Enhanced Sealing Performance Weld Neck Flange ASME B16.5 DN80 Class 150
1. Product Description
A Weld Neck Flange is a type of pipe flange characterized by a long, tapered hub that is gradually welded to a pipe through a butt weld (a type of circumferential butt weld) . This design is integral for high-integrity applications. It is typically manufactured from forged steel for superior strength and is designed to handle high-pressure environments, typically ranging from 1 MPa to 25 MPa . The flange is part of two main international standard systems: the European system (PN series) and the American system (Class series) .

3. Product Applications
Weld Neck Flanges are designed for demanding services and are widely used in:
High-Pressure and High-Temperature Pipelines .
Pipelines transporting flammable, explosive, or toxic media .
Applications with significant temperature or pressure fluctuations .
Critical industries such as Petroleum & Gas, Chemical Processing, Pharmaceutical, and Shipbuilding .
4. Product Advantages
Excellent Strength and Stress Distribution: The long, tapered hub provides a smooth transition from the pipe to the flange, significantly reducing stress concentration and increasing the flange's rigidity and resistance to deformation .
Superior Sealing Performance: Robust construction and various sealing face options make it ideal for maintaining a leak-tight seal in severe service conditions .
High-Integrity Connection: The butt weld connection offers a full penetration weld, which has higher fatigue strength and is more reliable than fillet welds, making it suitable for applications with vibration and bending moments .
Durability: Can withstand high pressure (up to ~25 MPa), high temperature, and repeated cycling
