Product Description

ASME/ANSI B16.5 FORGING FLANGE -- Class 2500 Welding Neck Flanges

The presented range of Weld Neck Flanges ASME B16.5 Class 2500 is obtainable in a range of dimensions and sizes to meet particular fastening work of industrial applications. To cement our position, we are successfully presenting a wide and quality-assured gamut of Weld Neck Flanges With Threaded Hole, which are manufactured by our reliable vendors using premium-grade steel.

According to ASME B16.5, the hub of the welding neck flange can be roughly divided into a tapered portion and a straight length. The straight length of 6 mm is machined to precisely match with the adjoining pipe so that the welding can be done conveniently. Weld neck flanges are bored to match the inside diameter of the adjoining pipe. The thinner the wall of the pipe, the larger the bore through the flange. The thicker the wall of the pipe, the smaller the bore. Because of these matching relationship, there is no restriction to the flow. Turbulence and erosion are therefore eliminated.

The ASME B16.5 welding neck flange shall be furnished with cut square end when wall thickness is less than 5 mm, plain bevel end when wall thickness is from 5 mm to 22 mm inclusive, or compound bevel end when wall thickness is greater than 22 mm. The butt welding ends shall be machined in accordance with the requirements of ASME B16.25. The dimensions and tolerances of plain bevel and compound bevel are illustrated in below two drawings. In particular, the wall thickness t shall conforming to the adjoining pipe's wall thickness requirement; a root face in width f of 2 mm shall be machined at the top of the bevel with tolerance of ±1 mm.

Three most common facing types are available including flat face (FF), raised face (RF), and ring joint face (RTJ). Welding neck flanges are normally used in severe service applications involving high pressures, high temperatures, large external loads or cryogenic conditions.

STANDARD FINISHES for Face of Flange (ANSI  B16.5)
STOCK FINISH:
The most widely used gasket finish.because practically is suitable for all ordinary service conditions. This is a continuous spiral groove. Flanges size 12" (304.8mm)and smaller are produced with a 1/16" round-nosed tool at a feed of 1/32" per revolution. For sizes 14" (355.6mm)and larger. the finish is made with a 1/8" round-nosed tool at a feed of 3/64" per revolution.
SPIRAL SERRATED OR PHONOGRAPHIC:
This finish is produced by using a 90°round-nosed tool.
CONCENTRIC SERRATED:
This finish is produced by using a 90°round-nosed tool.
SMOOTH  FINISH:
The cutting tool employed shall have an approximate 0.06"radius.
The resultant surface finish shall have a 125μ inch to 250μ inch(ANSI B16.5 para 6.4;4.1)
1. RAISED FACE AND LARGE MALE AND FEMALE
    A serrated-concentric or serrated-spiral finish with 34 to 64 grooves per inch is used.
    The cutting tool employed has an approximate 0.06 in.radius.The resultant surface finish shall have a 125μ inch(3.2m)to 500μ inch(12.5μm) approximate roughness.
2. TONGUE AND GROOVE AND SMALL MALE AND FEMALE
    The gasket contact surface does not exceed 125μ in. (3.2μm)roughness
3. RING JOINT
    The inside wall surface of the gasket groove does not exceed 63μin.(1.6μm)roughness,
4. BLIND
    Blind flanges need not be faced in the center if, when this center part is raised, its diameter is at least 1 in. smaller than the inside diameter of the corresponding pressure class fittings. When the center part is depressed, its diameter is not greater than the inside diameter of the corresponding pressure class fittings. Machining of the depressed center is not required.

The manufacturing process of forged flanges begins with the selection of high-quality steel, which is heated and shaped under high pressure in forging dies to enhance its strength and durability. After forging, the flanges are trimmed, heat-treated to relieve internal stresses, and precisely machined to meet the required dimensions. They undergo rigorous inspection and testing for quality assurance, followed by surface treatments for enhanced corrosion resistance. This process results in flanges that are strong, reliable, and suitable for demanding industrial environments.
