Stainless Steel A182 F316 Weld Neck Flange

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

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

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.

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.

ASTM A350 LF2 is a low temperature carbon steel material, mainly used to manufacture flanges and other connectors. This material has good low temperature performance and corrosion resistance, and is suitable for use in low or ultra-low temperature environments.

Stainless steel weld neck flange is a part widely used in pipeline engineering. The diameter and wall thickness of the pipe at the interface end are the same as the pipe to be welded, and the connection of the pipe is realized by welding.

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. Large diameter flanges are widely popularized and used in the sewage treatment industry, wind power industry, chemical industry, and machinery industry.

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.

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.

What is a WN Flange?and what about its specification

A105 FF slip on flange is a commonly used pipeline connection element, mainly made of carbon steel, and connected to pipelines or other flanges by flat welding. The structure of the slip on flange is relatively simple.

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.

Welding neck flange benefits

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.

ASTM A105 threaded fittings is commonly used carbon steel grade which is used to manufacture forge piping components such as forged fittings and flange of small diameter piping, generally for piping whose nominal diameter is NPS 2 or smaller.

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.

Class 150 WN flange is the lowest pressure flange in all the flanges,langes also have many pressures:CL300, CL600, CL900, CL1500, CL2500.ASTM A105 is the matal standard for forged flanges and fittings.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Classification of weld neck flange

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.

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.

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.
