME B16.5 600LB Forged Steel Flange Packing

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.

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 lap joint flange is always used with lap joint stub end (a kind of butt welded fitting).A182 F304 forged flanges have great anti-corrosive function,flanges in this material have longer using years than other materials.

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.

Welding neck flange benefits

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.

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.

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.

Threaded Flanges are also known as screwed flange, and it is having a thread inside the flange bore which fits on the pipe with matching male thread on the pipe.

What is a weld neck flange and its specification?

Standards and application Referred for WN flange and application

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.

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.

Classification of weld neck flange

ASME B16.5 SW flange is belong to American Standard for forged flanges,this kind of flange are been used all over the word.Forged flanges are high pressure flanges,the commonly used classes are CL 300,CL 600 for forged flanges.Stainless steel flanges always more expensive than other flanges because of the stainless steel has better functions.

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.

Face Type of a WELD NECK flange

ASME B 16.5 2 inch socket weld (SW) flanges are used for small size and high pressure pipe systems.Stainless steel flanges are more expensive than carbon steel flanges because of the better functions.The pressures could be chosen:CL150,CL300,CL600,CL900,CL1500,CL2500.

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.

A105 WN flange is a carbon steel flange according to ASME B16.5.STD is represents the thickness of the flange.Flanges have many pressures:CL150, CL300, CL600, CL900, CL1500, CL2500.Flanges have five face types:RF RTJ FF MF TG.

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.

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

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.

Stainless steel 316L LAPJ flange has great anti-corrosive function,it always used with lap joint stub end of same material.ASME B 16.5 forged flange have soem pressures:CL150,CL300,CL600,CL900,CL1500,CL2500.You could find the comparison between LAPJ flanges,SO flanges and WN flanges below.

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.

Forged Steel Flange 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.

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.

Class 150 WN flange is the lowest pressure flange in all the flanges,langes also have many pressures:CL300, CL600, CL900, CL1500, CL2500.ASTM A105 is the matal standard for forged flanges and fittings.
