Pipe fittings Buttwelding Ends
We aware the beveling is very important processes in the whole production procession of butt-welding pipe fittings, we always make beveling according to the standard strictly. In the behavior, we make beveling after shot blasting, bevel ends are fully machined by advanced equipment Double Beveling Machine ensure the height, length, thickness, O.D. and I.D. are all qualified.
Welding Bevel acc.to
Our in-hourse R&D team developed bevel ends equipment are good using in thickness 2mm to 20mm pipe fittings, guarantee high efficiency and high quality.
Send us your technical drawings: fsapexsteel will supply you with whatever flanges you are looking for.
| Nominal wall Thickness : t | End Preparation |
| t<5mm (for austenitic alloy steel t<4mm) |
Cut square or slightly chamfer at manufacturer ‘ s option |
| 5<t<22mm (4<t<22mm) |
Plain Bevel as in sketch ( a ) above |

Weld End Preparations
Joining Welding Neck Flanges To Pipe Of Equal Or Lesser Wall Thickness
*For thicker flanges, see ASME B16.9
WELDBEND NOTES:
Weld neck Flanges can be joined to pipe of lesser wall with proper end preparation and joint design.
The recommendations that follow apply to weld neck flanges with standard plain end bevels (as shown above) and with a hub thickness at the bevel no greater than 1 1/2 times the mating pipe thickness.
The thickness of the flange hub at the weld bevel and the pipe shall be in accordance with the design requirements of the applicable section of ASME B31 Code for Pressure Piping.
When the internal offset due to unequal thickness does not exceed 1/2 times the pipe wall thickness, then the rules and figures given on page 75 are recommended as well for joining weld neck flanges to pipe of lesser wall and/or higher strength.
When the additional thickness of the hub at the bevel results in an offset at the outside diameters of the ends to be joined, reference should be made to ASME B31 and ASME B16.5
Bevel Wall Thickness (t) 0.19 In. To 0.88 In. Inclusive
A = Outside Diameter of flange and mating pipe (inches)
B = Inside Diameter of flange (inches)
t = Wall thickness of flange hub at bevel (inches)
Note:
For bevel wall thickness over .88″ refer to ASME B16.5
for alternative detail.
