The Long Weld Neck Flange is normally referred to as the high hub flange. It is designed to transfer stresses to the pipe, thereby reducing high stress concentrations at the base of the flange.
The Long Weld Neck Flanges are the best designed butt-welded flange of those currently available becuase of its inherent structural value. It is expensive because of the design.

Their static strength is equal to Slip On flanges, but their fatigue strength 50% greater than double-welded Slip On flanges.
Long Weld Neck Flanges
Long welding neck flange, lwn flanges are similar to a standard Welding Neck flanges, but the “Neck” is considerably longer than other flanges. LWN flange is often used as a nozzle for a barrel or column. In addition, there are the type LWN Heavy Barrel (HB) and the Equal LWN Barrel (E); they have a different shape and a thicker “Wall”.
