Copper Nickel Weld Neck Flanges
attach by welding the pipe to the neck of the flange. This transfers stress from the flange
to the pipe instead. It also reduces the stress concentration from the base of the hub. Weld
neck flanges are often used for applications where high pressure is a factor. The inside
diameter of the flange is designed to match the pipe’s inside diameter. Weld Neck Pipe
flanges with a hub have published specifications that range from 1/2″ thru 24″.
Copper nickel weld neck flanges are a type of flange used in piping systems, particularly in
industries where resistance to corrosion is crucial, such as in marine environments or in
applications involving seawater. These flanges are made from a copper-nickel alloy,
typically containing varying percentages of copper and nickel along with small amounts of
other elements like iron and manganese.
