AAP XS weld neck flange, 2"

This AAP XS weld neck flange is made from carbon steel to ANSI B16.5 Class 150. It is supplied in 6 sizes from 2" (50mm) to 8" (200mm).

A weld neck flange has a long tapered hub that is butt welded to the pipe, which passes load smoothly into the pipe wall. It is the usual choice where pressure, temperature or cyclic loading is higher. The XS version is bored for extra strong (heavy wall) pipe. Forged steel flanges are commonly specified in the oil, gas, petrochemical and mining sectors, where pressure, temperature and safety considerations are higher. They are hot forged and then machined. A105 forgings are not recommended for prolonged use above 427 °C.

Key specifications

Choosing the right option

Match the standard and table or class to the mating flange and compare the drilling dimensions, because flanges made to different standards are not interchangeable. Gaskets and bolting are not included.
