Weld Neck Flanges

Weld neck flanges have a tapered hub and butt-weld end. Specify the bore to match the pipe wall.

Weld neck flanges showing tapered hubs and bolt holes

Product selection

Start with the pipe. Complete the flange.

The bore and weld end must be checked with the connected pipe. A nominal size by itself cannot establish the inner diameter. Confirm the applicable standard edition, pressure class, facing and material on the same request.

01 / PIPE ENDPipe size + wall

Provide NPS / DN, pipe outside diameter and wall schedule, or a specified finished bore.

02 / FLANGEStandard + class

Identify the dimensional standard and edition, pressure class and facing. For ASME B16.47, specify Series A or Series B.

03 / ORDERMaterial + documents

State the material standard and grade, quantity, drawings and required inspection documents.

Listed product scope

Weld neck flange sizes, materials and standards

The table shows our listed ranges. We can also make custom sizes, thicknesses and other dimensions to your drawing. Send your specifications with your RFQ so we can confirm the details.

Nominal size1/2″ to 60″
Pressure classClass 150 to Class 2500
MaterialsCarbon, stainless and alloy steel; for stainless, specify ASTM A182 grade, e.g. F316L
StandardsASME B16.5, ASME B16.47, API 605, MSS SP-44, DIN, EN 1092-1, GOST, BS and JIS, as applicable
FacingState the required type and mating connection

ASTM A182 F316L identifies the material grade; specify the flange dimensional standard separately. Size and class ranges depend on the selected standard and material. Final dimensions and documents follow the confirmed order.

Dimensional reference

Check the section view against your pipe.

Use this drawing to identify the features to confirm. The symbols describe the supplied illustration; the selected standard and approved drawing govern the actual dimensions.

From selection to quotation

What to include in a weld neck flange RFQ

This short checklist helps us review the welding end, bolting and facing together.

01 / CONNECTED PIPE

Confirm pipe dimensions.

State nominal size, pipe O.D., wall schedule or bore, and any weld-end machining requirement.

02 / MATING CONNECTION

Check class and facing.

Identify standard and edition, pressure class, facing and mating flange or gasket requirements.

03 / APPROVAL DATA

Share project documents.

Include material standard and grade, quantity, destination and drawing revision. For F316L, specify the MTC type, heat-number traceability and any PMI or additional inspection requirements.

Ordering a replacement?Send the approved item reference or drawing. A photograph can help identify the product, but cannot confirm every ordered dimension.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Before you send the enquiry.

Should I specify ASTM A182 F316 or F316L?

F316L is the low-carbon grade, helping reduce the risk of intergranular corrosion after welding. Specify the grade required by your project; accept F316/F316L dual certification only when the material certificate supports both grades. Confirm suitability for the service conditions and applicable pressure-temperature rating.

Which facing details should I confirm for a weld neck flange?

State the required facing and surface-finish requirements from the approved specification. Include the mating flange and gasket requirements where they affect the connection review.

Can the same nominal size have different bores?

Yes. Nominal size alone does not establish the bore or welding-end dimensions. Provide the connected pipe dimensions and wall thickness or required bore; show any taper or special machining on the drawing before approval.

What should I check on the approval drawing?

Check the bore, hub and welding end, overall dimensions, bolt pattern and facing against your piping documents. Resolve any difference before manufacture or ordering.

How should I identify a replacement weld neck flange?

Use an approved drawing or item reference and state the connected pipe dimensions, flange specification, material and facing. A photograph can assist identification but cannot confirm all ordered dimensions.

Does the calculator provide the final shipment weight?

No. The calculator gives a preliminary weight estimate. Final product and shipment weights depend on the confirmed dimensions, material and packaging.
