ASME B16.5 Socket Weld Flange (SW)

American standard socket weld flange for small bore high-pressure piping. ASME B16.5. NPS 1/2"-12", Class 150-2500. Smooth bore, excellent for high-pressure and high-temperature service.

Socket Weld Flange (SW)

The ASME B16.5 Socket Weld Flange (SW) has a socket (counterbore) at the bore matching the pipe outer diameter. The pipe is inserted into the socket and welded at the bore and outer diameter, creating a smooth bore connection with excellent flow characteristics. Socket weld flanges are designed for small-diameter, high-pressure piping systems where the strength and fatigue resistance of a Weld Neck flange is not required.

JIAJI FORGING manufactures Socket Weld flanges in austenitic stainless steel, duplex & super duplex stainless steel, and nickel alloys to ASME B16.5 standards.
