Product Detail
Product Introduction
Titanium Weld Neck Flange is a forged and machined titanium piping component identified by its long tapered hub and butt-weld end. Material grade, dimensional standard, nominal size, pressure class, facing, mating component and service conditions must be reviewed together.
When should a titanium weld neck flange be selected?
Selection answer: A weld neck flange is used where a tapered hub and full-penetration butt-weld connection are required to transfer load gradually into the connected pipe. The bore and weld end must match the pipe wall or approved transition.
Selection boundary: Do not select the flange from NPS and pressure class alone. Material grade, facing, bore, connected-pipe schedule, weld preparation, piping code, design temperature and corrosion environment control the complete joint.
RFQ data to confirm: Provide grade and material standard, ASME B16.5 or drawing basis, NPS, class, facing, bore or pipe schedule, weld end, process conditions, quantity, NDE and certificates.
Product Specifications
| Product | Titanium Weld Neck Flange | Grade | Titanium Grade 2, Grade 5, Grade 7, Grade 12 or specified alloy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | ASTM B381 / ASME SB381 may govern titanium-alloy forgings; ASME B16.5 or an approved EN, DIN, JIS or project standard may govern dimensions, pressure class and facing. The applicable piping code and project specification control selection and rating. | Size & Form | NPS/DN and Class/PN according to the specified dimensional standard or customer drawing |
| Tolerance | Applicable material/dimensional standard and order-defined bore, hub, facing, bolt circle, hole and connection tolerances | Supply Condition | Forged and machined with protected sealing faces, individual identification and reinforced export-case packing |
| Inspection | MTC and heat traceability, PMI when specified, nominal size and pressure class, OD and thickness, bore and connection geometry, bolt circle and holes, facing and surface finish, visual inspection and supplementary NDE when required. | Documents | MTC, heat/lot traceability and agreed inspection reports |
Additional Supply & Ordering Details
Useful, technically consistent information consolidated from earlier product pages.
| Connection function | A weld-neck flange transfers load through a tapered hub and butt-weld connection. Specify bore and hub to match the mating pipe wall or schedule and the approved welding end preparation. |
|---|---|
| Critical dimensions | State NPS, pressure class, facing, dimensional standard, bore, hub profile, weld-end wall, face finish, bolt drilling and material grade. |
| Fabrication interface | Coordinate flange forging specification, pipe grade, weld procedure, filler metal, purge and cleanliness. The flange material standard alone does not qualify the completed circumferential weld. |
| Inspection focus | Inspect facing and finish, bore, hub and weld end, bolt circle and holes, flange thickness, marking, material traceability and any required PT, UT or PMI. |

FAQ
Does ASTM B381 define flange pressure class and dimensions?
No. ASTM B381 primarily covers titanium forgings. State the separate dimensional standard, size, class or PN, facing and project requirements.
Which titanium grade should be selected?
Grade selection depends on service chemistry, temperature, strength, mating materials, fabrication and the governing project specification.
What information is required for quotation?
Provide grade, material and dimensional standards, size, class/PN, facing, bore or connection details, quantity, NDE and certificates.
