The welding neck flange (WN flange) is a premium piping connection component designed for high-pressure, high-temperature, and critical service applications. Characterized by its integrated tapered neck and circular flange disc, it ensures secure sealing and structural stability in industrial pipeline systems. Compliant with global standards, it is widely utilized across oil & gas, chemical, power generation, and marine industries.
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.
Superior Structural Strength: Integrated neck design distributes stress uniformly, withstanding pressures up to Class2500/PN400 and temperatures ranging from -200℃ to 800℃, resistant to mechanical vibration and fatigue.
Reliable Sealing Performance: Precision-finished sealing surfaces (Ra≤3.2μm) paired with compatible gaskets prevent leakage of corrosive, toxic, or high-viscosity media, ensuring operational safety.
Easy Installation & Alignment: Tapered neck provides clear positioning reference, simplifying welding and assembly processes, reducing errors, and improving construction efficiency.
Long Service Life: High-quality materials combined with forging and heat treatment (quenching, tempering) enhance corrosion, wear, and oxidation resistance, extending product lifespan.
Global Interchangeability: Compliance with international standards ensures compatibility with global piping components, facilitating cross-border trade and project collaboration.
