Socket Weld Flange
- Product Description
-
Socket Weld Flange – Small-bore, high-pressure, one fillet weld
Socket Weld Flanges (SW Flanges) achieve smooth, high-strength connections without threaded joints or full-penetration welding. Insert the pipe into the socket until it abuts the shoulder, back off 1/16 inch to allow for thermal expansion, then apply a single fillet weld on the outside. Their static strength matches that of socket-weld flanges, while fatigue life improves by approximately 50%, making them particularly suitable for pipelines experiencing frequent pressure or temperature fluctuations.

Features of Socket Weld Flanges
Single-corner weld - No internal weld, preventing flow obstruction or crevice corrosion
Smooth bore - Pipe ID matches flange bore for low fluid resistance
Compact hub - Suitable for confined pipe racks, dense piping layouts, and skid-mounted modules
High rigidity: Socket weld flanges offer excellent rigidity, withstanding pressure and temperature variations per ASME B16.5.
Typical Applications
High-pressure steam tracing pipes
Hydraulic and lubricating oil pipelines
Chemical injection lines
Sampling points on main pipelines
Fire protection pipeline networks
