4″ 1500 XH RFWN Flange – Carbon Steel – Import

The 4″ 1500 XH RFWN Flange – Carbon Steel – Import is designed for high-pressure applications where durability and strength are essential. This 4-inch NPS flange, rated for 1500 class and extra heavy-duty use, provides a dependable solution for various industrial needs. It features a black paint coating that guards against corrosion and is kept in like-new condition, ready for immediate use.

Key Features

• Extra Heavy (XH) Duty
  The “XH” stands for extra heavy, indicating the flange’s increased wall thickness. This thicker design enhances its durability and strength. The flange is built to handle high-pressure environments, ensuring it performs well in demanding applications.
• 1500 Class
  The “1500” pressure class indicates the maximum pressure this flange can handle at a given temperature. Rated for Class 1500, it is ideal for high-pressure applications.
• Raised Face Design
  The raised face improves sealing performance by providing a better surface for gaskets. It enhances the flange’s ability to prevent leaks and distributes pressure more evenly across the gasket, which reduces leakage risk. This design also meets widely accepted standards, ensuring compatibility with various systems.
• Weld Neck Configuration
  This design integrates the flange directly with the pipe, providing a strong connection. The tapered neck offers a smooth transition from the flange to the pipe, enhancing strength and reliability under pressure. The flange’s neck is welded to the pipe using a full penetration weld, creating a continuous and robust connection.
• Eight Bolt Holes
  The flange features eight bolt holes that ensure a secure attachment to pipes. For your convenience, here’s a link to a free bolting chart.
• Indoor Storage
  This flange is stored indoors and remains in excellent condition, ready for immediate use.
• Carbon Steel Construction
  Crafted from carbon steel, the flange offers durability and resistance to wear. Carbon steel is strong, durable, and affordable. It is a cost-effective alternative to stainless steel or alloy flanges for many applications.

Benefits of Carbon Steel Over Other Materials

• Strength and Durability
  Carbon steel flanges provide excellent tensile strength, making them suitable for high-pressure and high-stress environments.
• Cost-Effective
  Compared to stainless steel or alloy flanges, carbon steel is more affordable. This makes it a budget-friendly option without sacrificing performance.
• Weldability
  Carbon steel is easier to weld than some other materials, simplifying installation and maintenance.
• Corrosion Protection
  While carbon steel is less resistant to corrosion than stainless steel, it can withstand many environments. The black paint coating provides additional protection, extending the flange’s lifespan even in harsh conditions.
