Inconel 625 Weld Neck Flanges (WNRF / WNFF / WNRTJ)
Inconel 625 Weld Neck flanges are distinguished by a long tapered hub that provides reinforcement and distributes stress away from the flange-pipe junction. The bore is matched precisely to the pipe’s inner diameter, ensuring smooth, turbulence-free flow. These flanges are the standard specification for high-pressure and high-temperature critical service in offshore and chemical process piping.
- Manufactured to ASTM B564 / ASME SB564; dimensions per ASME B16.5 (up to 24″ NB) and ASME B16.47 (above 24″ NB).
- Available in Class 150 to Class 2500; PN 6 to PN 100.
- Bore matched to pipe schedule: SCH 5S, 10S, 40S, 80S, 160S, XXS.
- Face options: Raised Face (RF), Flat Face (FF), Ring Type Joint (RTJ).
- Size range: 1/2″ NB to 60″ NB.
- Preferred specification for subsea wellheads, offshore risers, and high-pressure chemical reactors.
Inconel 625 Blind Flanges (BLRF / BLFF / BLRTJ)
Inconel 625 Blind flanges are solid-face flanges without a bore, used to close or blank off the end of a pipeline, nozzle, or pressure vessel. They are available in all pressure classes from Class 150 to Class 2500 and in all standard face types.
- Used for pipeline termination, branch isolation, pressure testing, and maintenance access points.
- Large-diameter blind flanges (above 24″ NB) manufactured to ASME B16.47 Series A or B.
- Available in standard and custom thicknesses to suit high-pressure applications.
- Size range: 1/2″ NB to 60″ NB.
- Heavy-wall custom blinds available for Class 1500 and Class 2500 service.
Inconel 625 Slip On Flanges (SORF / SOFF)
Inconel 625 Slip On flanges have a bore slightly larger than the pipe’s outer diameter, allowing the pipe to be inserted and then welded on both the inside and outside. They are simpler and lower-cost to install than weld neck flanges and are appropriate for low-to-medium pressure service.
- Double-welded construction — both inside bore fillet weld and outside fillet weld for strength.
- Easier alignment during installation vs weld neck.
- Manufactured to ASME B16.5; available Class 150 to Class 600.
- Size range: 1/2″ NB to 24″ NB.
- Commonly specified in general chemical process piping, utility lines, and non-critical offshore systems.
Inconel 625 Socket Weld Flanges (SWRF)
Inconel 625 Socket Weld flanges are used for small-diameter, high-pressure piping systems. The pipe is inserted into a recessed socket in the flange and a single fillet weld is applied around the hub. The socket ensures the pipe sits at the correct insertion depth and is held concentric during welding, eliminating bore mismatch that can create turbulence in high-pressure instrumentation and injection lines.
- Designed for small bore applications: 1/2″ NB to 4″ NB.
- Suitable for high-pressure service: Class 600, 900, 1500, 2500.
- No bore mismatch — socket ensures automatic pipe-to-flange alignment.
- Used in hydraulic systems, instrumentation lines, and high-pressure chemical injection systems.
Inconel 625 Blind Flanges — Ring Type Joint (RTJ)
Inconel 625 RTJ flanges use a ring-shaped metal gasket seated in a precision-machined groove in the flange face. The ring deforms under bolt load to create a leak-proof metal-to-metal seal, the most reliable sealing arrangement for extreme pressure and temperature service.
- Specified for Class 600, 900, 1500, and 2500 pressure classes.
- Ring gasket materials: Soft iron, low-carbon steel, 316L SS, Inconel 625 (self-sealing in extreme service).
- Groove dimensions and ring profiles per ASME B16.20.
- Mandatory specification in subsea wellhead, Christmas tree, and HPHT (high-pressure high-temperature) piping systems.
- Manufactured to ASME B16.5 and API 6A where applicable.
Inconel 625 Lap Joint Flanges
Inconel 625 Lap Joint flanges are used in conjunction with a stub end (lap joint stub end), allowing the flange to rotate freely around the pipe. This makes them ideal for systems requiring frequent dismantling for inspection, cleaning, or component replacement.
- Flange rotates 360° — bolt holes can be aligned without rotating the pipe.
- Only the stub end (pipe-connected component) needs to be in Inconel 625; the backing flange can be carbon steel, reducing cost in non-corrosive applications.
- Size range: 1/2″ NB to 24″ NB.
- Used in pharmaceutical, food processing, and chemical plants where regular maintenance access is required.
Inconel 625 Threaded Flanges
Inconel 625 Threaded flanges connect to the pipe via a threaded bore, no welding required. This makes them suitable for applications where welding is not feasible due to fire hazard, material restrictions, or access limitations.
