Long Weld Neck Flange

Long Weld Neck Flange

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-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.
