WN FLANGES RF 1″ 600LB A105N B16.5

Class 300 LAPJ flanges are used with lap joint stub end.The pressures for ASME B16.5 forged flanges including 150LB,300LB,600LB,900LB,1500LB12500LB.

All flanges are round disks with holes for bolts around the rim, but the commonalities end there. a projecting flat rim used for strengthening or attachment.

What is a blind flang,what about its specification and advantage.

A flange can be defined as a method that helps in connecting pipes, valves, etc., to form a full piping system. There are six flange classes ranging from #150 to #2500. Governed by B 16.5 standards, the ASME B16. 5 Class 300 Flange provides a pressure capacity of 300Lb.

Some information abou SO Flange.

The specification of ASTM A182 Forged Pipe Fittings includes forged fittings, stainless steel, rolled alloy, forged alloy, pipe flanges as well as high-temperature service. Later then forgings and hot working, it would be cooled down to a certain temperature before heat treatment.
The Alloy Steel A182 Threaded Elbow material grade contains ASTM A182 F11 / 12 / 5 / 9 / 91 / 92 / 22.

Reducing pipe (reducing nipple) is a pipe fitting used for straight-line connection of two pipes with different sizes to realize pipe diameter reduction. There are concentric reducing joints and eccentric reducing joints

Standards and application Referred for WN flange and application

ASME B16.5 SW flange is belong to American Standard for forged flanges,this kind of flange are been used all over the word.Forged flanges are high pressure flanges,the commonly used classes are CL 300,CL 600 for forged flanges.Stainless steel flanges always more expensive than other flanges because of the stainless steel has better functions.

orged steel flange is a disc-shaped piece of equipment used to connect a pipe to fittings or valve or other component to form a pipework system. Usually flange has been attached to pipe or tube end to, and then a gasket is inserted in the middle to form a seal. Finally they are joined together with bolts and nuts.

Socket Weld Half Couplings is utilised in various applications in order to provide a torque free sealing and a leak free connection. Socket weld coupling is a very short section of pipes with socket bore at both ends or one end, but both can afford high pressure of 3000#, 6000#, 9000#. The Socket Weld Half Coupling are often directly welded to the run pipe, to form a branch connection.

Alloy Steel: ASTM A182 F11 / 12 / 5 / 9 / 91 / 92
Stainless Steel: ASTM A182 F304/304L/304H, 316/316L, 321, 310S, 317,347,904L, 1.4404, 1.4437.

Classification of weld neck flange

A weld neck flange consists of a circular fitting with a protruding rim around the circumference. Generally machined from a forging, these flanges are typically butt welded to a pipe. The rim has numerous holes drilled into it that enables the flanged to be attached to a bolted flange.

All flanges are round disks with holes for bolts around the rim, but the commonalities end there. a projecting flat rim used for strengthening or attachment.

Class 600 WN flange is a high pressure flange.Flanges have many pressures:CL300, CL600, CL900, CL1500, CL2500.ASME B16.5 is the American Standard for flanges.Flanges have five face types:RF RTJ FF MF TG.

Class 600 WN flange is a high pressure flange used in piping system.ASTM A350 LF2 is represents to low temperature carbon steel in American Metal Standard.Flanges have many pressures:CL300, CL600, CL900, CL1500, CL2500.

WN flanges is the most popular type of flanges.ASTM A182 F304 is a American standard grade of stainless steel.The other popular grade is A182 F316.ASME B16.5 forged flanges inculding WN flange,SO flange,SW flange,THD flange,LAPJ flange,BL flange.All types of flanges have pressures:150#,300#,600#,900#,1500#,2500#.

Many times a nozzle will be blanked off with a blind flange for pressure tests in a plant, or simply because the customer does not need all the nozzles that were supplied on the tank.

The equal cross is one kind of the pipe cross,  the equal cross means all the 4 ends of the cross are in same diameter.
The reducing cross also is called unequal pipe cross , it is the pipe cross which the four branch ends are not in the same diameters.

A swage nipple is something similar to that of a reducer but it is used to join the butt welded pipe with a socket welded or screwed pipe.Like the reducer,swage nipple is also available with two variations:concentric swage nipple and eccentric swage nipple.The swage nipple generally adopts the MSS SP-95 or the BS3799 Standard.
