Learn more about theoretical bursting pressures for stainless steel pipe. Stainless steel raised face socket weld flanges, are used to block the end of a pipe system or valve. The raised face is engineered to concentrate more pressure to a smaller area on the flange, which provides an increased containment capability at higher pressures. The flange needs to be welded to the pipe. Socket weld flanges were originally designed for smaller, high pressure pipe.
