Carbon Steel ASTM A105N Forged Flange Spectacle Flange Manufacturer ASME B16.5

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Classification of weld neck flange

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.

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.

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. 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 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.

Welding neck flange benefits

Some information abou SO Flange.

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.

The descipton ,specification ,and advantages of a weld neck flange.

The connection method of A182 F11 socket flange is to insert the pipe into the socket of the flange, and then seal it with welding or use a sealing gasket. This connection method is relatively strong and can adapt to the thermal expansion and contraction of the pipe to a certain extent.

What is a SW flange and what about its specification.

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.

Carbon steel flange, that is, the body material is carbon steel plate or end flange connection. The flanges containing carbon steel are called carbon steel flanges. Common materials are carbon steel ASTM A105 / A105N, ASTM A350 LF2/LF3, ASTM A694 F42 / 46 / 56 / 60 / 65, P235GH, P265GH, P280GH, P355GH. Besides carbon steel flanges, we also supply alloy steel flanges and stainless steel flanges .

Slip on flange also named as SO flange. SO flanges slip over pipes and are designed to bit slightly bigger on the inside than the pipe. They connect to the pipe through a fillet weld at the flange top and bottom.

TOE means threaded at one end when translated. Thus, we can say that a nipple TOE is a nipple that has one threaded end.
In this case, we have the acronym TBE for “threaded both ends” which means threaded at both ends. In other words, this is the most typical type of nipple as described above for connecting two parts or fittings with female threading.

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

SW flange can be used in many applications in piping systems.SW Flanges are forged flanges.Socket weld flange has many classes:150LB, 300LB, 600LB, 900LB, 1500LB, 2500LB.Stainless steel flanges have better functions than other flanges which made from carbon steel or alloy steel.

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.

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.

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.
