Weld Neck Flange
Fusion Fittings is a leading flange manufacturer in China, producing standard, specialty and custom flanges. When you need a durable, economical and high-quality weld neck flange, call Fusion Fittings.
The weld neck flange can be easily recognized by its long tapered hub which provides critical reinforcement when welded to the pipe. When the flange neck is welded to the pipe, stresses are transferred from the flange and distributed to the pipe itself, providing additional support. Butt-welding flanges are typically used in applications involving high pressures and extreme temperatures.Fusion offers raised face butt-welding flanges to EN 1092 -1:2007 and ANSI/ASME B16.5 in both carbon and stainless steel.
What is a weld neck flange?
Weld neck flanges are a type of flange used to connect pipes and provide a secure and leak-proof joint. They are typically used in high-pressure and high-temperature applications and are designed to withstand extreme stress and strain.
Weld neck flanges have a long, tapered neck that is welded to the pipe or fitting. This provides added strength and support to the joint and reduces the risk of the flange pulling away from the pipe. The neck of the flange also provides easy access for cleaning and inspection.
One of the key features of weld neck flanges is that they have a raised face that is machined to a specific height and finish. This allows the flange to mate with a gasket, which helps to create a tight and secure seal between the flange and the pipe. The raised face also provides a greater sealing surface area, which makes the joint more resistant to leaks and other forms of damage.
Weld neck flanges are available in a variety of sizes and materials, including carbon steel, stainless steel, and alloy steel. They are commonly used in industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, and power generation.

Advantages of Weld Neck Flanges
High strength: Weld neck flanges are one of the strongest types of flanges available. They are designed to withstand high pressure and high temperatures, making them suitable for use in applications where there is a lot of stress on the flange.
Leakage prevention: Because weld neck flanges are welded directly to the pipe, they create a strong and secure seal that is less likely to leak than other types of flanges. This makes them a good choice for high-pressure applications where leaks can be dangerous.
Better flow: The tapered hub of a weld neck flange allows for a smooth transition of fluid or gas, which can help to reduce turbulence and pressure drop. This can result in improved flow rates and increased efficiency.
Durability: Weld neck flanges are made from high-quality materials that are designed to withstand wear and tear over time. They are less likely to corrode or degrade than other types of flanges, which can help to extend their lifespan and reduce maintenance costs.
