Stainless Steel A182 F316 Weld Neck Flange

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.

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.

What is a WN Flange?and what about its specification

A105 WN flange is a carbon steel flange according to ASME B16.5.STD is represents the thickness of the flange.Flanges have many pressures:CL150, CL300, CL600, CL900, CL1500, CL2500.Flanges have five face types:RF RTJ FF MF TG.

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

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.

What is a Blind Flange?Where are Blind Flanges Most Commonly Used?

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.

What is a weld neck flange and what about its dimensions?

What is a SW flange and what about its specification.

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.

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

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.

Blind flanges are used to seal the end of piping systems or pressure vessel openings.

150 LB blind flange is a flange similar to plug.BL flanges are used to close the pipe system.ASTM A105 forged flange is carbon steel flange in American Matel Standard.

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

Alloy Steel: ASTM A182 F11 / 12 / 5 / 9 / 91 / 92
Stainless Steel: ASTM A182 F304/304L/304H, 316/316L, 321, 310S, 317,347,904L, 1.4404, 1.4437.

Stainless steel flange is popular because stainless steel has great anti-corrosive function.Flanges can be many types:WN,SO,SW,THD,LAPJ,BL.These flanges use different connections to connect with the pipes.Shanghai Zhucheng is a high quality manufactory who can supply all types of flanges.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

High pressure flange carbon steel material: ASTM A105 / A105N, ASTM A350 LF2/LF3, ASTM A694 F42 / 46 / 56 / 60 / 65, P235GH, P265GH, P280GH, P355GH

There are 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). We also supply alloy steel flanges and stainless steel flanges .

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.
