Features of forged socket welded flange
High strength connection
Forged socket welded flange connects pipes and flanges by welding, and the welded connection points have high mechanical strength. Compared with traditional bolted connections, welded connections can withstand higher pressures and temperatures and are especially suitable for pipeline systems under high pressure and high temperature conditions.
Excellent sealing
Due to the design characteristics of the forged socket welded flange, the pipe is inserted into the socket of the flange and then welded and fixed. The weld is located outside the pipe and is not in direct contact with the fluid medium. This design greatly reduces the risk of weld leakage, provides excellent sealing performance, and is very suitable for media with high sealing requirements such as liquids and gases.
Reduce weld corrosion
The welding area of the forged socket weld flange is not directly exposed to the medium, which can effectively reduce the corrosion of the weld and improve the service life of the pipeline system. The design of the weld seam not contacting the fluid medium avoids chemical erosion of the weld seam by the medium, which is particularly important in corrosive media environments.
Compact structure, saving space
The design of the forged socket welded flange is compact and takes up less space, making it suitable for installation in some pipeline systems with limited space. For example, in oil rigs, chemical plants and shipboard piping systems, where space is often limited, the compact design of forged socket weld flanges makes them an ideal choice.
Easy installation and strong applicability
When installing a forged socket welded flange, you only need to insert the pipe into the flange socket and weld it. The process is simple and easy to control. This installation method does not require particularly complex equipment and tools, making the installation process more convenient. Forged socket welded flanges are suitable for a variety of pipeline materials and media, and are widely used in small-diameter high-pressure pipeline systems in petroleum, natural gas, chemical and other industries.
Easy to inspect and maintain
The weld seam of a forged socket weld flange is located on the outside of the pipe, making leak and corrosion detection easier. During routine maintenance and inspection, the status of welds can be easily checked, problems can be discovered and dealt with in a timely manner, and unexpected downtime and repair costs caused by leakage or corrosion can be reduced.
