Our Code 61 and Code 62 hydraulic socket weld flanges are used to securely connect pipes in hydraulic systems. In a socket weld connection, the pipe is inserted into the flange's socket and welded around the base, where the pipe meets the flange at a 90-degree angle. Although the weld penetration is not as deep as with butt weld connections, socket welds are often preferred for their ease of installation. Code 61 flanges are typically used for lower pressure applications, while Code 62 flanges are designed for higher pressure environments, providing a reliable and efficient connection in hydraulic systems.
