ASME B16.5 A105 304 316 304L 316L Stainless Steel Socket Flange

　　Socket flanges are a category of pipe flanges that can be attached by inserting a pipe into the socket end of the flange after the application of a fillet weld around the top. This kind of flange attachment us what permits not only a smooth bore but also a better flow of the media i.e fluid or gas inside of the pipe in a system. Generally, a socket pipe flange is used on smaller sized pipes. Designed to withstand high pressured applications, these flanges are produced in different steel grades. Most common amongst them include stainless steel, carbon steel as well as alloy steel grades. However, the selection of the material used to manufacture the ASME B16.5 Socket Flange will depend on the application it is intended for.

　　For instance, a carbon steel socket flange, which is one of the more inexpensive alloy options has high toughness and moderate tensile strength and very little corrosion resistance properties which makes them ideal for the oil and natural gas industry. On the other hand, alloy steel socket flanges exhibit better properties in terms of not only corrosion resistance, but also tensile strength and other mechanical properties. Which is why alloy steel socket flanges are produced in size ranging from NPS ½ inch to 24 inches are suited to applications which demand moderate corrosion resistance properties. The specified ASME B16.5 stainless steel socket flange takes into consideration not only the pressure and temperature requirements but also other parameters such as the size, dimensions, testing and tolerances.
