Blind flange

What is a Blind flange?

A closure plate flange is basically installed at the end of a piping network to terminate its run. A Blind Flange comes without a hub or bored center, which means they look like a metallic disc. The Nickel Alloy Blind Flanges ensures that there is no flow through the pipe so that it can isolate a pipe, valve, or pressure vessel. Even Though the Ansi B16.5 Blind Flange has a simple design, it is quite expensive. They can also be used for sealing the nozzle opening on a pressure vessel.

How to test the MTC report before accepting the delivery of the blind flange?

• At the top, you will get information about the manufacturer who manufactured the material.
• The heat number or lot number is specified in the test. All the material properties including chemical properties, mechanical properties, etc., are linked with the heat number. These properties are known as the technical delivery conditions.
• The test report also contains the material specification and grade. While reading the reports, these should be matched with the minimum requirements given in material specification for technical and delivery conditions.
• The MTC should also comply with the delivery conditions, like manufacturing process, type of flange, etc.
• It also has a material dimension.
• The mechanical properties will be present in the MTC for each heat number.

Each client should read and understand the MTC report before accepting the delivery of the Tapped Blind Flange.

Available types of Blind flanges

ASME B16.5 Blind Flange manufacturing process and advantages

The Asme B16.5 Blind Flange manufacturing process would include processing the raw material and then forming them to the accurate shape. Once done, it can be casted, cut from a rolled plate material, or forged.

The primary advantage of Duplex Steel Blind Flanges is that it helps to terminate the flow on site when the valves might be located hundreds of miles away from the actual job site.
