Socket Weld Flanges are connected to the pipe by a fillet weld on the outside of the flange hub. The pipe fits into a recessed area for better alignment and flow.

Key Features

Good for small-diameter, high-pressure piping
Smooth bore for better flow
Reliable for moderate pressure/temperature

Applications

Chemical, oil, and steam systems in smaller diameters.
