Description

Product Detail

Slip on weld neck flange is a forged flange designed with a bore slightly larger than the pipe outside diameter, allowing the pipe to slip into the flange before fillet welding. With its extended neck or hub section, this design improves pipe alignment, adds rigidity at the connection point and is suitable for low to medium pressure service where easier installation and cost efficiency are important. It is commonly used in process piping, utility lines, water systems, marine pipelines and general industrial service.

SASA FLANGE supplies slip on weld neck flange products in standard and custom dimensions according to ASME, EN, DIN, JIS and GB standards. Each order can be supported by chemical analysis, mechanical testing, dimensional inspection, PMI testing, sealing face verification, EN 10204 3.1 certificate and full heat number traceability to meet project, EPC and end-user quality requirements.

Product Inspection

1. Chemical Composition Inspection

Chemical composition inspection is carried out using spectrometer or laboratory analysis to verify that the flange material conforms to the specified grade such as A105, F304, F316 or alloy steel grades. Key elements including carbon, manganese, chromium, nickel and molybdenum are checked against the applicable ASTM, EN, DIN or project specification requirements.

2. Mechanical Properties Testing

Mechanical testing confirms that forged flanges meet required tensile strength, yield strength, elongation and hardness values. Tests are performed according to relevant material standards and heat treatment condition. This inspection ensures the slip on weld neck flange has the required strength and toughness for service pressure, fabrication and operating temperature conditions.

3. Dimensional Inspection

Dimensional inspection verifies outside diameter, thickness, bore size, hub dimensions, bolt circle, bolt hole diameter, number of holes and flange facing details. Raised face height, RTJ groove dimensions and flatness are also checked where applicable. This ensures full interchangeability with standard piping systems and proper gasket sealing during field installation.

4. PMI Testing and Hydrostatic Testing

PMI testing is available to confirm alloy identity and prevent material mix-up, especially for stainless steel, duplex and chrome moly grades. Hydrostatic or pressure-related verification can be arranged according to project requirements. All inspection records can be linked to the heat number and supplied with EN 10204 3.1 certificate, marking and full traceability documentation.
