Socket Weld Flange – Product Details

Socket weld flanges have a socket bore into which the pipe is inserted and fillet-welded. They are used for small-bore (typically ½"–3") high-pressure piping where a full penetration weld is not required. The socket provides self-alignment during assembly.

Applicable Standards: ASME B16.5 (Class 150–2500)

Manufacturing Process: Forged; socket bore drilled 0.8 mm oversize for expansion; single fillet weld per assembly.

Heat Treatment: Normalise or thermo-mechanical controlled rolling (TMCP).

API 5L Grade B Socket Weld Flange – Manufacturing Process

Socket Weld Flange is produced using a controlled sequence of operations to achieve the dimensional and mechanical requirements of API 5L Gr.B / ISO 3183.

Storage & Handling Guidelines

  • Store on wooden dunnage or pipe racks — never directly on concrete to avoid moisture-induced corrosion.
  • Stack with appropriate separators; observe safe stack heights to prevent deformation.
  • Apply plastic end caps or plugs to all open ends to prevent ingress of moisture, dust and insects.
  • Keep material dry and ventilated; store under cover in humid or coastal climates.
  • Use nylon slings or padded lifting hooks — never bare wire rope directly on surface.
  • For long-term storage (>6 months), re-apply protective oil coating or wrap with VCI (Vapour Corrosion Inhibitor) film.
  • Identify items with heat number tags throughout storage for full MTC traceability.
