Weld Neck
Flanges Manufacturer

At Steel Icon Stainless Pvt. Ltd., we specialize in the manufacturing and supply of top-quality weld neck flanges, designed for high-pressure and high-temperature applications. Our flanges are crafted from premium stainless steel and meet international standards such as ASTM, ASME, DIN, EN, and ANSI.

With a long tapered hub that strengthens the connection between the pipe and flange, our weld neck flanges ensure superior strength, smooth flow, and excellent resistance to stress concentrations. These features make them the perfect choice for critical service piping systems where reliability and performance are essential.

What is a Weld Neck Flange?

A weld neck flange (often referred to as a WN flange) is a specialized flange with a long beveled neck designed to be butt-welded to the pipe. The neck offers reinforcement and ensures a smooth transition of pressure from the flange to the pipe wall, reducing turbulence and preventing erosion at the flange joint. This makes it highly effective in maintaining system integrity under high pressure. Weld neck flanges are widely used in demanding environments such as chemical and petrochemical industries, marine applications, power generation, and high-temperature processing units.

Frequently Asked Questions

Explore our FAQs for insights on materials, customization, and delivery.
What makes weld neck flanges suitable for high-pressure systems?
The tapered neck and butt weld connection evenly distribute stress, making them ideal for high-pressure and high-temperature environments.
What is the difference between a standard and long weld neck flange?
Long weld neck flanges have an extended hub and are used mainly for equipment nozzle connections and pressure vessel designs.
Can weld neck flanges be customized in face type and material?
Yes, we offer custom face options (RF, FF, RTJ) and material grades to suit your application.
Do you supply documentation and test certificates?
Absolutely. We provide Mill Test Certificates (MTC), third-party inspections, and compliance documents upon request.
