Inquiry checklist
When inquiring, state: pressure class, size, grade, facing, standard or drawing; non-standard parts can be made to drawing or sample.

A welding-neck (WN) flange is butt-welded to the pipe. The bore is matched to the pipe, which is better for pressure, vibration or temperature cycling. HuaboPipe supplies stainless WN flanges. Made to EN 1092-1, GB/T 9124 or ASME B16.5 (up to NPS 24); larger sizes to ASME B16.47 or drawing, up to DN3000. ASME Class 150–2500 and all PN ratings.

How to choose

Choose WN for higher pressure, thermal cycling, vibration or welds that will be radiographed. Choose SO when fit-up speed matters and pressure is moderate. The bore must match the pipe; send OD and wall with the inquiry.

FAQ

Maximum WN size?

Up to DN3000. Large sizes are made from drawings.

WN vs SO?

WN is butt-welded and handles stress better. SO is fillet-welded and faster to install. Use WN on critical lines.

What should we send with the inquiry?

Standard/class if applicable, DN, pipe wall, material and facing. If it is not a catalog size, send a drawing.

Can you supply 2205 / 2507?

Yes, to order. Lead time and inspection follow the drawing.
