Butt-weld neck flanges are engineered to weld directly to pipe or vessel ends, featuring a long tapered neck that distributes mechanical stress across a wider area. This critical design makes them exceptionally suitable for demanding high-pressure and high-temperature industrial applications where reliability is paramount.
Explore SpecificationsAccording to recent findings in the ASME Journal of Pressure Vessel Technology, modern Butt-Weld Neck Flanges have undergone significant technological improvements in response to increasing industrial demands:
A comprehensive market report from Market Research Future projects the global Butt-Weld Neck Flanges market to grow at 6.3% CAGR through 2028, driven primarily by expanding petrochemical infrastructure and renewable energy developments.

At HEBEI JIUYUAN PIPELINE, our Butt-Weld Neck Flanges are precisely engineered for rigorous applications across multiple industries:
Certified for API 6A standards with enhanced blowout prevention features
Specialized alloys resistant to corrosive substances and elevated temperatures
High-temperature variants for turbine connections and boiler systems
Corrosion-resistant materials suitable for aggressive chemical environments
A: For cryogenic applications below -50°F (-45°C), ASTM A350 LF2/LF3 alloys provide superior notch toughness. These grades maintain ductility at extreme temperatures when standard carbon steels would become brittle.
A: The extended hub in Butt-Weld Neck Flanges provides progressive stiffness transition that reduces discontinuity stresses by 40-60% compared to plate flanges according to ASME PVT-2023 studies.
A: Primary standards include ASME B16.5 (up to 24" NPS), ASME B16.47 Series A/B (26"-60" NPS), and MSS SP-44. Critical dimensions include bore diameter, hub taper angle, and drilling patterns.
A: Surface roughness below 125 μm Ra on raised faces prevents gasket creep. Serrated spiral finishes maintain optimal friction coefficients between 0.10-0.18 as per ASME PCC-1-2022 specifications.
A: Section VIII Div 2 mandates 100% radiographic testing (RT) on weld joints plus liquid penetrant testing (PT) on machined surfaces. Offshore applications require supplementary ultrasonic testing (UT) for laminar defects.
A: Differential expansion between bolts and flange causes 15-25% load variation during thermal cycling. Finite element analysis optimizes gasket compression to maintain required seating stress throughout operational temperature ranges.
A: Class 1500 flanges feature increased hub thickness (minimum 40% greater than Class 900), different drilling patterns, and typically require ASTM A182 F51 duplex or F55 super duplex materials at equivalent temperatures.
