2. Methods of SAE flange Socket Welding, it is normal flange connections by Flange with O-ring groove to counter flange O-ring seal, as socket welding end, a pipe is inserted into a recessed area of the fitting. Both the pipe and the fitting are square cut, with no need for beveled end or preparation other than cleaning the outside, which allows easy welding and installation as follow:
3. Welding Gap and Minimum Flat Dimensions for Socket-Welding as per ASME B16.11-2016
1. SAE 4 Bolt Flange Socket Welding 1FLW-W/ 1FSW-W
2. SAE 4 Bolt Counter Flange Socket Welding 1FLW-WM/ 1FSW-WM
