Welding neck flange
Welding neck flange 1. Exceptional structural integrity: Features a integrated neck design that distributes stress evenly, reducing concentration points and enhancing resistance to high pressure, high temperature, and mechanical vibration. 2. Superior sealing performance: Precision-machined sealing surface (RF, FF, RTJ, etc.) ensures tight connection, minimizing leakage risks even in harsh media (corrosive, toxic, high-viscosity) environments. 3. High durability & reliability: Manufactured from high-quality carbon steel, stainless steel (SUS304/SUS316), or alloy steel, with strict heat treatment and quality control, ensuring long service life and stable performance under extreme working conditions. 4. Easy installation & alignment: The neck structure provides clear alignment reference for pipes, simplifying welding and assembly processes, improving construction efficiency, and reducing installation errors. 5. Wide pressure & temperature range: Complies with international standards (ASME B16.5, EN 1092-1, JIS B2220, GB/T 9115) with pressure ratings from PN6 to PN420/Class150 to Class2500, suitable for -200℃ to 800℃ working environments. 6. Versatile application: Ideal for industrial pipelines in oil & gas, chemical, petrochemical, power generation, water treatment, and marine industries, adapting to both standard and custom requirements. 7. Cost-effective in long term: Resistant to wear, corrosion, and fatigue, reducing maintenance frequency and replacement costs, providing long-term economic benefits for industrial systems. 8. Compatibility with international standards: Standardized dimensions and specifications ensure interchangeability with global pipeline components, facilitating cross-border trade and project collaboration.
1. Core Structure
Tapered Neck: Welded to the pipeline via butt welding. Its tapered design enables a smooth transition with the inner wall of the pipeline, significantly reducing stress concentration.
Circular Flange Disc: Equipped with evenly distributed bolt holes for fastening to another flange using bolts. The sealing surface of the disc is designed in various styles based on working conditions, including Raised Face (RF), Flat Face (FF), Ring Type Joint (RTJ), etc. Sealing gaskets are used to ensure tightness at the connection.
