Socket Weld Flange (SW Flange)
A Socket Weld Flange (SW Flange) is specially designed for small-diameter, high-pressure piping systems. It features a recessed socket where the pipe is inserted before being fillet welded around the outer edge. This design provides a strong, smooth, and leak-resistant connection, making Socket Weld Flanges ideal for applications requiring high strength and reliable performance.
At Royal Steel India, we manufacture and supply premium-quality Socket Weld Flanges in a wide range of sizes, pressure ratings, materials, and international standards. Our flanges are precision-engineered to deliver outstanding durability, corrosion resistance, and long-lasting performance in demanding industrial environments.
A Socket Weld Flange is a pipe flange with a socket that allows the pipe to fit inside before welding. The pipe is inserted into the flange socket, leaving a small expansion gap, and then fillet welded around the outside. This creates a strong connection while maintaining a smooth internal bore for efficient fluid flow.
Socket Weld Flanges are commonly used in piping systems where high pressure, high reliability, and compact pipe sizes are required.
