　　The basic design concept of the socket weld flange, referred to as the SW flange, is similar to that of the flat welding flange with neck. Socket weld flange has a socket hole inside, allowing the pipe to be directly inserted and welded. When welding, a circle of welds must be formed on the back of the flange to ensure the stability of the connection. It is worth noting that due to the gap between the socket weld flange and the pipe, this may cause corrosion problems. To address this problem, another weld can be added inside to effectively prevent corrosion. In addition, the fatigue strength of this socket weld flange welded on both the inside and outside is 5% higher than that of the flat welding flange, while the static strength remains unchanged. When using a socket weld flange, it is necessary to ensure that its inner diameter is consistent with the inner diameter of the pipe to ensure smooth fluid transmission. At the same time, the socket weld flange is mainly suitable for pipe connections with a nominal diameter of less than 50.

Flange Standard

 　　For example, a carbon steel socket flange, which is one of the more inexpensive options has high toughness and moderate tensile strength and very little corrosion resistance properties which makes them ideal for the oil and natural gas industry. On the other hand,carbon steel socket flanges exhibit better properties in terms of not only corrosion resistance, but also tensile strength and other mechanical properties. Which is why carbon steel socket weld flanges are produced in size ranging from NPS ½ inch to 24 inches are suited to applications which demand moderate corrosion resistance properties. The specified stainless steel socket weld flange takes into consideration not only the pressure and temperature requirements but also other parameters such as the size, dimensions, testing and tolerances.
