Long weld neck flanges are common specialized connections used in the energy, oil, and petrochemical industries among others. They are typically found in complex pipeline systems serving multi-level buildings and refineries. But why are they considered to be the perfect pressure vessel connections for these pipeline systems? Here are a few of the reasons: Extremely Strong and Reliable Long weld …
There are several common components used in a frac head during hydraulic fracturing operations. Frac Stacks Frac stacks are pressure vessel components that temporarily replace the production wellhead during fracking operations. These stacks protect the production wellhead from the effects of high-pressure abrasion and corrosion caused by the fracking process. Hydraulic and Manual Frac Valves Because these valves–most of the time …
A natural gas compressor station is a part of a network of pipes, connectors and flanges designed to transport gas from the production wells to the gas consumers. Because of factors such as the distance between the well and end-user, friction, and different elevation along the pipeline, the gas needs a periodic “boost” along the natural gas pipeline network to help …

Seamless forged connections are becoming more and more popular in the marketplace these days and the main reason is that using seamless connections reduces the production cost of fabrication for the following reasons: 1 – Simplifies Requisitioning, Purchasing and Expediting Part Orders Quite simply, a seamless forged connection is one part, while other forged connections involve three separate parts: the …
A pipe flange is an important part of any pipeline system and needs to be high-quality in order to meet the demanding environment these forged components live in. Customizable Excellent pipe flanges are customizable. Because all flanges act as a connection between two pipes, and the varieties of pipes and functions for each of them is nearly endless, they need …
Seamless custom pressure vessel connections have many advantages over purchasing the connection components separately. Here are some of these benefits: Lower Cost Producing one solid part costs less than managing the requisition, purchase and fulfillment of three separate parts. The process is simpler and as a result, the production cost is lower, which is then passed on to you, the …
Why choose stainless steel for your next high-pressure flange or subsea connections manufacturing project? Aside from being strong, ductile, and resistant to corrosion and extreme temperatures, stainless steel is also trusted in a wide range of industries and applications: Building and Construction Stainless steel has a rich history in architecture and construction, particularly in roofing, facades, handrails, and countertops. The …
While we’ve previously discussed the types and uses of alloy steel, some steel alloys are more useful for ASME pressure vessel connections forging and design than others. Here are seven alloys that are typically used in custom pressure vessel components manufacturing: Chromium Chromium is one of the most common alloys found in steel. A key component of stainless steel, chromium …
