BLD Forge Direct reviews long weld neck flange RFQs based on standard, drawing, pressure class, material grade, overall length, neck OD, bore, facing, inspection requirements and destination country before quotation.
| Product family | Flanges |
|---|---|
| Typical scope | Long weld neck flanges; High hub flange designs; ASME LWN flanges by drawing; Class 150 to 2500 pressure projects; Custom overall length, neck OD and bore review |
| Standards / drawings | ASME B16.5; Project drawings for custom long weld neck or high hub flanges; ASME B16.47 where larger diameter project drawings require review; EN / DIN or GOST references when the project drawing uses those systems; ASTM material standards for carbon, low-temperature, stainless and duplex grades |
| Material review | ASTM A105; ASTM A350 LF2; Stainless steel grades such as 304, 316, 321 or 347; Duplex and super duplex grades when specified; Project-specified alloy grades subject to drawing review |
| Critical RFQ variables | Overall length; Neck outside diameter; Bore and transition details; NPS / DN and pressure class / PN; Facing and bolt pattern; Material grade and heat treatment |
| Inspection documents | MTC EN 10204 3.1; Heat treatment record; Dimensional report; PMI when alloy verification is required; UT, MT or PT when specified; Tensile, impact or hardness test records when required |
This section is written for buyers checking whether the picture, product name and quotation scope match the same forged part.
Best for vessel nozzles, high hub designs and pressure connections requiring extended neck geometry.
Pressure vessels, heat exchangers, separators, reactors and high-pressure process equipment.
Overall length, neck OD, bore, wall transition, class, facing and bolt pattern are critical.
Send drawing, standard reference, class, bore, neck dimensions, material, quantity, NDT and third-party inspection needs.
Dimensional report, bore transition, UT or MT, heat treatment record and MTC 3.1 should be confirmed early.
These product-specific values make the page different from a generic catalogue listing and help engineering buyers send a complete first inquiry.
| High-hub geometry | Overall length, neck OD, bore transition and weld-end geometry are the first quotation checks, not only NPS and Class. |
|---|---|
| Size and rating review | Commonly ASME B16.5 Class 150 to 2500 by drawing; custom high-hub and vessel-nozzle lengths are reviewed case by case. |
| Standard references | ASME B16.5 LWN, vessel nozzle drawings, pressure vessel specification, ASME B16.47 for large custom drawings by review. |
| Critical dimensions | Overall length, hub/neck OD, bore, wall transition, facing, bolt pattern, weld bevel and machining allowance. |
| Inspection depth | Dimensional report, UT/MT, MTC 3.1, heat-treatment record and third-party inspection for high-pressure projects. |
Direct Product Datasheet
Download the visible product-page technical data as a PDF before sending drawings or line items. This datasheet is generated from the page's published RFQ scope table and does not invent standard dimensions.
This direct link is not gated by a form. For ASME B16.5 Class 150 selected dimensions, use the standard dimension check sheet where shown below.
Open this page when your RFQ matches one of these scope items, or send a drawing if the forged part is non-standard.
Long weld neck flanges
High hub flange designs
ASME LWN flanges by drawing
Class 150 to 2500 pressure projects
Custom overall length, neck OD and bore review
Forged blanks with machining allowance
These names may appear in drawings, purchase lists, distributor RFQs and supplier shortlists.
The strongest RFQ gives the commercial team the same technical language used by engineering, QA and the final buyer.
Use this route to understand what has to be confirmed before price, lead time, MTC 3.1 and third-party inspection commitments are made.
Material grade, heat number, certificate basis and substitution limits are checked against the Long Weld Neck Flanges drawing or standard before procurement is released.
The forging route is selected around flange type, section thickness, bore allowance, hub or neck geometry and pressure-service requirements.
Heat treatment is planned with the required record package, mechanical testing basis and impact-test condition where low-temperature or alloy service applies.
Rough machining opens reference faces, bore, hub, neck or sealing-face stock needed to control allowance before final flange machining.
Final machining controls facing, bore, bolt pattern, groove, sealing surface and flange-table or drawing tolerances before dimensional inspection is issued.
Inspection covers dimensional report, MTC 3.1, PMI and required UT, MT or PT records before the release documents are matched to the purchase order.
Marking, packing and export documents are prepared by PO line item so the Long Weld Neck Flanges shipment can clear customs and be identified at site receiving.
Include document requirements with the first RFQ so inspection cost and timing are visible before offer comparison.

Short answers for common RFQ questions.
Yes. Send the latest drawing revision with overall length, neck outside diameter, bore, facing, material grade, quantity and inspection requirements for review before quotation.
The first RFQ should include standard or drawing, NPS or DN, pressure class or PN, overall length, neck outside diameter, bore, facing, bolt pattern, material, quantity, inspection and destination country.
Common long weld neck flange materials include ASTM A105, A350 LF2, stainless steel grades and duplex grades, with final feasibility confirmed by drawing and project requirements.
For high-pressure LWN flanges, provide the drawing, pressure class, bore, wall transition, facing, material, heat treatment, NDT requirements and any third-party inspection requirement.
Inspection documents such as MTC 3.1, heat treatment records, dimensional reports, PMI, UT, MT, PT and third-party inspection support can be reviewed and arranged according to the project requirement.
