The weld neck flange (WN) is a highly versatile and widely utilized flange type, designed with a long, tapered hub that ensures a robust and seamless connection to pipes.
Ideal for high-pressure and extreme temperature applications, this flange provides an unrestricted flow of fluids through the piping system.
The bore of the weld neck flange aligns with the pipe bore, allowing for a smooth and efficient passage of gases or liquids.
Weld Neck Flange has a cone-shaped neck welded to a pipe or cylinder. It’s a strong, one-piece flange that seals better than slip on flange. But it uses more materials and costs more to make because it needs forging. It’s suitable for high-pressure, temperature, or strict sealing needs.
