Forged welded neck flanges DN 1/2″-48″ ASTM A105 A350 A182

It is generally used in non-corrosive, non-critical, moderate pressure services. Slip on flanges of Class 150 and Class 300 are most commonly seen in utility engineering. Similar to welding neck flange, the slip on flange conforming to ASME B16.5 may generally be furnished with three facing types: raised face (RF), flat face/ full face (FF), or ring type joint (RTJ).

Stainless steel 316L LAPJ flange has great anti-corrosive function,it always used with lap joint stub end of same material.ASME B 16.5 forged flange have soem pressures:CL150,CL300,CL600,CL900,CL1500,CL2500.You could find the comparison between LAPJ flanges,SO flanges and WN flanges below.

Stainless steel spectacle blind has better anti-corrosive function than other material of spectacle blinds.ASME B 16.48 is a commonly used standard for spectacle blindThe joint face can be RF (Raised Face), FF (Flat Face), RTJ (Ring Joint),it is depend on the type of flanges.

What is a WN Flange?and what about its specification

The equal cross is one kind of the pipe cross,  the equal cross means all the 4 ends of the cross are in same diameter.
The reducing cross also is called unequal pipe cross , it is the pipe cross which the four branch ends are not in the same diameters.

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.

Stainless steel pipe fittings including Tee,Cross, Elbow, Reducer, Coupling, Nipple, Plug & Cap,Union.They can be connected with pipes by welding, socket and thread.

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.

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.

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.

ASME B16.5 SW flange is belong to American Standard for forged flanges,this kind of flange are been used all over the word.Forged flanges are high pressure flanges,the commonly used classes are CL 300,CL 600 for forged flanges.Stainless steel flanges always more expensive than other flanges because of the stainless steel has better functions.

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.

Standards and application Referred for WN flange and application

The specification of ASTM A182 Forged Pipe Fittings includes forged fittings, stainless steel, rolled alloy, forged alloy, pipe flanges as well as high-temperature service. Later then forgings and hot working, it would be cooled down to a certain temperature before heat treatment.
The Alloy Steel A182 Threaded Elbow material grade contains ASTM A182 F11 / 12 / 5 / 9 / 91 / 92 / 22.

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.

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.

ASTM A182 F316 is a popular grade for stainless steel in American Standard.Stainless steel fittings are popular because of the an-ti corrosive function.Stainless steel pipe fittings can used over 50 years.

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.

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 Weld Neck Flange and its 2 different shapes

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.

Materials of WN Flanges

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,what about its specification and its advantages

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.

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. The bore of the slip on will give ample amount of space for the matching pipe.

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

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.

Socket Weld Half Couplings is utilised in various applications in order to provide a torque free sealing and a leak free connection. Socket weld coupling is a very short section of pipes with socket bore at both ends or one end, but both can afford high pressure of 3000#, 6000#, 9000#. The Socket Weld Half Coupling are often directly welded to the run pipe, to form a branch connection.

ASME B16.5 forged flanges are high pressure flansges inculding pressures 150LB,300LB,600LB,900LB,1500LB,2500LB.SS316 CL300 flanges is a kind of stainless steel CL300 flanges.Other popular grades of stainless steel are SS316L,SS304/304L.
