Midland 316 Stainless Steel Weld Neck Flange

Midland 316 Stainless Steel Raised Face Weld Neck Flanges are designed for high-strength, permanent flange connections in demanding piping systems. Manufactured from Type 316 stainless steel, these flanges provide superior corrosion resistance, making them ideal for chemical processing, marine environments, food processing, pharmaceutical, and industrial applications.

The weld neck design features a long tapered hub that reduces stress concentrations and improves flow characteristics, while the raised face (RF) sealing surface provides dependable gasket compression for leak-resistant bolted connections.

Key Features

• Type 316 stainless steel construction
• Raised Face (RF) sealing surface
• Weld neck design with tapered hub
• Butt-weld connection for permanent installation
• Superior corrosion resistance, including chlorides and harsh chemicals
• Precision-machined gasket seating surface
• Designed for high-pressure and high-temperature piping systems

Construction Details

Manufactured from premium Type 316 stainless steel for exceptional durability and long-term resistance to corrosion in aggressive service environments.

The tapered neck is designed for butt welding directly to the pipe, creating a smooth bore transition that minimizes turbulence while maximizing joint strength.

The raised face is precision machined to provide consistent gasket seating and reliable sealing performance when paired with a compatible mating flange.

Important Notes

Verify flange size, pressure class, facing type, and material compatibility before installation.

Professional butt welding is recommended to ensure proper alignment and long-term structural integrity.

Use compatible gaskets, fasteners, and recommended bolt torque procedures to achieve a secure, leak-resistant flange connection.
