Socket Weld Flange (ASME B16.5)
Socket weld flanges to ASME B16.5 - one fillet weld in the socket, specified for small-bore high-pressure piping up to NPS 2-1/2 where a smooth bore is not critical.

Socket weld flanges to ASME B16.5 - one fillet weld in the socket, specified for small-bore high-pressure piping up to NPS 2-1/2 where a smooth bore is not critical.

Lap joint flanges used with lap joint stub ends - the flange rotates freely for easy bolt alignment and dismantling, and allows cost-efficient material combinations such as a carbon steel flange with a stainless stub end.

Threaded flanges to ASME B16.5 - no welding required, the practical type for maintenance, and for weld-restricted areas and small-bore utility connections.

Slip-on flanges to ASME B16.5 / EN 1092-1 - the pipe slips through the bore and is secured by two fillet welds, the economical choice for general service where the joint is not radiographed.

Weld neck flanges to ASME B16.5 / EN 1092-1 - the long tapered hub gives the best joint integrity for high pressure and temperature and for cyclic service, where fatigue strength and stress transfer beat every other flange type.

Blind flanges close pipe ends and vessel nozzles, and are the standard blank for pressure testing and future extensions - no other flange type carries pressure on a flat face. ASME B16.5 Class 150 and 300 dimensions held in stock, Class 600 on request; raised face standard.

The full flange family from one supplier: weld neck (WN) for high-integrity joints; slip-on (SO) with two fillet welds as the economical general-service type; socket weld (SW) for small-bore high-pressure; threaded (TH) for no-welding maintenance; lap joint (LJ) with stub ends for rotating alignment

Hot induction and hot formed bends at 3D to 10D radius to GB/T 12459 (3D), SY/T 5257 and ASME B16.49, or to customer drawing. Compared with standard elbows (R=1.5D), long-radius bends give smoother flow and less pressure drop. Full-length induction bending is followed by solution treatment per grade

Long and short pattern lap joint stub ends to MSS SP-43 and ASME B16.9, used with lap joint flanges: the lapped end forms the sealing face while the flange rotates freely for easy bolt alignment and dismantling - allowing cost-efficient combinations such as carbon steel flange with stainless stub en

2:1 ellipsoidal butt-weld caps to ASME B16.9 and GB/T 12459, DN15-DN600. Sizes DN350 and above can be plate-formed and welded to reduce weight and cost; extended straight lengths (extended E) available for easier field welding. Standard raw material grades ASTM A403 TP304/304L, 316/316L; duplex 2205

Concentric reducers for symmetrical pipe transitions and eccentric reducers that keep one side flat - the standard solution at pump suctions, where the flat side avoids gas and liquid pockets. DN15-DN600, Sch 5S-160, ASME B16.9, EN 10253-4 and GB/T 12459. Standard raw material grades ASTM A403 TP304

Equal (straight) tees and four-way crosses to ASME B16.9, EN 10253-4 and GB/T 12459 for 90 degree branching, DN15-DN600, Sch 5S-160. Reducing tees and 45 degree laterals in equal and reducing types are supplied from the same series - full dimension sheets on request. Full dimensional inspection with
