ASME B16.5 Stainless Steel Weld Neck Flange

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.

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.

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.

Socket Weld Flange contain a shoulder on the flange inside that acts as a guide to set the depth at which the pipe is welded to the flange.

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

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.

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 A350 LF2 Blind Flange is a common low-temperature carbon steel material, mainly used in the manufacture of low-temperature and high-pressure forged pipe fittings and flanges.

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.

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.

The common material grade of stainless steel ASTM A182 contains F304/304L/304H, 316/316L, 321, 310S, 317,347,904L， 1.4404, 1.4437.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Usage of a weld neck flange

Welding neck flange benefits

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.

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 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.

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.

A weld neck flange is a type of flange that connects, seals, and changes the direction of a pipe in a pipe system by butt-welding the flange to the pipe. The neck of the weld neck  flange matches the outer diameter of the pipe, providing a good welding interface during welding to ensure the strength and tightness of the connection.

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.