- Thread types: NPT, MPT, MNPT, FPT, BSPT, BSP, FNPT per ASME B1.20.1, BSPP.
- Suitable for low-pressure systems: Class 150 to Class 600.
- Size range: 1/2″ NB to 4″ NB.
- Used in hazardous environments where welding is restricted (explosive atmospheres, classified areas).

Manufacturing Process of Inconel 625 Flanges
- Raw Material Inspection: Certified Inconel 625 (UNS N06625) billets verified for chemical composition and mechanical properties per ASTM B564 before any processing begins.
- Billet Cutting: Precision cutting to required blank sizes — minimises material wastage and ensures dimensional consistency.
- Heating: Billets heated in temperature-controlled furnaces to optimal forging temperature, maintaining metallurgical integrity throughout.
- Forging: Hot forging under hydraulic presses or forging hammers forms the flange shape. The forging process refines grain structure, improving strength and fatigue resistance compared to cast alternatives.
- Heat Treatment: Solution annealing followed by controlled cooling removes internal stresses, restores ductility, and ensures corrosion resistance is fully maintained.
- CNC Machining: Computer-controlled machining produces precise bore sizes, bolt hole patterns, flange thicknesses, and facing types to ASME B16.5 / B16.47 tolerances.
- Surface Finishing: Grinding, polishing, or shot blasting removes scale and achieves the specified surface finish for the face type required.
- Final Inspection: 100% dimensional inspection, PMI verification, hydrostatic testing where specified, and full documentation preparation before despatch.

Frequently Asked Questions About Inconel 625 Flanges
1. How suitable are Inconel 625 flanges for cryogenic applications?
Inconel 625 flanges are also characterized by high mechanical strength and toughness in cryogenic conditions to -196°C (-320°F). It is not able to fracture at low temperatures in a brittle manner, the high nickel content and solid-solution-strengthened structure makes it impossible to occur like ferritic steels which have a ductile-to-brittle transition. They can thus be used in the LNG pipelines, cryogenic storage tanks, and low-temperature process equipment without low-temperature impact testing.
2. What is the maximum service temperature of Inconel 625 flanges?
Continuous service up to 982°C (1800°F) at oxidising atmospheres is possible using Inconel 625 flanges. Exposure to 1093°C (2000°F) is tolerable in the case of intermittent or short-duration service. The table above (per ASME B16.5) is the pressure-temperature ratings that specifies the way high pressure can be operated at each operating temperature, however, the lower the temperature, the lower the allowable pressure is – above 500°C the allowable pressure drops considerably.
3. What is the coefficient of thermal expansion of Inconel 625 flanges?
The average thermal expansion rate of the Inconel 625 ranges between 21°C and 100°C is about 12.8 × 10⁻⁶/°C and between 21°C and 300°C is 13.5 × 10⁻⁶/°C. This should be taken into consideration in the design of flanged joints where the system undergoes large temperature cycles – the difference in the expansion rate of flange, pipe, and bolting material should be considered in the design of the flange joint.
4. How machinable are Inconel 625 flanges?
Inconel 625 is believed to be moderately machinable. It hardens quickly in cutting, it demands sharp tooling, low cutting speed, high feeding rate and sufficient coolant. Flange machining CNC machining of the flanges is done with carbide tools and with positive rake angles. The machining cost is high when compared to austenitic stainless steel because the alloy is tough and exhibits the work-hardening tendency, whereas the machining process is quite routine with experienced nickel alloy fabrication plants like Kalpataru pipe production.
5. What is the difference between Inconel 625 and Hastelloy C276 flanges?
Both alloys excel in corrosive environments, but they are specified for different threats. Inconel 625 has a higher niobium content for superior weld stability and performs better under cyclic thermal stress. Hastelloy C276 has a higher molybdenum content (15–17%) and is preferred where reducing acids (HCl, H₂SO₄) are the primary corrosive agent. For mixed or oxidising acid environments, Inconel 625 is typically the engineer’s first choice. Our technical team can advise on grade selection for your specific process stream — contact us with your service conditions.
6. Are your Inconel 625 flanges dual-stamped or traceable to a specific heat?
Yes. Every Inconel 625 flange supplied by Kalpataru Piping carries a heat number stamped on the flange body and traceable to the original billet. The EN 10204 3.1 Mill Test Certificate links the heat number to the chemical analysis, mechanical test results, and PMI report for that specific heat. For projects requiring 3.2 certification, third-party inspection by Bureau Veritas, SGS, TÜV, or Intertek can be arranged at the enquiry stage.
