ASME B16.47 Series B Class 150 Welding Neck Flanges are large-diameter forged flanges designed for industrial piping systems that require reliable sealing, accurate dimensions, and stable mechanical performance.

The flange has a tapered hub and is connected directly to the pipe by butt welding. This design helps distribute stress more evenly and provides a strong connection for large-diameter piping systems.

These flanges are commonly used in oil and gas, petrochemical, chemical processing, power generation, marine, and other industrial applications. The source site also lists oil and gas, petrochemical, and power generation as typical uses for ASME B16.47 flanges.
Product Description

ASME B16.47 Series B Class 150 Welding Neck Flanges Descriptions

ASME B16.47 Series B Class 150 Welding Neck Flanges are manufactured for large-diameter piping systems according to ASME B16.47 Series B dimensional requirements.

A Welding Neck Flange has a tapered hub and is butt welded directly to the pipe. The gradual transition between the flange hub and pipe helps reduce localized stress and improves connection stability.

The source site describes Weld Neck Flanges as high-neck flanges with extra strength and stability, suitable for industrial systems involving pressure and temperature.
