A Stainless Steel Socket Welding Flange is a type of flange that is specifically designed to be welded directly to the pipe socket. It is commonly used in small pipe diameters and high-pressure applications. The socket welding flange has a socket-like recess on the inner side, which allows for the insertion of the pipe end and welding it in place.

Here are some key characteristics and features of stainless steel socket welding flanges:

Welding Method: The socket welding flange is welded to the pipe socket by inserting the pipe end into the flange socket and performing a fillet weld on the outside. This welding method provides a strong and reliable connection.

Size Range: Socket welding flanges are typically used in small pipe diameters ranging from 1/2" to 3" (DN15 to DN80). They are commonly used in high-pressure applications where socket welding provides a secure joint.

Material: Stainless steel socket welding flanges are made from stainless steel, which offers excellent corrosion resistance, durability, and strength. Stainless steel is commonly used in industries where resistance to rust, oxidation, and staining is required.

Pressure and Temperature Ratings: Socket welding flanges are available in various pressure ratings and temperature limits, depending on the specific grade and thickness of the stainless steel used. It is important to select a flange with appropriate ratings that meet the requirements of the piping system.

Versatility: Stainless steel socket welding flanges are versatile and can be used in various industries and applications, including oil and gas, chemical processing, food and beverage, and more. They are particularly suitable for small pipe sizes and high-pressure systems.

Compact Design: Socket welding flanges have a compact and low-profile design, which makes them suitable for applications where space is limited. The absence of a protruding flange face allows for easy installation and inspection in tight spaces.

Alignment Considerations: Proper alignment of the pipe and the socket welding flange is crucial for a successful weld. The pipe end should be inserted fully into the flange socket to ensure a proper fit and welding surface.

When selecting a stainless steel socket welding flange, it is important to consider factors such as the pipe size, pressure rating, temperature limitations, compatibility with the fluid or gas being transported, and adherence to industry standards (e.g., ANSI/ASME B16.5). Proper welding techniques and procedures should be followed to ensure a strong and leak-free joint.

Overall, stainless steel socket welding flanges provide a reliable and compact solution for joining small diameter pipes in high-pressure applications. The socket welding method offers a secure and efficient connection, making them suitable for various industrial piping systems.
