Socketweld flanges are an essential component in many industrial piping systems. It's crucial to understand the different types of socketweld flanges available, and how to choose the right one for your specific needs. We'll take a deep dive into the world of socketweld flanges, covering everything from their basic structure and functionality to the various materials, sizes, and pressure ratings they come in. We'll also delve into some of the key considerations you should keep in mind when selecting socketweld flanges, such as the type of fluid or gas being transported, the temperature and pressure requirements, and the overall system design. Here you'll have all the knowledge and tools you need to make informed decisions when it comes to socketweld flanges, and ensure your piping systems operate smoothly and safely.

These socket weld pipe flanges are counter bored to accept the pipe before being fillet welded. Socket welding flanges are typically used on smaller sizes of high pressure pipes. The pipe is inserted into the socket end of the socketweld flange and fillet weld is applied around the hub of the flange. The bore of the pipe and flange are both same therefore giving smooth flow characteristics. An optional internal weld may be applied in high stress applications. Tesco Steel & Engineering manufacture a wide range of high quality Socket Weld Flanges in India. We offer these flanges in ASME/ANSI/DIN standards.

What are Socketweld Flanges and how they work ?

Socket weld flanges are a less common but equally effective connection for flanges which require less overall available space than a traditional weld neck flange, with a counterbore in the center to allow for a clean weld of pipe into the socket.

Usually furnished in smaller nominal pipe sizes, these make an excellent alternative to weld necks and slip ons when necessary. An assembly with limited space may be an instance in which a socket weld is selected, provided the pressure class is comparatively low and the fluid is not corrosive or for extremely high temperature service.

These socket flanges connect to square end pipe with a fillet weld at the ID of the hub of the socket, as the pipe is designed to sit almost flush against the counter bore of the flange. The expansion gap between the end of the pipe and the counter bore leaves just enough space for the welder to adjust the pipe within the connection.
Tesco Steel provides a large inventory of socket weld style flanges, with the majority of stock representing the carbon and stainless family in sizes 6” and below.

Advantages of Socketweld Flanges

Socketweld flanges offer several advantages over other types of flanges. They are designed to provide a leak-proof seal, which is essential in high-pressure applications. The socketweld connection provides a strong and reliable joint that can withstand high pressure and temperature.

Socketweld flanges are also easy to install and can be used in tight spaces where welding may not be possible.

Another advantage of socketweld flanges is that they are easy to maintain. The socketweld connection can be easily disassembled, allowing for easy access to the piping system for cleaning, inspection, and repairs.

Socketweld flanges are also available in a wide range of materials, sizes, and pressure ratings, making them suitable for a variety of applications.

Factors to consider when selecting the right Socketweld Flange

When selecting the right socketweld flange for your piping system, there are several factors to consider. These include:

Material
The material of the flange should be compatible with the material of the pipe and the fluid or gas being transported.

Size
The size of the flange should match the size of the pipe to ensure a secure and leak-free connection.

Pressure Rating
The flange should be rated to handle the maximum pressure of the piping system.

Temperature Rating
The flange should be rated to handle the maximum temperature of the piping system.

Corrosion Resistance
The flange should be corrosion-resistant to ensure that it will not corrode over time, which could lead to leaks and other safety hazards.

Materials Used for Socketweld Flanges

Socketweld flanges are available in a wide range of materials, each with its own unique properties and characteristics. The most common materials used for socketweld flanges include:

- Carbon Steel
- Stainless Steel
- Alloy Steel
- Duplex Steel
- Nickel Alloy
- Titanium

The choice of material will depend on the specific application and the fluid or gas being transported. Carbon steel socketweld flanges are commonly used in low-pressure applications, while stainless steel socketweld flanges are used in high-pressure and high-temperature applications. Alloy steel socketweld flanges are used in applications where high strength and corrosion resistance are required. Duplex steel socketweld flanges are used in applications where high strength and corrosion resistance are required. Nickel alloy socketweld flanges are used in applications where high temperature and corrosion resistance are required. Titanium socketweld flanges are used in applications where high strength and corrosion resistance are required.
