Stainless Steel Socket Weld Flange
Introduction
Stainless steel socket weld (SW) flanges are forged connectors with recessed bores for inserting and fillet-welding small-diameter pipes.

Size Range
1/2 "~3" (DN15~DN800)

Pressure Level
150LB, 300LB, 600LB, 900LB, 1500LB, DIN PN2.5, PN6, PN10, PN16, PN25, PN40, PN63, PN100

Sealing Surface Type
FF (flat), RF (protruding surface), MF (concave convex surface), TG (tenon and mortise surface), RJ (Ring Connection Surface), OSG (O-ring surface)

Material Grades
Stainless steel, alloy steel, duplex stainless steel, nickel based alloy, low-temperature steel, carbon steel, copper nickel alloy steel, etc

Manufacturing Process
Feeding → re inspection → sawing → heating → forging → heat treatment → rough machining → precision machining → inspection → marking → packing → shipping

FAQ
Q1. How is the sealing of SW?
Far superior to threaded joints; ideal for hazardous or high-pressure systems.
Q2. Is a welding gap necessary?
Yes, a 1.5mm gap is required to buffer thermal expansion during welding.
Q3. Is it corrosion resistant?
Yes. Solution annealing restores the micro-structure for excellent corrosion resistance.
Q4. How to verify quality?
Dye Penetrant Testing (PT) on the finished weld is recommended to detect surface cracks.
