Alloy 625 · UNS N06625
An Inconel 625 stub end is a short pipe length with a flared lap that works with a lap joint flange, made from Inconel 625 to ASTM B366 WPNCMC. Stub ends are welded to the pipe and backed by a loose lap joint flange. Type A (long pattern, ASME B16.9) and short-pattern MSS SP-43 stub ends are the common choices.

When to Choose a Stub End
Stub ends are welded to the pipe and backed by a loose lap joint flange. Type A (long pattern, ASME B16.9) and short-pattern MSS SP-43 stub ends are the common choices.
- Long pattern (ASME B16.9) and short pattern (MSS SP-43)
- Type A, B and C lap designs
- Used with a carbon-steel backing flange to save alloy

Inconel 625 Stub End: Why 625 for stub ends
Stub ends are welded to the pipe and backed by a loose lap joint flange. Type A (long pattern, ASME B16.9) and short-pattern MSS SP-43 stub ends are the common choices. In Inconel 625, the choice usually comes down to the medium and temperature — the rows here are the points buyers check for this exact combination.
| Why this grade | Nickel-alloy fittings match nickel-alloy pipe in aggressive media. Inconel 625 is picked for seawater, high strength and high temperature in one alloy. |
|---|---|
| Typical service | Offshore & subsea — Risers, flowlines and clad pipe. |
| Welding to carbon steel | A nickel-base filler such as ERNiCr-3 (or ERNiCrMo-3) is used when joining it to carbon steel |
| Matching filler | ERNiCrMo-3 (AWS A5.14) |
| Sour service | Listed in NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156-3 within its limits — state it on the order |

Inconel 625 Stub End — questions buyers ask
Long or short stub end?
Long-pattern stub ends to ASME B16.9 suit most piping; short-pattern MSS SP-43 stub ends save alloy and space in low-pressure lines.
Can Inconel 625 stub ends be welded to carbon steel?
Yes — a nickel-base filler such as ERNiCr-3 (or ERNiCrMo-3) is used when joining it to carbon steel.
Which standard covers Inconel 625 stub ends?
The material is ASTM B366 WPNCMC; dimensions follow ASME B16.9 · MSS SP-43. Always state both on your purchase order, with the edition if your project specifies one.
What decides the price of a Inconel 625 stub end?
The alloy price, the size and schedule or class, quantity, and the testing and documents required. Send your list and we quote the same working day.
Can you supply Inconel 625 stub ends to NACE MR0175?
Yes. Inconel 625 is listed in NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156-3 within its limits; state NACE compliance on the order and it is confirmed on the certificate.
What documents do you supply?
EN 10204 3.1 or 3.2 certificates available on request / as specified in the PO; dimensional reports as required. PMI can be arranged depending on product and requirements, as specified in the PO.
