Weld-Neck Flanges

Weld neck flanges can be easily identified by their long tapered hub, which provides critical reinforcement when welded to pipe. When the neck of the flange is welded to a pipe, stress is transferred from the flange and distributed to the pipe itself, providing additional support. Weld neck flanges are often used in applications that involve high pressure and extreme temperatures. World Wide Metric offers raised face weld neck flanges according to EN 1092-1/11 and ANSI/ASME B16.5 standards, in both carbon steel and stainless steel.
