An ASTM A335 P22 weld neck flange is a flange with a long tapered hub that is butt-welded to the pipe, for use with ASTM A335 P22 pipe. ASTM A335 P22 itself is a pipe or plate specification, so the matching weld neck flange is made to ASTM A182 F22 — which is what we supply for P22 lines. 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.

When to Choose a Weld Neck Flange
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.
- Bore must match the pipe schedule — state it on the order
- Hub length and taper per ASME B16.5 / B16.47 tables
- Most common facing: raised face; RTJ for high-pressure classes

ASTM A335 P22 Weld Neck Flange: Why P22 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 ASTM A335 P22, 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 | Carbon and low-alloy flanges carry most utility, hydrocarbon and high-temperature service. ASTM A335 P22 is picked for high-pressure steam and hydrogen service up to about 580 °C. |
|---|---|
| Typical service | Power plants — High-pressure steam lines. |
| B16.5 material group | 1.10 — Group 1.10 applies to A182 F22 Class 3. Chrome-moly welds usually need PWHT; the code sets thickness exemptions. |
| Bolting | ASTM A193 B7 studs with A194 2H nuts; B16 with Gr 4 or 7 nuts where the temperature calls for it |
| Welding to carbon steel | Matching carbon or low-alloy filler is used; joints to stainless need ER309L |
| Matching filler | ER90S-B3 / E9018-B3 |

ASTM A335 P22 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 ASTM A335 P22 weld neck flange have?
It depends on class and temperature. ASTM A335 P22 forgings are in ASME B16.5 material group 1.10; read your class column in that group's table at the design temperature.
Can ASTM A335 P22 weld neck flanges be welded to carbon steel?
Yes — matching carbon or low-alloy filler is used; joints to stainless need ER309L.
Which standard covers ASTM A335 P22 weld neck flanges?
The material is ASTM A182 F22; 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 ASTM A335 P22 weld neck flange?
The steel price, the size and pressure class, quantity, and the testing and documents required. Send your list and we quote the same working day.
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.
