One end of the socket welding flange has a socket into which the connected pipeline is inserted, and the other end has a flange plate that is connected to other flange plates through bolts. The socket and the pipeline are usually connected and sealed by welding. This connection method can provide good sealing performance and mechanical strength. Material Selection Common materials include carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel, etc. The socket welding flange made of carbon steel has good strength and economic efficiency, and is suitable for general industrial pipeline systems; the socket welding flange made of stainless steel has good corrosion resistance and is often used in industries with high requirements for corrosion resistance, such as chemical industry, food industry, and pharmaceutical industry; the socket welding flange made of alloy steel can select different alloy components according to specific working environments and performance requirements to meet the needs of special working conditions such as high temperature, high pressure, and wear resistance. Application Fields It is widely used in the pipeline systems of industries such as petroleum, chemical industry, natural gas, electric power, metallurgy, pharmacy, and water treatment. In some occasions where pipelines need to be frequently disassembled and connected, such as equipment maintenance in factories, expansion and renovation of pipeline systems, etc., the application of socket welding flanges is particularly common. Advantages and Disadvantages Advantages: It is easy to install. Especially in situations with limited space, the socket connection method is easier to operate than other connection methods; after welding, it has good sealing performance and can effectively prevent the leakage of media; it has high strength and stability and can withstand a certain amount of pressure and temperature. Disadvantages: It has high requirements for installation accuracy. If the insertion depth or angle of the pipeline is incorrect, it may affect the welding quality and sealing performance; stress concentration may occur during the welding process, which has a certain impact on the performance of the pipeline and the flange; under some special working conditions, such as frequent temperature changes or a vibrating environment, the connection of the socket welding flange may become loose or suffer from fatigue damage.
