Support Custom Spot Copper-Nickel Flange A Variety Of Specifications

A socket weld flange is a pipe connector that contains a socket and is welded to a socket. Including the socket in the socket weld flange provides a stronger connection than similar slide-in flanges. Socket weld flanges are designed for small high pressure pipes. This type of flange is very popular in chemical plants and requires all flange connections to have smooth flow connections. The advantage of a flange connection is that the pipe can be easily removed from the flange and easily reassembled.

For slide-in flanges, piping must be chamfered so that welding can be performed on the inside and outside of the flanges. The internal welds need to be polished to form smooth flowing connections. Socket welding flanges allow liquids to flow smoothly through the connection without crushing. The socket is designed to have an inner lip as wide as the width of the pipe into which the flange is to be inserted. In this way, the tube can be precisely aligned with the lip of the socket in the flange as the unit is assembled, creating a smooth transition in the flange.
