A Hastelloy C276 weld neck flange is a flange with a long tapered hub that is butt-welded to the pipe, made from Hastelloy C276 to ASTM B462 / B564. Choose a weld neck flange for high pressure, high or low temperature and cyclic loading. The tapered hub moves stress away from the flange face, and the full-penetration butt weld can be radiographed.

Hastelloy C276 Weld Neck Flange: Why C276 for weld neck flanges
Choose a weld neck flange for high pressure, high or low temperature and cyclic loading. The tapered hub moves stress away from the flange face, and the full-penetration butt weld can be radiographed. In Hastelloy C276, 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 flanges are used where acids, chlorides or heat defeat stainless. Hastelloy C276 is picked for the most aggressive mixed acids, wet chlorine and hypochlorite. |
|---|---|
| Typical service | Chemical processing — Reactors, heat exchangers and piping for mixed acids. |

Hastelloy C276 Weld Neck Flange — questions buyers ask
Why is the bore important on a weld neck flange?
The flange bore is machined to the inside diameter of the pipe schedule, so the weld is smooth inside. A wrong bore leaves a step that disturbs flow and complicates the weld.
What pressure rating does a Hastelloy C276 weld neck flange have?
It depends on class and temperature. Hastelloy C276 forgings are in ASME B16.5 material group 3.8; read your class column in that group's table at the design temperature.
Can Hastelloy C276 weld neck flanges 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 Hastelloy C276 weld neck flanges?
The material is ASTM B462 / B564; dimensions follow ASME B16.5 · B16.47. Always state both on your purchase order, with the edition if your project specifies one.
What decides the price of a Hastelloy C276 weld neck flange?
The alloy price, the size and pressure class, quantity, and the testing and documents required. Send your list and we quote the same working day.
Can you supply Hastelloy C276 weld neck flanges to NACE MR0175?
Yes. Hastelloy C276 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 mill certificates as standard, 3.2 with third-party inspection on request, plus dimensional and PMI reports.
