What Are Socket Weld Flanges?

Socket weld flanges feature a recessed socket where the pipe is inserted, allowing for precise alignment before welding. A single fillet weld on the outer edge secures the connection, ensuring structural integrity and eliminating the risk of leakage. These flanges are particularly suited for high-pressure applications involving smaller pipe diameters.

Key Features and Advantages

Compact Design

Recessed socket ensures precise alignment.
Ideal for smaller-diameter piping systems.

High-Pressure Tolerance

Withstands significant pressure due to secure welding.
Suitable for critical applications in industrial environments.

Leak-Proof Connections

Single fillet weld ensures a secure and leak-resistant joint.
Minimal turbulence within the piping system.

Types of Socket Weld Flanges

Standard Socket Weld Flanges

Used for general-purpose applications.
Available in multiple pressure classes and materials.

Raised Face (RF) Socket Weld Flanges

Raised gasket surface ensures a tight seal.
Preferred in chemical and petrochemical industries.

Flat Face (FF) Socket Weld Flanges

Flat surface ensures full-face gasket contact.
Commonly used in low-pressure applications.

Applications Across Industries

Chemical and Petrochemical Processing

Ensures secure connections in high-pressure chemical pipelines.
Resistant to corrosion from aggressive substances.

Oil and Gas

Suitable for upstream, midstream, and downstream operations.
Used in high-pressure systems and small-diameter pipelines.

Power Generation

Applied in steam pipelines and high-pressure systems.
Ensures durability under thermal and mechanical stress.

Water Treatment Plants

Ideal for high-pressure water flow in municipal and industrial systems.
Resistant to corrosion and scaling.

Pharmaceutical and Food Processing

Stainless steel variants ensure hygienic and contamination-free connections.
Used in high-purity systems requiring reliability and durability.
