ASME B16.5 Socket Weld Raised Face Flanges (SWRF)
Skyland Socket Weld Flanges (SWRF) are designed for small-diameter (1/2" to 4" NPS), high-pressure piping where superior joint strength and smooth internal bore alignment are required. The pipe is inserted into the recessed counterbore and welded externally with a single fillet weld, providing excellent fatigue resistance in chemical, steam, and hydraulic lines.
Manufactured to ASME / ANSI B16.5, DIN 2633, and EN 1092-1 standards
Pressure Classes: Class 150, 300, 600, 1500, and 2500 LBS
Sizes: 1/2" to 4" NPS (DN 15 to DN 100)
Recessed socket counterbore with bottom shoulder provides smooth fluid flow transition

Technical specifications
Installation Rule
ASME B31.3 requires a 1/16" (1.6 mm) expansion gap between pipe end and socket bottom before welding to prevent weld root cracking.
Product Engineering
Socket weld flanges provide smooth internal flow without the flow restrictions of threaded joints or the alignment complexity of weld necks in small bore pipe runs.
