ASTM A182 F304L Large Size Weld Neck Flange
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.
A weld neck flange is a type of pipe flange that incorporates a cast-in neck that is welded to the pipe. Unlike a plain flange that is slipped over the pipe prior to being welded into place, a weld neck flange has a spout-like neck that is beveled to match up to the pipe. Once the pipe is beveled to match the weld neck flange, a perfect V shape is created in which a butt weld is placed to connect the two components. The benefit of a weld neck flange is that the welded connection does not interfere with the flow of liquid through the flange. By placing the weld joint at the end of the funnel-like neck of the flange, the pipe is much easier to align to the flange, and a stronger weld is typically possible with this type of flange. The flange’s neck is also perfectly beveled to demonstrate the type of bevel that the welder must place on the pipe before making the connection with the flange.

Key Features:
This is the most common type of high pressure pipe flange.
They are distinguished from other types of pipe flanges by their long tapered hub and gentle transition of thickness in the region of the butt weld joining them to the pipe.
The long tapered hub provides an important reinforcement of the weld neck flange proper in terms of strength and resistance to dishing.
