Socket welding flanges are counter bored to accept the pipe before being fillet welded. The bore of the pipe and flange are both the same therefore giving good flow characteristics. We have with industrial experts who design these flanges with excellence. The Socket welding flanges are offered at market leading rates.
Socket welding flanges
The socket welding flange is similar to a slip-on flange except it has a bore and a counterbore dimension. The counterbore is slightly larger than the O.D. of the matching pipe, allowing the pipe to be inserted into the flange similar to a slip-on flange. The diamter of the smaller bore is the same as the I.D. of the matchine pipe A restriction is built into the bottom of the bore which sets as a shoulder for the pipe to rest on. This is eliminates any restriction in flow when using a socket welding flange.
