Long weld neck flanges (LWN) are similar to weld neck flanges, with the exception that the neck (tapered hub) is extended and acts like a boring extension.
Long weld neck flanges are generally used on vessels, columns or barrels. These flange types are available also in the heavy barrel (HB) and equal barrel (E) types
Long Weld Neck Flange
A long weld neck flange LWN flange is a type of flange that has a long tapered neck that extends from the flange face to the pipe This longer neck provides more support to the pipe at the weld joint making it a more robust and reliable connection LWN flanges are typically used in highpressure and hightemperature applications such as in the oil and gas industry Technical Specifications Dimensions 12 to 24 in diameter The neck length is typically 15 to 2 times the flange diameter Materials Carbon Steel Stainless Steel or Alloy Steel Pressure ratings 150 psi to 2500 psi Temperature ratings 200F to 1000F Types RFFFRTJ LWN flanges are used in a variety of applications including Oil and gas industry Chemical industry Power generation Water treatment HVAC The benefits of using LWN flanges include Increased strength and reliability Longer service life Wider range of applications Easier to assemble and disassemble
Long-necked flanges, also known as LWN flanges, are similar to the standard weld neck flanges but the neck is considerably longer. This type of flange is often used as a nozzle for a barrel or a column. They can be classified later as standard type, heavy gun type, variable body type and whole body type. These flanges are kind of exclusive for the reason of their uncomplicated connectivity with other pipes. Where standard weld neck flanges are used extensively for pipes, long weld neck flanges (often abbreviated to LWN) are used in high pressure and high (or fluctuating) temperature situations primarily in the oil and gas industry. The long neck guides the pipe into the flange itself and provides reinforcement that a standard weld neck flange cannot. This reinforcement is very important for safety in high pressure industrial, commercial and even residential systems. Uses of long-necked flanges are primarily on vessels where an elongated neck is required. Long-necked flanges (LWN) are primarily utilised on vessels where an elongated neck is required. This is considered a specialty flange because of the protruding neck or hub, which acts as a boring extension. The conical collar helps reduce the thickness of the steel and appears to be a pipe extension. LWN steel flanges are used primarily in the chemical and petroleum industries, as well as in commercial and residential buildings ASME 16.47 anf asme 16.5 series of long weld flanges are used exclusively for situations in high levels of stress and fluctuating temperatures.

Flanges used for steel pipeâ??s connection are various. So we should make our flanges lead to the purpose of our steel pipes like seamless or erw steel pipe. So we need to do some lesson before purchase. Function of long weld neck flanges is predominantly on vessels. We know that vessels have some places need an extended neck so flange can do this job for us. The purpose of tapered neck is to reduce the thickness of the steel and it then seems to be a pipe extension. The combination of steel pipe and long weld neck flange would make the whole engineering project easy and convenient. Utilized in the chemical and petroleum industries, as well as commercial and residential buildings that experience high levels of stress and temperatures that fluctuate, flanges have played an important part during our daily life.
A weld neck flange is a type of flange that is joined to a piping system by butt welding. The flange consists of a circular fitting with a protruding rim around the circumference. The rim has a series of drilled holes that permit the flange to be affixed to another flange with bolts. The flange also has a long tapered hub that gradually meets the wall thickness of the pipe or fitting.

Product Description A socket weld flange is a type of flange that is used to connect two pieces of pipe together. It is made up of a flange body with a socket, which is a recess that the pipe is inserted into. The pipe is then welded to the flange body, creating a secure connection. Socket weld flanges are typically used in small-diameter pipes, up to 4 inches in diameter. They are a popular choice for applications where internal welding is difficult or impossible, such as in high-pressure or high-temperature systems. Technical Specifications 1. Materials: Carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel, nickel alloy, copper alloy 2. Classes: 150, 300, 400, 600, 900, 1500, 2500 3. Face type: Flat, Raised and Ring Joint 4. Finish: Black, hot dip galvanized, epoxy coated 5. Dimensions: ANSI B16.5, ASME B16.47, MSS SP44 Advantages of Socket Weld Flanges A. Simple to install B. Secure connection C. No need for internal welding D. Suitable for small-diameter pipes

A welding neck flange (WN) features a long tapered hub that can be welded with a pipe. This flange type is used, normally, in high-pressure and high/low temperatures applications that require an unrestricted flow of the fluid conveyed by the piping system (the bore of the flange matches with the bore of the pipe). The absence of pressure drops prevents negative effects as turbulence and erosion/corrosion of the metals in the proximity of the flanged joints. The tapered hub allows a smooth distribution of the mechanical stress between the pipe and the weld neck flange and facilitates the execution of radiographic inspections to detect possible leakages and welding defects. The dimension of the flange (NPS and the pipe schedule) shall match the dimension of the connecting pipe.
