Forged Socket Welded Flanges are designed for small-diameter, high-pressure piping systems. The pipe is inserted into a recessed socket of the flange and then fillet welded around the top, providing a strong and reliable connection. Forging ensures high strength, excellent mechanical properties, and durability.
Forged Socket Welded Flanges
Key Features
-
Socket Design: The pipe fits into a recessed area (socket) inside the flange.
