What is long weld neck flange?
A Long Weld Neck Flange is an integral self-reinforcing Flange connection primarily for ASME Pressure Vessel applications. This design reduced the stress on the neck and transferred it to the base where it connected to the vessel. The Long Weld Neck Flange is the most common of the self-reinforced nozzle designs.
Do long weld neck flanges have schedules?
Long weld neck flange is typically are made with square cuts to replace pipe, not to be welded up to pipe. Due to this, long weld necks do not have schedule bores.
What is BLRF flange?
These flat face steel blind flanges are used to blank off pipelines, valves and pumps, it can also be used as an inspection cover. A blind flange is used to close ends of piping systems. These BLRF Flanges is available in various size, grades, Specification & thickness as per the clents requirments.
What is the difference between slip on and weld neck flange?
The Weld Neck Flange offers increased strength under higher pressures, subzero or elevated temperatures that cause line expansion or retraction or other variable forces. The Slip On Flange is designed to be welded to pipe then a fitting as fittings are designed for butt weld connections.
How do I know what flange I have?
You need to find the outer diameter, the inner diameter, the number of bolt holes, bolt hole diameter, and the bolt circle diameter. Bolt circle diameter (B.C.) is one of the most important measurements to make when identifying a flange.
What is the difference between slip on flange and weld neck flange?
The Weld Neck Flange is easily recognizable by the hub that gradually tapers from the bolted connection to the pipe. The Slip On Flange is connected to the pipe by two welds, one on the back side of the Flange and one on the inside of the Flange.
What are the dimensions of a Class 300 long weld neck flange?

What is a long welding neck flange (LWN)?
ASME B16.5 has endorsed the design of long welding neck flange (LWN), which is also known as straight hub welding flange. The LWN flange is constructed by two sections: the upper section is a heavy-wall barrel, whilst the lower section is a disc-like plate flange with all dimensions conforming to ASME B16.5 standard flanges.
What should be checked during the dimensional inspection of a flange?
During the dimensional inspection of a flange, you should check for Flange Thick. Flange Thick. Flange Thick. Flange Thick. Flange Thick. Flange Thick. Flange Thick. Disclaimer – Please check with ASME B16.5 Before using.
What is the dimensional tolerance of the LWN flange?
The LWN flange shall be provided with square cut end unless otherwise specified by the purchaser. Particularly, the dimensional tolerance for X (diameter of hub) is (+3.0 mm, -0.0 mm).
