Stainless Steel & High-Nickel Alloy Socket Weld Flange Grades
Specify SS 304, SS 316, SS 310, SS 904L, HASTELLOY, Alloy 20, MONEL or INCONEL in your socket weld flange enquiry. Include the exact grade or UNS designation, flange size, pressure class, facing, quantity and required material test certificate.
| Material category | Grade / alloy | Technical designation to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Stainless steel | SS 304 / 304L | For forged flange enquiries: ASTM A182 F304 / F304L where required by the project. State the exact grade, not just SS. |
| Stainless steel | SS 316 / 316L | For forged flange enquiries: ASTM A182 F316 / F316L where required. 316 and 316L are separate designations. |
| Heat-resistant stainless steel | SS 310 / 310S | Specify 310 or 310S separately. Confirm the applicable product specification, heat treatment and design temperature; no automatic substitution. |
| High-alloy austenitic stainless steel | SS 904L | 904L is stainless steel with high nickel and molybdenum content, not an INCONEL or MONEL grade. Specify the applicable product standard and certificate requirement. |
| Nickel-alloy family | HASTELLOY® | State the exact alloy: e.g. C-276 (UNS N10276) or C-22 (UNS N06022). Family name alone is insufficient; examples are not a stock declaration. |
| High-nickel austenitic alloy | Alloy 20 (UNS N08020) | Specify Alloy 20 and the applicable product form/specification. Do not treat it as equivalent to 904L or 316L. |
| Nickel-copper alloy family | MONEL® | State the exact alloy, e.g. MONEL 400 (UNS N04400), with product specification. Other MONEL grades must be identified separately. |
| Nickel-alloy family | INCONEL® | State the exact alloy, e.g. INCONEL 600 (UNS N06600) or INCONEL 625 (UNS N06625). These are different grades, not interchangeable. |
Supply availability, manufacturing route, applicable material specification and suitability for the selected flange configuration are confirmed during technical review. This table is not a claim that every grade is stocked in every flange type. Dimensional standards such as ASME B16.5 do not by themselves define material grade or approve service conditions.

Dimensions are in mm. NPS denotes nominal pipe size. Bolt-hole entries show the hole count followed by the hole diameter. Confirm final dimensions against the applicable standard and approved drawing.
This is not a stocked-size list. Bore, hub, thickness, thread, socket and facing are configuration-specific. Confirm the required standard edition and approved drawing before procurement.
Technical Selection Notes
Socket diameter and depth, pipe wall, assembly clearance and approved weld detail are important to socket weld flange selection. A nominal size and material name alone do not establish mating compatibility. Compare the complete connection details with the approved piping or equipment drawing.
For forged-material enquiries, state the exact ASTM A182 stainless/alloy designation or ASTM A105 carbon-steel requirement where applicable. Material and availability require confirmation. When enquiring about a stainless-steel grade, use its complete product-standard designation rather than only a commercial label such as “SS 316”. For example, a forged socket weld flange enquiry may specify ASTM A182 F304, F304L, F316 or F316L where required by the project; ASTM A105 is a separate carbon-steel forging specification. These are RFQ designation examples, not a confirmed supply range. Any grade substitution needs project approval.
Application Areas
Engineered small-bore process lines, plant utilities and auxiliary piping. These are application contexts, not an approval for every pressure, temperature, fluid or installation.
For pharma, dairy or food-related projects, distinguish utility piping from product-contact hygienic connections. Specify surface finish, cleaning requirements and applicable hygienic design; an ordinary industrial flange is not automatically a sanitary fitting.
Request a Technical Quotation
Send the socket weld flange requirement, quantity, material specification, nominal size, class or design rating, facing, service conditions, socket diameter and depth, pipe wall, assembly clearance and approved weld detail, and delivery location. Supply scope and lead time are confirmed in the quotation.
For a ASME B16.5 socket weld flange supplier enquiry, attach your purchase specification or drawing. Ask for the exact manufacturer identity, material traceability and inspection scope required by your project. We will review the requested configuration before confirming supply.
