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.
