Introduction to Blind Flanges

A blind flange is a critical component in piping systems, designed to block off a pipeline, valve, or pressure vessel opening. Unlike other flanges, it lacks a center hole, making it ideal for sealing fluid or gas flow. These solid disks are engineered for easy installation and removal, offering flexibility for frequent inspections or maintenance. Manufactured from materials like carbon steel, stainless steel, and alloy steel, blind flanges ensure robust performance in diverse industrial environments.

Product Features

Blind flanges are engineered to meet the demands of high-pressure and high-temperature applications. Their key features include:

• Material Variety: Available in carbon steel (ASTM A105, P235GH, P245GH, etc.), stainless steel (ASTM A182, 304, 306), and alloy steel, ensuring compatibility with corrosive or extreme environments.
• Pressure Ratings: Designed for PN6 to PN40 (Class150 to Class2500), accommodating low to high-pressure systems.
• Size Range: Spanning DN10 to DN2000 (½ inch to 24 inches), they cater to both small and large-scale industrial applications.
• Surface Coatings: Options include black paint, galvanization, grease, and epoxy paint to enhance corrosion resistance and durability.
• International Standards: Compliant with ASME, EN, JIS, DIN, BS, KS, GOST, SABS, and ATK standards, ensuring global interoperability.

Technical Specifications

Applications of Blind Flanges

Blind flanges are indispensable in industries requiring secure sealing and future accessibility. Key applications include:

• Oil & Gas: Sealing pipelines during maintenance or expansion, ensuring leak-proof connections in high-pressure environments.
• Petrochemical: Blocking valves or vessels for safety during chemical processing, where corrosion resistance is critical.
• Power Generation: Used in steam and water systems to allow maintenance without system downtime.
• Water Treatment: Providing access points for inspection and repair in municipal water networks.
• Shipbuilding: Securing piping systems in ships and offshore platforms, where durability under harsh conditions is essential.

Installation Guide

Proper installation ensures a secure and leak-proof seal. Follow these steps:

1. Preparation: Clean flange faces and gaskets to remove debris. Use a gasket compatible with the fluid and pressure (e.g., blind flange types).
2. Alignment: Align bolt holes of the blind flange and mating flange. Insert bolts and tighten them in a crisscross (star) pattern for even pressure distribution.
3. Torquing: Use a torque wrench to apply manufacturer-recommended torque, preventing warping and ensuring a tight seal.
4. Testing: Conduct pressure tests to verify the integrity of the connection before system operation.
