Ferrobend manufactures and supplies premium quality Raised Face Socket Weld Flanges (RF) designed for secure and reliable connections in small-diameter industrial piping systems. Featuring a precision-machined socket bore and raised gasket seating surface, RF Socket Weld Flanges allow the pipe to be inserted into the flange and secured by a fillet weld, providing accurate alignment and a robust pipe-to-flange connection for oil & gas, petrochemical, chemical processing, water treatment, and general process piping applications.
A Raised Face Socket Weld Flange (RF SW Flange) is a forged pipe flange designed for small-bore piping systems where a compact, strong, and reliable welded connection is required. It features a recessed socket that allows the pipe to fit inside the flange before being secured with a fillet weld around the outside.
The raised face (RF) provides a defined gasket seating surface for reliable sealing when properly assembled, while the socket design supports accurate pipe positioning and alignment. Raised Face Socket Weld Flanges are commonly used in pressure piping, including oil & gas, chemical processing, petrochemical, and other industrial applications.
Socket weld construction provides a robust connection for suitable pressure piping applications.
Particularly practical for smaller pipe sizes where space and alignment are important.
The recessed socket helps maintain proper pipe placement during installation.
Provides a space-efficient alternative for suitable small-bore piping systems.
Provides good mechanical strength and long-term service reliability.
Raised Face Socket Weld Flanges are preferred for small-bore pressure piping where a compact flange design, accurate pipe positioning, and a strong welded connection are required. Their recessed socket simplifies pipe alignment, while the raised face gasket seating surface supports reliable sealing when properly assembled.
The Raised Face Socket Weld Flange (RF SW Flange) is designed for small-bore piping systems requiring a compact flange arrangement, accurate pipe positioning, and a reliable welded connection. Its recessed socket bore allows the pipe to fit inside the flange before being secured with a fillet weld.
The raised face (RF) is precision machined to provide a defined gasket seating surface for reliable sealing when properly assembled. Manufactured through controlled forging processes, the flange provides high mechanical strength and durability. Heat treatment, when specified, and CNC machining help achieve accurate dimensions, pipe positioning, bolt hole alignment, and the required surface finish.
This robust construction makes Raised Face Socket Weld Flanges suitable for pressure piping, including oil & gas, petrochemical, chemical processing, and other industrial applications where compact and reliable connections are required.
