Socket Weld Flanges
Socket weld flanges feature a counter-bored bore that accepts the pipe, secured by a fillet weld around the hub, making them ideal for high-pressure systems like hydraulic and steam lines. The bore matches the pipe’s inner diameter, ensuring smooth flow.
These flanges, with optional internal welds for added strength in high-stress applications, are widely used in industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, and power generation for their reliability and compact design.
Socket weld flanges are designed for high-pressure piping systems, resembling slip-on flanges but with a counter-bored bore that accommodates the pipe’s outer diameter. A fillet weld around the hub secures the connection, and an optional internal weld can be added for enhanced durability in demanding conditions. The flange’s bore aligns with the pipe’s inner diameter, minimizing turbulence and ensuring efficient flow, making them suitable for critical applications like steam and hydraulic lines.
Socket weld flanges are manufactured to meet industry standards, ensuring compatibility and performance in high-pressure applications.
