Overview

A weld neck flange carries a tapered hub that transfers the pipe load into the flange body, so stress is spread over the butt weld instead of concentrated in a fillet. That is why it is the default choice for high pressure, elevated temperature and lines that cycle.

Design

The bore is matched to the pipe inside diameter so there is no step at the weld root; the hub taper follows ASME B16.5 hub dimensions unless a project drawing overrides them.

Butt-weld ends are machined to ASME B16.25 bevels. Face finish is 125–250 AARH for RF and FF, and a smooth 63 AARH for ring-joint grooves.

Faces and joint types

Raised face (RF), flat face (FF), male-and-female (MFM), tongue-and-groove (TG) and ring joint (RJ) are all available; RF is standard.

For hydrogen, sour gas or steam above 400 °C, tell us the gasket type so the groove or face is machined to suit.

What we document

Heat number stamped on the rim, mapped to an EN 10204 3.1 certificate.

Dimensional report, PMI report and, where specified, hardness or impact results.
