slip-on, flat welding, socket weld – socket welding; plug and socket welding
Agree with the view from the third floor: in the pipeline material grade table, SW is used for socket welding, while SO is used for butt welding
SO is mainly used on flanges, referring to butt-welded flanges
The original poster can check the manufacturer’s flange samples; they are quite comprehensive.
socket weld --- socket welding butt weld ------butt welding threaded------threaded (connection)
Who can send a few pictures to illustrate it?

SO differs from ordinary flat flanges in that it has a reinforced step on the back side, just like the convex surface on the front side
