Socketweld Flange 150# Raised Face (RF) 316/316L SS A/SA182

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

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.

An assembly with limited space may be an instance in which a socket weld is selected, provided the pressure class is comparatively low and the fluid is not corrosive or for extremely high temperature service.

Socket weld (SW) flange is a type of forged flanges,these flanges can socket and wedled with pipes,you could find the flanges specifications in the content below.Stainless steel flanges are popular because the stainless steel has great corrosion resistance so that these flanges can used in some corrosive environments.

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.

Stainless steel slip on flanges are popular type of flanges because of the great material and flexible applications.Pressures of flanges:CL150,CL300,CL600,CL900,CL1500,CL2500.ASTM A182 F316L and ASTM A182 F304 are both popular grades of stainless steel.

What is a Socket Weld Flange,what abut its specification and advantages

Reducing pipe (reducing nipple) is a pipe fitting used for straight-line connection of two pipes with different sizes to realize pipe diameter reduction. There are concentric reducing joints and eccentric reducing joints

ASME B16. 5 pipe flanges: Weld Neck Flange ( WN),Slip-on Flange (SO), Threaded Flange (THD),Socket Weld Flange (SW),Blind Flange (BL),Lap Joint Flange (LAPJ),Plate flange (PL)

A182 F304 forged flanges are stainless steeel flanges,ASME B16.5 SW flanges are socket weld flanges following American Standard specifications.

A flange can be defined as a method that helps in connecting pipes, valves, etc., to form a full piping system. There are seven flange classes ranging: #150, #300,#400, #600, #900, #1500 #2500.

900LB slip on flange can slip on the pipes and welded with the pipes.Stainless steel flanges are popular because of the an-ti corrosive function.Stainless steel flange can used over 50 years.Flanges have many pressures:CL150, CL300, CL600, CL900, CL1500, CL2500.

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.

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.

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.

orged steel flange is a disc-shaped piece of equipment used to connect a pipe to fittings or valve or other component to form a pipework system. Usually flange has been attached to pipe or tube end to, and then a gasket is inserted in the middle to form a seal. Finally they are joined together with bolts and nuts.

600LB Silp On (SO) Flange can slip on the pipes and welding with the pipes.Stainless steel flange are popular because of the an-ti corrosive function.Stainless steel pipe fittings can used over 50 years.

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.

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 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.

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.

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, 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.

ASME B16.5 flange is a flange made accoding to American matal standaed.Class 150 WN flange is the lowest pressure of flange.Flanges have many pressures:CL150, CL300, CL600, CL900, CL1500, CL2500.

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.

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.

What is a Blind Flange,what about its specification and its advantages

These pipe flanges 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 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.

Threaded Flanges are also known as screwed flange, and it is having a thread inside the flange bore which fits on the pipe with matching male thread on the pipe.
