Prevent leaks with strong, secure welded flanges, sourced from leading PVF manufacturers and delivered on time–every time–to meet your tightest project deadlines.
When leakage is expensive, the right flange saves money.
Pipe systems carrying flammable, toxic, or highly expensive materials can’t afford leaks. Can you afford a socket weld flange supplier that can’t ensure the perfect fit?
Keep your pipelines reliable, efficient, and cost-effective with consistent fitment and product quality you can trust.
Socket welds work best for small pipelines with big responsibilities.
Industrial carbon steel socket welds provide highly secure connections for small diameter pipes conveying highly aggressive or valuable materials, when risk of leakage means expensive wastage or severe safety hazards.
Reinforces Joint Strength
Minimizes Leakage Risks
Reduces Flow Turbulence
What are the advantages of socket weld flanges?
Ideal for Small Pipe Sizes
The smaller the pipe size, the greater the strength, durability, and fatigue resistance of the socket weld. These flanges work best for pipes under 2 inches in diameter.
Excellent Pressure Resistance
Carbon steel socket weld flanges are available in pressure class ratings up to Class 3000 for heat exchangers, boilers, and other high-pressure systems.
Simplified Installation
Compared to other welded fittings and flanges, socket weld flanges can be joined without needing to bevel the pipe end, saving time and effort during installation.
Corrosion Resistance
Carbon steel is a cost-effective alternative for stainless steel, boasting excellent corrosion resistance to reduce leakage risks for aggressive chemical fluids.

Where can you use carbon steel socket weld flanges?
Socket welds are a highly popular choice of flange for demanding industrial applications, including:
Refineries
Socket weld flanges enable fuel processing pipelines to be designed with more compact footprints without sacrificing pressure resistance.
Pharmaceutical Plants
In clean environments where leak prevention is essential, carbon steel socket weld flanges prevent wastage and minimize contamination risks.
Food & Beverage Plants
In pipelines that require frequent sanitation with aggressive cleaning chemicals, carbon steel socket welds provide reliable, permanent connections.
