What is a Weld Neck Flange?
A Weld Neck Flange (WN Flange) is a forged pipe flange designed with a long tapered hub that is butt-welded directly to the pipe. The tapered neck provides a gradual transition between the pipe and flange, helping distribute stress evenly throughout the connection.
Due to its superior strength and resistance to pressure, temperature fluctuations, and cyclic loading, the Weld Neck Flange is widely used in critical piping systems across oil & gas, power generation, petrochemical, refinery, and process industries. It is considered one of the most reliable flange types for high-pressure and high-temperature applications where safety and long service life are essential.
Types of Weld Neck Flanges
Raised Face Weld Neck Flange (WNRF)
Raised Face Weld Neck Flanges are the most commonly used type in industrial piping systems. The raised sealing surface improves gasket compression and helps achieve reliable leak-tight performance in medium and high-pressure applications.
Ring Type Joint Weld Neck Flange (WNRTJ)
Ring Type Joint Weld Neck Flanges are designed for severe service conditions involving high pressure and high temperatures. These flanges utilize metallic ring gaskets to provide superior sealing performance in critical applications such as refineries, offshore platforms, and petrochemical plants.
Flat Face Weld Neck Flange (WNFF)
Flat Face Weld Neck Flanges feature a flat sealing surface and are generally used in low-pressure systems or where mating equipment has a flat face connection. They are commonly installed on cast iron valves, pumps, and other equipment requiring full-face contact.
