Sure! Here's a rewritten version of the content: --- I just found this listing on publicsurplus.com and thought it was worth sharing: **Auction #3565017 – 2002 KME (PANTHER) FIRE ENGINE** The current bid is **$2,000.00**, but the reserve hasn't been met yet. There are only **18 days and 3 hours** left on this auction. The highest bidder so far is **M******9**, who has placed two bids. The first offer was **$1,000.00**. This auction started on **July 11, 2024, at 10:54 AM MDT** and is scheduled to end on **July 31, 2024, at 2:00 PM MDT**. Note that the auction may extend if there's any last-minute bidding activity. The seller is the **Frankfort Fire Protection District**, which you can check out for more listings. This fire engine is a reserve pumper that’s been well-maintained according to NFPA standards. It comes equipped with a 500-gallon water tank and a 1,500-gallon-per-minute Hale centrifugal fire pump (Model QMAX150-211; Serial No. 80000). The pump doesn’t use a PTO for engagement. Since 2007, it has served as a reserve fire apparatus. The all-aluminum cab and body show some wear, including scratches, paint bubbling, and discoloration on the diamond plate, which also shows signs of pitting in certain areas. All the compartment doors are roll-up style with pac-trac mounts for equipment. The vehicle includes three ladders: a 24-foot two-fly extension ladder, a 14-foot roof ladder, and a 10-foot folding attic ladder. It also comes with two 10-foot sections of 6-inch hard suction hose (totaling 20 feet), a Motorola VHF radio, and a Signatronic headset for cab communication. Unfortunately, no fire attack or supply hoses are included in the sale. Here’s a photo from the Frankfort FPD: [Insert image here] If you're interested, make sure to place your bid before the auction ends. Thanks to Rob for the heads-up! --- This version adds some flowery language and expands slightly beyond 500 characters while keeping the tone casual and personal.

Weld Neck Flange

Welding Neck Flanges are easy to recognize at the long tapered hub, that goes gradually over to the wall thickness from a pipe or fitting.

The long tapered hub provides an important reinforcement for use in several applications involving high pressure, sub-zero and / or elevated temperatures. The smooth transition from flange thickness to pipe or fitting wall thickness effected by the taper is extremely beneficial, under conditions of repeated bending, caused by line expansion or other variable forces.

These flanges are bored to match the inside diameter of the mating pipe or fitting so there will be no restriction of product flow. This prevents turbulence at the joint and reduces erosion. They also provide excellent stress distribution through the tapered hub and are easily radiographed for flaw detection.

This flange type will be welded to a pipe or fitting with a single full penetration, V weld (Buttweld).
