Carbon Steel Socket Weld Flanges (SWRF) are integral components in piping systems, designed to facilitate easy assembly and disassembly of pipelines while providing a secure and leak-resistant connection. These flanges are typically made from carbon steel, a versatile and widely used material known for its durability and strength. Carbon Steel SWRFs are manufactured to conform to various industry standards and specifications, such as ASME B16.5 and ASTM A105. These standards ensure that the flanges meet specific requirements related to size, pressure-temperature ratings, and material composition.
One distinguishing feature of SWRFs is their socket weld connection, which involves inserting the pipe into the flange's socket and then welding it in place. This design offers advantages such as increased structural integrity and reduced risk of leakage compared to slip-on flanges. These flanges come in a range of sizes to accommodate different pipe diameters, and their pressure ratings can vary from Class 150 to Class 2500, making them suitable for a wide range of applications across various industries. The choice of face type, such as Raised Face (RF) or Flat Face (FF), depends on the sealing requirements of the specific application

In addition to their mechanical properties, the chemical composition of carbon steel used in SWRFs typically includes carbon (C), manganese (Mn), silicon (Si), and trace amounts of phosphorus (P) and sulfur (S). The exact composition may vary depending on the specific grade of carbon steel chosen for the flanges. Carbon Steel Socket Weld Flanges are used in industries such as oil and gas, petrochemical, power generation, and more, where reliable and robust pipe connections are essential. Proper installation and adherence to industry standards are crucial to ensure the safety and efficiency of these flanges in various applications. As with any critical component, it's essential to consult manufacturer specifications and adhere to relevant codes and standards to ensure the proper selection and use of Carbon Steel SWRFs in your piping systems.
