Stainless Steel Socket Weld Flange

Stainless Steel Socket Weld Flange

Forged stainless steel socket weld flange is a type of flange manufactured through forging process, using socket welding connection method. The forging process endows it with a denser internal structure, making its strength and toughness far superior to ordinary flanges. Socket welding connection is easy to operate, has good sealing performance, and effectively prevents pipeline leakage.

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.
