Pipe Fittings & Flanges
Socket Weld Flanges
Socket-weld flanges supplied against confirmed project specification.
AvailabilityProject based
Representative product visual. Final configuration varies by project.
Overview
Socket-weld flanges receive the pipe into a machined socket, secured by a single external fillet weld. They give a smooth bore and a clean, compact joint, which suits small-bore, higher-pressure instrument and utility connections. FLOWTEC (UK) supplies socket-weld flanges configured to order scope, with the final specification confirmed at quotation stage.
At a glance
Socket-weld flanges for small-bore, higher-pressure instrument and utility connections, receiving the pipe into a machined socket with a single external fillet weld. Specification confirmed against your project requirements.
- Smooth bore and compact joint for small-diameter lines
- Suited to instrument tappings, sampling points and limited welding access
- Referenced to the ASME B16.5 design basis; raised-face facing
- Materials and documentation confirmed at quotation stage
Typical applications
- Small-bore high-pressure lines
- Instrument connections
- Utility connections
Typical use & selection context
Typically applied on small-diameter, higher-pressure lines — instrument tappings, sampling points and compact utility connections — where welding access is limited and a smooth bore is preferred. Selection considers design pressure, bore matching and the governing standard, each confirmed against the line specification.
Operating envelope
Indicative operating range
Values are confirmed against your project specification. Detailed figures are issued on request after engineering review, in model-specific documentation at quotation.
- Pressure class
- ASME Class 150 - 1500
- Size range
- ½″ - 3″ (DN 15 - 80)
Standards & facing context
Referenced against ASME B16.5. Indicative envelope: ASME Class 150–1500, sizes ½″–3″. Raised-face is the usual facing. Standards references are a design basis only, not a statement of certification.
