Welding Neck flange

Welding neck Flange antong supplies weld neck Flanges, WN forged Flange, welding-neck Flanges in forged steel, Stainless Steel, AS,CS etc.

Weld Neck Flange is flanges that designed to be joined to a piping system by butt welding. This kind of flange include lots of specification,Weld neck Flange is expensive because of its long neck and cost of people for contact WN flange with pipeline or fitting, but is preferred for high stress applications. The necks, or hubs, transmits stresses to the pipeline. The gradual transition of thickness from the base of the hub to the wall thickness at the butt weld provides important reinforcement of the Weld Neck flange. The bore of Weld-Neck flange matches bore of the pipeline, reducing turbulence and erosion.

 Details of Welding Neck flange

1. Weld Neck flange 2. Butt Weld
3. Pipe or Fitting

 Welding Neck Flanges are easy to recognize at the long tapered hub, that goes gradually over to the wall thickness from a pipe or fitting.

The long tapered hub provides an important reinforcement for use in several applications involving high pressure, sub-zero and / or elevated temperatures. The smooth transition from flange thickness to pipe or fitting wall thickness effected by the taper is extremely beneficial, under conditions of repeated bending, caused by line expansion or other variable forces.

These flanges are bored to match the inside diameter of the mating pipe or fitting so there will be no restriction of product flow. This prevents turbulence at the joint and reduces erosion. They also provide excellent stress distribution through the tapered hub and are easily radiographed for flaw detection.

Weld Neck Orifice Run

This flange type will be welded to a pipe or fitting with a single full penetration, V weld (Buttweld).

The Types and Uses of Weld Neck Flanges

Weld neck flanges have long tapered hubs that are butt welded to a pipe or fitting. The conditions they are used in are usually severe. Conditions are sometimes constant or have wide fluctuations.

The Two Types of Weld Neck Flanges

There are two types of weld neck flanges, which are standard and long. Standard weld neck flanges are used in butt weld fittings. Long weld neck flanges are used with vessel nozzles and equipment. The flanges are created to match the pipe’s inside diameter or fitting. The reason why it is bored to match is because it reduces the corrosion and turbulence that takes place inside of the pipe.

Long Weld Neck Flanges

 

Long Neck Welding (abbreviated LWN) flanges are similar to a standard Welding Neck flange, but the "Neck" is considerably longer. This type is often used as a nozzle for a barrel or column. In addition, there are the type LWN Heavy Barrel (HB) and the Equal LWN Barrel (E); they have a different shape and a thicker "Wall".

Long weld neck flanges are called by this name due to their longer neck as compared to standard flanges. These flanges are used in applications as nozzles for columns or barrels.

Applications that Use Weld Neck Flanges

Weld neck flanges are used in applications where the conditions are severe and critical. Some of these conditions include high pressure, wide fluctuations in temperature and pressure, high temperature, fluids that are volatile and hazardous, and temperatures in the sub-zero range.

Meeting ASME Standards

Forged Components offers standard connections in a full range of pressure rating classes and sizes as according to ASME standards of ASME Section VIII Div. 1 and ASME B16.5 in the latest specifications. Connections can also be manufactured to match ASME Section VIII Div. 2 or other specifications desired. ANSI flanges are manufactured according to the material grades and customer’s custom orders.

Weld Neck Pipe Flanges

Weld neck pipe flanges attach to the pipe by welding the pipe to the neck of the pipe flange.  The allows for the transfer of stress from the weld neck pipe flanges to the pipe itself.  This also reduces high stress concentration at the base of the hub of the weld neck pipe flanges.  Weld neck pipe flanges are often used for high pressure applications.  The inside diameter of a weld neck pipe flange is machined to match the inside diameter of the pipe.  Weld Neck Pipe flanges with a hub have published specifications that range from 1/2" thru 96".  Sunny Steel provides Weld Neck pipe flanges in all material grades, specifications and sizes.

Weld neck pipe flanges are typically provided with a raised face, flat face, or RTJ facing.  When a raised face is necessary for weld neck pipe flanges, the standard height is 1/16" for weld neck pipe flanges under 400#.  For weld neck pipe flanges of 400# and up, the standard weld neck pipe flange raised face height is 1/4".

