Class 600 WN Flange ASTM A350 LF2
Class 600 WN flange is a high pressure flange used in piping system.ASTM A350 LF2 is represents to low temperature carbon steel in American Metal Standard.Flanges have many pressures:CL300, CL600, CL900, CL1500, CL2500.
A weld neck (WN) flange (also known as a high-hub flange and tapered hub flange) is a type of flange. Weld Neck Flange is easy to recognize at the long tapered hub, that goes gradually over to the wall thickness from a pipe or fitting.Class 600 WN flange is a commonly used flange in many industries.ASTM A350 LF2 is represents low temperature carbon steel in American Standard.
A weld neck flange consists of a circular fitting with a protruding rim around the circumference. Generally machined from a forging, these flanges are typically butt welded to a pipe. The rim has numerous holes drilled into it that enables the flanged to be attached to a bolted flange. This design is far better because of the structural valve.
Types:
Standard: used in butt weld fittings
Long: used with vessel nozzles and equipment,used on vessels, columns or barrels.
Facing:
Flat Face Full Face (FF), Raised Face (RF), Male Face(M), Female Face (FM), Tongue Face(T), Groove Face (G), Ring Joint Face ( RTJ/ RJ ).
Advantages:
- Unrestricted product flow
- Prevents turbulence at the joint and reduces erosion
Applications:
The long tapered hub provides an important reinforcement for use in several applications involving high pressure, sub-zero and / or elevated temperatures.
Such flanges are suitable for use in hostile environments that have extremes of temperature, pressure or other sources of stress. This type of flange has been used successfully at pressures up to 5,000 psi.
Weld Neck Flange VS Slip On Flange
The Weld Neck Flange offers increased strength under higher pressures, subzero or elevated temperatures that cause line expansion or retraction or other variable forces. The Slip On Flange is connected to the pipe by two welds, one on the back side of the Flange and one on the inside of the Flange.
