ASTM A182 Stainless Steel Flange Weld NECK Flange ManufacturerASME B16.5

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.

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.

300LB SO flanges is a commonly used pressure of flanges,all flanges could be 150LB,300LB,600LB,900LB,1500LB,2500LB.Stainless steel forged flanges are always used in chemical environment because of the great anti-corrosive function.The most popular stainless steel grades are A182 F304/304L and A182 F316/316L.

Class 300 LAPJ flanges are used with lap joint stub end.The pressures for ASME B16.5 forged flanges including 150LB,300LB,600LB,900LB,1500LB12500LB.

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

Flange connection is to fix two pipes, pipe fittings or equipment on a flange first, and then Flange pads are added between the flange plates and fastened together with bolts to complete the connection

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.

What is a Weld Neck Flange and its 2 different shapes

The difference between ASME/ANSI and API

What is a SW flange and what about its specification.

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.

The purpose of these is to block off a section of pipe or a nozzle on a vessel that is not used. (A nozzle is typically a pipe coming out of a vessel and is usually flanged so it can be connected to valves or piping). 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.

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.

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.

Steel Flange Fittings 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.

What is a BLIND FLANGE and what about its specification and advantages.

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.

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.

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.

ASTM A105 Forged Fittings 300# WN Flange
Size Range: 1/2″ – 48″/ DN15 – DN1200
Rressure rating: Class 150, 300, 600, 900, 1500, 2500lb

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

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.

What is a Spectacle Flange and what about its specification and advantages.

Class 600 WN flange is a high pressure flange.Flanges have many pressures:CL300, CL600, CL900, CL1500, CL2500.ASME B16.5 is the American Standard for flanges.Flanges have five face types:RF RTJ FF MF TG.

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.

Face Type of a WELD NECK flange

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.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.

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#.
