Quantity
The Socked Weld Pipe Flange, model SW, features an RF (Raised Face) design, complies with the ASME B16.5 manufacturing standard, and is made of SS316 stainless steel, offering excellent corrosion resistance and high strength. With a pressure rating of 300LB and a size range from 1/2 inch to 24 inches, it is suitable for various industrial applications. The Socked Weld Pipe Flange is manufactured through a forging process, ensuring a compact structure and reliable performance, making it widely used in critical fields such as water systems, oil, and gas pipelines.
Socket Weld (SW) is a connection method widely used in small-diameter piping systems. Its design features provide significant advantages during installation, especially in space-constrained environments.
1. Structural Features of Socked Weld Pipe Flange
The structural design of the Socked Weld Pipe Flange simplifies and enhances the efficiency of its connection with pipes:
Socket Design: The flange bore includes a socket, allowing the pipe to be directly inserted into the flange bore. The insertion depth is typically 1.5 times the outer diameter of the pipe (specific dimensions refer to the ASME B16.5 standard).

Socket Design: The flange bore includes a socket, allowing the pipe to be directly inserted into the flange bore. The insertion depth is typically 1.5 times the outer diameter of the pipe (specific dimensions refer to the ASME B16.5 standard).
Welding Method: After insertion, a fillet weld is applied at the joint between the flange and the pipe, usually a single-sided weld with a thickness of 1.25 times the pipe wall thickness.
Gap Reservation: A gap of approximately 1.6mm is reserved between the pipe bottom and the flange bore to compensate for thermal expansion and welding stress.
