What is Weld Neck Flange

A weld-neck flange has a neck and a round tube transition. It is attached to a pipe, so it is also called high neck flange, long neck flange, or short for WN flange.

Long neck form gives it extra strength and stability, and it can be used in many industrial settings.

It is a type of flange that is made to work in places with high temperatures and pressure. It can be used for oil transportation pipelines, ship pipeline systems, and the transport of raw materials in chemical plants, among other things.

Because it has a high structural strength, good sealing performance, resistance to corrosion, and the ability to withstand high temperature and pressure.

Usually weld neck flange can be divided into neck butt welding flange and neck flat welding flange according to the welding process. You can view various weld neck flanges we have produced through the gallery below.

FAQs About Weld Neck Flange

A weld neck flange is a flange with a raised neck in the center for butt-welding to a pipe.

The most common materials for weld neck flange are stainless steel, carbon steel and alloy steel.

The weld neck flange is suitable for pipelines with a high sealing requirement at a nominal pressure of 0.25-4MPa.

The installation steps of weld neck flange are as follows: preparation, cleaning the flange surface, installing the sealing gasket, centering the flange and pipe fittings, spot welding to fix the flange initially, full welding to ensure that the sealing surface and pipe fittings are completely adhering to each other, checking whether the connection is solid and there is no leakage, and then finish the work.

Weld neck flanges are generally more expensive than other types of flanges. Because of their relatively complex design and manufacturing process, the need for a long tapered hub and the precision required to match the flange to the inside diameter of the pipe may increase production costs.

The weld neck flange is cost-effective, easy to fabricate, has good sealing and can be used in places with high pressure.

There are two types of sealing surfaces for weld neck flanges: flat surfaces and protruding surfaces.

The most common sizes of weld neck flange are 1/2 inch – 60 inches.

The manufacturing process of weld neck flange is mainly material selection-heating-forging-heat treatment-machining-inspection-surface treatment, you can contact us if you want to know more specific and detailed manufacturing process.

The price of weld neck flange is affected by many factors such as steel price, flange size, pressure, etc. and transportation cost, manufacturer’s labor site cost, etc., so I can’t provide you with the specific price, if you need, please send us an email to tell us your detailed requirements and we will reply with a detailed quotation in the earliest time for you.
