Weld Neck Flange
A weld neck flange (WN flange) moves stress from the bolt circle into the pipe wall. The long tapered hub lowers stress concentration at the weld toe, while the bore matches the pipe ID so flow remains smooth. The result is the same fatigue life as the pipe itself—reason enough for every high-pressure or high-cyclic line to start with this forging.

Why operators pick a weld neck flange
Full-penetration weld – joint strength equals pipe wall
Smooth bore – no internal step, keeps pressure drop low
Same rating line – meets ASME B16.5 & B16.47 up to 2500 lb
Ready to rotate – 2 mm machining stock on every sealing face
Clean UT – Class C/c, no recordable flaw > 2 mm
Typical services
Crude oil transmission mains
LNG loading lines
Steam turbine crossover pipes
Sub-sea flow-line jumpers
Hydrogen recycle headers
Supply condition
As-forged, shot-blasted, centre bore and bevel machined; 2 mm finish allowance on raised face.
Full EN 10204 3.1 certificate, Charpy tested to -46 °C on request.Need a hub that moves stress into the pipe instead of the gasket? Send the NPS, schedule and rating, and we will quote a weld neck flange in 24 h.
Sealing Surface Selection Tips
RF Low-Medium Pressure + Non-Hazardous Media → Asbestos/Asbestos-Free Gaskets Sufficient
RTJ > 600 lb or High Temperature/Pressure → Metal Ring Gaskets, Single-Use Seals, Replace Upon Disassembly
FF Only for ≤ 300 lb and Difficult-to-Align Old Pipeline Retrofits
