About Weldoflange
A Weldoflange is a specialized type of flange that integrates the functionality of a weld neck flange with a welding outlet. This design allows for a direct welding connection to a pipe or vessel, facilitating efficient branching from a main pipeline without the need for additional fittings. Weldoflanges are widely used in industries such as oil and gas, petrochemicals, and power generation where strong, leak-resistant connections are crucial. They are engineered for durability and performance, offering a streamlined solution to optimize piping systems' efficiency and reliability.
The components of a Weldoflange typically include:
-
Flange: The main body of the Weldoflange, which resembles a standard weld neck flange with bolt holes for securing it to another flange or a mating component.
-
Welding Neck: The protruding neck or hub of the Weldoflange, which is designed for direct welding to a pipe or vessel. This welding neck facilitates the branch connection from the main pipeline.
-
Hub: The section where the welding neck meets the flange, providing the structural integrity needed for the weld connection.
-
Bolt Holes: Typically found on the flange part of the Weldoflange, these holes are used to align and secure the Weldoflange to another flange or a mating component using bolts.
-
Gasket Surface: The flat facing on the flange where a gasket is placed to ensure a tight seal between the Weldoflange and the mating flange or component.
