Welding Neck Flange

A Welding Neck Flange has a neck and a round tube transition and is attached directly to the pipe.

The tapered hub helps provide extra strength and stability while improving stress distribution around the welded connection.

It is suitable for industrial piping systems involving:

  • Oil transportation pipelines
  • Ship piping systems
  • Chemical raw-material transport
  • Large-diameter process pipelines
  • Temperature and pressure variations

The reference page highlights structural strength, sealing performance, corrosion resistance, and resistance to high temperature and pressure as key characteristics of Welding Neck Flanges.
