Weld Neck Flanges
Weld Neck Flanges are a very common type of pipe flanges used in various industrial applications. They have a long tapered hub and are often used for high pressure applications.
Uses of weld neck flanges:
- The weld neck flange is very resistant to dishing and has a very sturdy connection because it has the pipe along with the tapered hub.
- The flanges are ideal for extreme fluctuations of temperature.
- They are ideal in environments where there may be a lot of bending and handling of the flanges.
- Preferred in an environment with extreme temperature conditions.
- This type of flange is preferred for every severe service condition¡ªresulting from high pressure or from sub-zero or elevated temperature.
- They are used in situations where loading conditions are substantially constant or fluctuate between wide limits.
- This is probably the best welding flange available because of its high, heavy neck.
- Highly recommended wherever a sound welded joint connection is needed.
