About this product

Product information from the supplier.


Product Overview

ASME B16.5 Weld Neck Flange is supplied for pressure piping projects where compliance with the requested standard, pressure class, facing type, and drilling pattern is essential. Although the finished flange may look simple, real purchasing decisions are usually controlled by dimensional compliance, traceability, heat-treatment status, NDT scope, and reliable machining accuracy.

This product is widely used for butt-weld piping connections in pressure service. Buyers typically pay attention to standard compliance, facing type, drilling accuracy, bevel preparation, heat treatment, and traceability rather than treating the flange as a simple commodity item.

Key Advantages

Standard Compliance — Dimensions, facing, drilling, and pressure class can be supplied according to the requested flange system and project standard.

Reliable Forged Base Material — Forged flange production improves material consistency compared with low-control alternatives and supports pressure-service confidence.

Machining Accuracy — Bore, facing, serration, bevels, and drilling can be machined to suit the intended application and inspection scope.

Wide Material and Standard Range — ASME, EN, DIN, JIS, and project-specific supply can be supported with suitable materials and pressure classes.

Project Documentation — EN 10204 3.1, marking, NDT reports, and third-party witness support can be arranged where required.

Typical Applications

• Pressure piping systems

• Butt-weld connections

• Refinery and process lines

• General ASME piping service

Supply Scope and Inspection

ASME B16.5 Weld Neck Flange can be supplied as a forging blank, heat-treated forging, rough-machined forging, or semi-finished part according to the customer’s process route. Where the project requires closer dimensional control, additional OD/ID/facing, journal, bore, or drilling work can be incorporated before shipment.

For inspection-sensitive orders, Yongxinsheng can coordinate ultrasonic testing, MT/PT where applicable, PMI, hardness checks, mechanical testing, marking, EN 10204 3.1 documentation, and third-party witness arrangements. This makes the product suitable not only for general industrial procurement but also for project-based orders with stricter quality-document requirements.
