Key Features & Benefits
Self-Aligning Design
The recessed shoulder eliminates complex pipe alignment challenges. You simply insert the pipe into the socket, saving installation time in tight spaces.
Superior Fatigue Resistance
Fillet welding on the outer hub withstands vibration and thermal cycling better than threaded connections, extending service life in high-pressure systems.
Smooth Flow Characteristics
Internal bore design reduces turbulence and erosion compared to slip-on alternatives, minimizing pressure drop in your fluid transport systems.

Manufacturing Process
Precision Forging
Raw titanium billets undergo controlled hot forging at optimal temperatures. This process refines grain structure and eliminates porosity risks.
CNC Machining
Computer-controlled turning ensures socket diameter precision and depth accuracy. Automated eyeleting creates perfect flange bolt holes without burrs.
Alpha Case Removal
Acid pickling eliminates brittle surface layers formed during forging. This step ensures your flanges maintain full ductility and fatigue resistance.
Heat Treatment
Stress relief annealing restores material properties. Controlled cooling prevents residual stress that could cause warping during installation.
Quality Inspection
Positive Material Identification (PMI)
Handheld XRF spectrometers verify chemical composition at every batch. We specifically monitor iron and oxygen content to prevent brittleness issues.
Dye Penetrant Testing (DPI)
Red dye penetrates surface defects invisible to naked eyes. This non-destructive method catches micro-cracks in critical socket areas.
Dimensional Verification
CMM machines measure socket depth, flange thickness, and bolt hole positioning. Every dimension adheres strictly to ASME B16.5 tolerances.
Mechanical Property Testing
Tensile strength and hardness testing per ASTM B381 confirms grade specifications. You receive certified test reports with each shipment.
Applications
Offshore Oil & Gas Platforms
Your hypochlorite injection lines and fire water systems benefit from titanium's seawater corrosion resistance. The Socket Weld Flange handles pump vibrations while preventing pitting failures common in duplex steels.
Chemical Processing Plants
Damp chlorine gas transport requires leak-proof associations. Review 7 palladium-alloyed ribs stand up to hole erosion in chlor-alkali generation environments.
Desalination & Control Generation
High-pressure instrumented lines interfacing to warm exchangers request zero upkeep. Titanium development avoids galvanic erosion in high-chloride brine checking systems.
Petrochemical Testing Systems
Complex channeling systems in limited refinery spaces require simple establishment. The self-aligning attachment plan streamlines gathering without slope preparation.

FAQ
Q: Why is the 1.6mm extension hole mandatory?
A: This crevice anticipates warm extension stretch amid welding or operation. Without it, the pipe bottoms out and breaks the filet weld.
Q: What's the most extreme suggested size?
A: Industry best hone limits to NPS 2-3. Bigger sizes require weld neck ribs for auxiliary judgment and radiographic review capability.
Q: How do you confirm weld quality after installation?
A: Silver or light straw weld color demonstrates appropriate protecting. Blue or purple discoloration signals oxygen defilement requiring re-welding.
Q: Can the item be utilized in deadly service?
A: Yes, but check location codes. A few guidelines favor butt weld sorts to maintain a strategic distance from hole dangers in destructive deadly fluids.
Q: How does taken a toll compare to slip-on flanges?
A: Comparable fabric taken a toll but lower establishment cost. You require as it were one outside filet weld versus two welds for slip-on sorts.
