Welding neck flanges are a type of industrial piping component used to connect pipes and tubes in various industrial applications.
Where To Use Welding Neck Flanges
Welding neck flanges are commonly used in high-pressure and high-temperature applications, such as petrochemical plants, power generation stations, and oil refineries.
Key Features Of Welding Neck Flanges
Flange type: welding neck flange
Face type: raised face
Bolt holes: number of bolt holes varies depending on size and material
Material: various materials such as steel, stainless steel, and ductile iron
Size: available in different sizes to fit specific piping requirements

How To Use Welding Neck Flanges
Inspect flange for any damage or defects before use
Clean the flange and pipe ends before assembly
Apply a thin layer of lubricant to the gasket area before assembly
Tighten bolts in a star pattern to avoid over-tightening
How Welding Neck Flanges Is Manufactured
Welding neck flanges are manufactured using various processes, including forging, casting, and machining.
Technical Specification Of Welding Neck Flanges
Material:
Steel, Stainless Steel, Ductile Iron
Size:
1/2" to 48"
Thickness:
Sch. 10, Sch. 40, Sch. 80

The technical specification of welding neck flanges includes various parameters such as material, size, thickness, number of bolt holes, and outside diameter. The choice of material depends on the application and environment in which the flange will be used. The size of the flange is determined by the pipe size and the specific requirements of the piping system. The thickness of the flange is typically specified as a schedule (Sch.) value, with higher schedules indicating thicker flanges. The number of bolt holes varies depending on the size and material of the flange. Finally, the outside diameter of the flange must match the pipe size to ensure proper fitment.
