ASTM A105N Carbon Steel Threaded Flange ASME B16.5

A234 WPB blind flange is a type of flange widely used in pipeline systems. A234 is the standard number of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), and WPB indicates that this material is a carbon steel pipeline component for medium and low temperatures.

Slip on flange can be made by forging, steel cutting, casting and etc. Among these manufacturing types, the forging type gains the best quality and also the most common use.

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.

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)

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

ASME B16.5 flange is a flange made accoding to American matal standaed.Class 150 WN flange is the lowest pressure of flange.Flanges have many pressures:CL150, CL300, CL600, CL900, CL1500, CL2500.

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.

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

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.

18in CL600 WN flange is belong to large dimension flanges.ASME B16.5 is standard for forged flanges.Forged flanges have important functions in high pressure enverionments.

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.

A105 FF slip on flange is a commonly used pipeline connection element, mainly made of carbon steel, and connected to pipelines or other flanges by flat welding. The structure of the slip on flange is relatively simple.

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.

What is a Socket Weld Flange,what abut its specification and advantages

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.

Usage of a weld neck flange

What is a blind flang,what about its specification and advantage.

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.

Flange provides a long tapered hub for welding to pipes , it is used in high pressure systems and suitable for both cold and hot temperatures.

300 LB BL flanges are used to close the pipe system,it is similar to plugs and caps.Stainless steel 304 flanges are the most used stainless steel flanges as SS304 have excllent functions and reasonable price.
