Inconel 690 Socket Weld Flanges are forged high-chromium nickel-iron-chromium alloy flanges made from UNS N06690 / W.Nr. 2.4642 material, typically supplied to ASTM B564 material requirements and ASME B16.5 dimensional standards in pressure classes 150# – 1500#. Ragnar Metals & Tubes manufactures and exports these flanges with RF / FF facing options, EN 10204 3.1/3.2 documentation, and third-party inspection on request.
Ragnar Metals & Tubes is a 690 Socket Weld Flange Supplier and manufacturer of Inconel 690 (UNS N06690) socket weld flanges to ASTM B564 and applicable ASME flange dimensional standards, with common sizes and classes available from stock, subject to current inventory, for export and EPC orders.
A socket weld flange has a recessed socket bore into which the pipe end is inserted before a single fillet weld is applied around the outside, most commonly used on smaller-bore, high-pressure lines. The smooth internal bore of a socket weld joint offers good flow characteristics with less turbulence than a threaded connection, though a small gap is normally left at the base of the socket per code requirements, and the design is generally avoided in severe cyclic or thermal service due to crevice-corrosion risk at that gap.
Inconel 690 is a high-chromium nickel-iron-chromium alloy (UNS N06690) known for a high chromium content that gives strong resistance to oxidizing acids and to stress corrosion cracking in high-purity water.

The Middle East and Indian sub-continent are home to hundreds of metal suppliers ranging from small trading shops to large ISO-certified manufacturers. International buyers typically evaluate a supplier on quality compliance, production capability, export experience and pricing transparency before placing a bulk order.
Recessed socket bore for pipe insertion
Single fillet weld, no internal weld bead protruding into the bore
Smooth bore reduces flow turbulence versus threaded types
Typically limited to smaller nominal bore sizes
Common in high-pressure instrumentation and utility piping
