The socket welding flange derives it name socket weld as the flange has bore and counter bore where in the matching pipe slips on. The Inside diameter of the pipe and the smaller bore of flanges matches amicably to navigate smooth flow and. While the outside diameter of pipe matches perfectly with the bigger bore of flange or the groove of flange to be welded properly to create leak free assembly both from welding inside and by welding outside.
