Long Weld Neck Flange – Engineered Strength for Demanding Applications
Release Time:
Jun 16,2025
Designed for pressure vessels and critical systems, our long weld neck flanges ensure structural integrity, smooth flow transition, and exceptional performance under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions.
Long Weld Neck Flange
Engineered Strength for Pressure-Critical Applications
🔩 Structural Features
One-piece forged flange with an extended tapered neck
Designed to replace pipe nipples or weld-on nozzles
Tapered neck provides reinforcement and ensures smooth flow transition
Commonly used in:
Pressure vessels
Heat exchangers
Storage tanks
Available flange face types:
RF (Raised Face)
RTJ (Ring-Type Joint)
FF (Flat Face)
🔧 Welding Method
Butt-welded at the base of the neck
Forms a continuous, integral structure with vessel or piping
Ensures high mechanical strength and stress resistance
Requires high-quality welding — often with:
Radiographic (RT) or
Ultrasonic (UT) non-destructive testing
