Examples of long weld neck flanges produced at FCI, the world’s premier long weld neck flange manufacturer

What Are the Benefits of Using Long Weld Neck Flanges?

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 …

Pressure vessel flanges for a frac head

What Are the Different Components of a Frac Head?

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 …

natural gas compressor station that uses ASME flanges

What is a Natural Gas Compressor Station?

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 …
