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.

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.

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.
