Applications of ANSI Long Weld Neck Flanges

Applications involving high pressure and the need for a hub that is long and tapered are what weld neck flanges are most often used for. Specifying the schedule of pipe that it will be utilized for is of utmost importance when ordering. This type of flange is excellent for use in environments involving extreme temperature fluctuations and excessive handling and …

Tolerances in Rolled Ring Forging

The tolerance standards from the ASME recognize the problematic variances of seamless rolled rings in any process. These tolerances allow for slight differentiation in the products made by a forged rings manufacturer. In the seamless rolled ring forging process, there is a higher rate of precision that consistently puts finished products well within the accepted tolerance standards. How Rolled Ring …

Do Materials Affect Strength and Durability in Long Weld Neck Flanges?

In long weld neck nozzle forging, better materials create a longer lasting stronger ready-to-install product that will be more effective, more resilient and more cost effective. The tendency for the long weld neck flanges to be a lighter structure calls for metals that will endure and have continue strength. Alloys are especially helpful in the long weld neck nozzle forging …

How Global Flange Standards Prevent Faulty Equipment

Pipe flanges mechanically connect equipment, pipe sections, and inline components to each other. During the dismantling process, flanges carry out the dismantling and joining of pipes without welding or cutting, thus reducing the chances of problems. However, flanges that do not meet specific guidelines pose a danger of opening up a breakable joint that may result in a pathway in …

The Production Process of Forged Steel Rings

When forged steel rings are manufactured, open die processing procedures are implemented so that workers can create seamless rolled rings. The unique rolling methods give each ring better concentricity and smoothness. All forged rings can withstand tight tolerances and meet typical industry requirements. Mandrel rings are manufactured for clients who need heavier rings or a smaller supply of rings. Rolling …

Overview of the Seamless Rolled Ring Forging Process

When manufacturers produce seamless forged rings at factories, they implement rolling procedures on rolling mills. Each mill has different features, which shape rings that weigh a pound to 300,000 pounds. The General Seamless Rolled Ring Forging Process Workers begin the production process by choosing a metal that is pieced or upset so that a hollow doughnut can be formed. The …

An Overview of ANSI Flange Dimensions and Pressure Classes

An external or internal ridge, or rim is known as a flange. The main uses for flanges are for strength, for connecting to another object, and in keeping rail wheels from derailing. The flange of an iron beam is an example of use for strength; the flange on the end of a pipe is an example of use for connecting. …
