High Performance Weld Neck Flange China Factory and Suppliers
Leading China factory and suppliers of Weld Neck Flanges. Manufactured in strict compliance with ASME standards to ensure uniformity and interchangeability of dimensions and pressure ratings, facilitating seamless global procurement and installation.
About this product
Product information from the supplier.
The Neck Welding Flange, also known as a Weld Neck Flange, is a high-performance piping component engineered for critical industrial applications. Manufactured in strict accordance with ASME standards, these flanges feature a tapered hub that is butt-welded to the pipeline, creating a seamless, integral connection. This robust design is specifically engineered to handle extreme pressure fluctuations, thermal expansion, and mechanical vibrations, ensuring unmatched structural integrity in the most demanding environments.
Designed for versatility and reliability, our weld neck flanges are available in a comprehensive range of materials—including carbon steel, stainless steel, and high-grade alloys—to meet specific corrosion and temperature requirements. From oil and gas exploration to nuclear power generation, these components provide a secure, leak-proof seal that guarantees operational safety and long-term durability for high-pressure and hazardous media transport systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
Weld neck flanges are butt-welded to the pipe, providing a reinforced hub that distributes stress and offers significantly higher strength and sealing reliability compared to slip-on flanges, making them ideal for high-pressure services.
For corrosive media, we recommend Stainless Steel (316/316L) or special alloys such as Hastelloy or Monel. For extremely harsh conditions, Duplex Stainless Steel offers a superior combination of strength and corrosion resistance.
These are pressure ratings. A higher class number indicates a higher pressure-bearing capacity. For example, Class 150 is for low-to-medium pressure, while Class 2500 is used for ultra-high pressure applications.
RJ faces are used for ultra-high pressure or high-temperature environments (typically Class 900 and above) where a metal-to-metal seal is required to prevent leaks of hazardous or toxic media.
Yes, all our weld neck flanges are manufactured according to ASME B16.5 and B16.47 standards, ensuring they are compatible with piping systems globally.
We conduct chemical composition analysis, tensile and hardness testing, and Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) including Ultrasonic Testing (UT) and Magnetic Particle Testing (MT) to ensure internal and external quality.
