EN1092 PN16 WN

  1. Unmatched Structural Strength: The integrated tapered neck design ensures uniform stress distribution, eliminating concentration points. It withstands extreme pressures (up to Class2500/PN400) and temperatures (-200℃ to 800℃), resisting mechanical vibration and fatigue in harsh industrial environments.

  2. Superior Sealing Reliability: Precision-machined sealing surfaces (Ra≤3.2μm) with multiple options (RF, FF, RTJ, MF) form a tight seal with compatible gaskets. Effectively prevents leakage of corrosive, toxic, high-viscosity, or volatile media, ensuring operational safety.

  3. Easy Installation & Alignment: The tapered neck provides a clear positioning reference for pipelines, simplifying butt welding and assembly. Reduces installation errors, shortens construction time, and lowers labor costs, even for complex pipeline systems.

  4. Exceptional Durability: Manufactured from high-quality materials (carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel) via forging and strict heat treatment (quenching, tempering). Enhances corrosion, wear, and oxidation resistance, extending service life and minimizing maintenance frequency.

  5. Global Compatibility: Complies with international standards (ASME B16.5, EN 1092-1, JIS B2220, GB/T 9115) and regional specifications. Ensures seamless interchangeability with global pipeline components, facilitating cross-border trade and project collaboration.

  6. Versatile Application Adaptability: Suitable for high-pressure, high-temperature, and critical service scenarios across oil & gas, chemical, power generation, marine, and water treatment industries. Accommodates both standard and custom requirements for special media or working conditions.

  7. Cost-Effective Long-Term Solution: Reduces replacement and maintenance costs due to high durability and reliability. Avoids downtime caused by leakage or structural failure, delivering significant economic benefits for industrial systems.

  8. Enhanced Flow Efficiency: The smooth transition between the neck and pipeline inner wall minimizes fluid resistance and pressure loss, optimizing the efficiency of the entire pipeline system.

Tapered Neck: Seamlessly welded to the pipeline via butt welding, the tapered design achieves a smooth transition between the flange neck and pipe inner wall, minimizing stress concentration and enhancing load-bearing capacity.

Flange Disc: Features evenly spaced bolt holes for fastening with matching flanges. The sealing surface is precision-machined into various types (RF, FF, RTJ, MF) to accommodate different media and pressure requirements, paired with gaskets for leak-proof performance.

Special Variant: Long Weld Neck (LWN) Flange with an elongated cylindrical neck (2-3x longer than standard models) for direct welding to pressure vessels or tanks, eliminating the need for additional adapters.