Sunny Steel  manufactures weld neck pipe flanges in all steel material grades, including carbon weld neck pipe flanges, stainless steel weld neck pipe flanges and alloy weld neck pipe flanges.  Sunny Steel  also has many different weld neck pipe flanges in stock and ready to ship.  Weld neck pipe flanges in stock include ANSI B16.5 weld neck pipe flanges, ASME B16.47 Series "A" weld neck pipe flanges, ASME B16.47 Series "B" weld neck pipe flanges, Pressure Vessel weld neck pipe flanges.  Sunny Steel also manufactures custom weld neck pipe flanges per customer requirements.

AWWA Standard flange

Since the first edition of the AWWA Standard C207 was printed in 1952, AWWA flanges have commonly been used in waterworks, wastewater, slurry, plant piping, and other light duty applications. Pressure ratings for AWWA flanges range from the Class B flange rated at 86 psi to the Class F flange rated at 300 psi. The AWWA C207-01 standard describes two types of slip-on flanges, ring type and hub type that may be used interchangeably if the dimensions given in the standard are used. The standard also describes blind flanges. Flanges described in the AWWA C207-01 tables are intended for use with steel pipe, fittings or appurtenances meeting the requirements of ANSI/AWWA C200, ANSI/AWWA C208, ASTM A134, ASTM 139, or other equivalent standards. It is further intended that these flanges be attached by welding in accordance with AWWA C207-01 Sec.4.3.

Dimensional tolerances

Pressure Ratings

As per AWWA C207-01 Sec. 1.3, the pressure ratings listed for AWWA Class B, D, E and F flanges are for conditions and temperatures customary in water utility services. The pressure ratings for the flange should be based on the design of the maximum operating pressure plus the anticipated sure pressure. Test pressures should not exceed 125 percent of the ratings. Flange design is based on pressure considerations, not for stresses induced by external moments when pipe acts as a beam. The tables of the AWWA C207-01 standard have been developed using a design stress of 16,000 psi for the working pressure design.

Flange Material

As per AWWA C207-01, Sec 4.1, flanges shall be made from seamless forgings, cut from plate as a single piece, welded bar rings or segmented and welded plates as per C207-01 Sec 4.2.4.

Forgings shall meet the minimum requirements or ASTM A105 or A181.

Steel plate or bar used in the manufacture of flanges shall meet the following requirements:

1. Tensile strength = 50,000 psi (345 mpa) (min.)
2. Yield strength = 32,000 psi (221 mpa) (min.)
3. Carbon = 0.29 percent (max.)
4. Phosphorous = 0.04 percent (max.)
5. Sulfur = 0.05 percent (max.)

Plate steel designations that will meet the previously listed requirements include but are not limited to the following designation:

1. A36
2. A516, grade 60, 65, and 70

Pacific Coast Flange Inc will provide mill test reports showing conformance to the physical and chemical requirements for all flanges ordered.

Flange Facing

As per AWWA C207-01 Sec 4.2.2, all AWWA flanges shall be flat-faced without projection or raised area of face. Either a serrated concentric or serrated spiral finish having from 24 grooves per inch to 470 grooves per inch shall be used. The cutting tool employed shall have an approximate 0.06 inch or larger radius. The resultant surface finish shall have a 250 to 500-uin. roughness.

Drilling Templates

As per AWWA C207-01 Sec. 4.2.3 drilling templates are in multiples of four so that fittings can be make to face any quarter. Bolt holes shall straddle the center line, except where special mating conditions exist and shall be drilled 1/8 in. (3.2mm) larger in diameter than the nominal diameter of the bolt, except on flanges larger that 84 inches (2,100mm) diameter, bolt holes shall be drilled 3/16 inches (4.8mm) larger than the nominal bolt diameter. Bolt holes may be over drilled by an additional 1/8 in (3.2mm) to accommodate insulators or to facilitate alignment with the mating flange.

Flange Marking

Flanges shall be steel stamped with the trademark, nominal size, class, material designation and material heat number.
