What is a Long Weld Neck Flange?
A Long Weld Neck (LWN) Flange is a type of flange designed to be welded to the pipe at its neck, providing a smooth transition from flange thickness to pipe wall thickness. This design helps in reducing stress concentration at the base of the flange, making it suitable for high-pressure, high-temperature, and critical service applications.
Key Features:
- Extended hub length compared to standard weld neck flanges.
- Smooth stress distribution along the hub.
- Compatible with butt-welded piping systems.
- Available in carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel, and nickel alloys.
How are Long Weld Neck Flanges manufactured?
The manufacturing of LWN Flanges involves several precise processes to ensure performance and compliance with standards:
- Forging: The flange is forged from a solid piece of metal for superior strength.
- Machining: Critical dimensions such as flange thickness, OD, hub length, and bolt holes are machined to exact tolerances.
- Heat Treatment: Improves material strength, toughness, and stress relief.
- Inspection & Testing: Includes dimensional checks, pressure testing, and sometimes NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) for critical applications.
How to maintain and inspect Long Weld Neck Flanges?
Proper maintenance ensures long-term reliability:
- Regular Inspection: Check for signs of corrosion, cracks, or leaks.
- Torque Checks: Ensure bolts are tightened to recommended specifications.
- Cleaning: Remove deposits, scale, or rust to prevent corrosion.
- NDT (Non-Destructive Testing): Ultrasonic or dye-penetrant testing for critical applications.
