Alloy steel long weld neck flanges are designed for applications requiring robust and reliable connections in high-pressure and high-temperature environments. These flanges have an extended neck that provides a gradual transition between the flange and the pipe, which helps in distributing stress more evenly and reducing the potential for fatigue failure. Made from high-strength alloy steels such as ASTM A182 F11, F22, and A350 LF2, they offer excellent performance and durability under severe conditions. The long neck design also facilitates a smooth and continuous weld to the pipe, ensuring a secure and leak-proof joint. Commonly used in industries like oil and gas, chemical processing, and power generation, these flanges are ideal for critical applications where the integrity of the connection is crucial.
