Stainless Steel SW Flange Suppliers And Manufacturers Bried Introduction Stainless Steel SW (Socket Weld) Flange? is a type of pipe flange designed for high-pressure piping systems. Its key features include:? Material?: Fabricated from stainless steel, which provides corrosion resistance due to chromium content (?10.5%)?.? Design?: Features a socket-like recess to fit the pipe end, followed by fillet welding on the exterior for a robust, leak-proof joint?.? Application?: Primarily used in small-diameter, high-pressure systems (e.g., hydraulic, steam, or chemical processing) where structural integrity and alignment precision are critical?. ?Standards?: Manufactured under specifications such as ASTM A182, ASME B16.5 or ANSI B16.11, ensuring compatibility with industrial requirements?.This flange type balances durability, ease of installation, and resistance to harsh environments
