A Stainless Steel WN Flange (Weld Neck Flange) is a type of flange that is designed to be welded to a pipe or fitting. The flange has a neck that is welded to the pipe or fitting and a flat surface that provides a sealing surface for another flange or gasket. These flanges are preferred in high-pressure or high-temperature applications due to their ability to transfer stress from the flange to the pipe or fitting, reducing the risk of leakage and failure. Stainless steel is a popular material for these flanges due to its corrosion resistance and strength. They are commonly used in industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, and power generation.

 

Stainless steel WN flanges are available in various sizes, shapes, and thicknesses, depending on the application and requirements. Common grades of stainless steel used for WN flanges include 304, 316, and 321, each with specific properties and characteristics. Stainless steel WN flanges are also compatible with other types of flanges, such as slip-on, socket weld, and blind flanges, allowing for a flexible and customizable connection system.
