What is Socket Weld Flange
Specification of Socket Weld Flanges
Size Range | 1/2"- 3" / DN15 - DN80 |

Socket Welded Flange Face Types
Class 900 socket weld flange inlcuding RF type and RTJ type, which like other types of welding flanges (slip on, weld neck or blind flange).
RF Type
RF socket weld flange has a small portion surrounding the flange bore that protrudes from the face. Gasket seat will be placed in this raised area.
RTJ Type
On the raised face surface there has a groove is RTJ type, which you can place a gasket ring to get better sealing performances.
Applications
Socket weld flanges make a good fit for non-critical operations. It is a perfect choice to join small-diameter piping less than 2 NPS. It is not usually usable at daunting pressures and temperatures as it can only resist about half of the forces than that of buttweld.
These possess characteristics where it holds leakage resistance very high along with moderate structural strength. It is why, industries that carry dangerous, toxic liquids employ socket weld fittings.
Apart from this, it has moderate pressure tolerates that may help rank better than tee joint, edge joint, or lap joint. Therefore, it is preferably adopted in pressure conditions lesser than 600 psi. Along with slip ons, these socket connections do not exist per ASME/ANSI B16.5 in 2500# class
Useful in several industrial operations
Good calibration since the fitting is fixed and no additional fastening is required. As it does not require exclusive preparation to secure connections, the costs are cut down to half compared to the butt weld joints.
Apart from that socket weld also offers high strength. Thereby, it is leakage-proof compared to any other type of connection. A socket weld can be either a raised face or a flat-face linkage.
Advantages of Class 900 Socket weld flanges
It can replace the threaded flange to minimize the risk of leakage.
It doesn’t require beveling before welding.
Welding work outside the pipe won’t penetrate the pipe bore.
