Stainless Steel Blind Flange

A blind flange is a type of pipe flange used to seal the end of a piping system, pressure vessel, or valve opening. Unlike standard flanges, it does not have a bore (center hole), making it ideal for isolating or terminating pipelines.

Key Features of Blind Flanges

1. Solid Design – No internal opening, providing a tight seal.
2. Pressure Containment – Withstands high pressure, preventing leaks.
3. Easy Installation & Removal – Used for maintenance, inspection, or future expansion.
4. Material Variety – Available in carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel, and other materials.
5. Standards Compliance – Manufactured to ASME/ANSI, API, DIN, EN, and other international standards.

Common Applications

✔ Pipeline Termination – Seals the end of a pipe system.
✔ Pressure Vessel & Boiler Access – Allows inspection or cleaning.
✔ Isolation During Maintenance – Blocks off sections for repair.
✔ Future Expansion – Temporarily seals unused connections.

Types of Blind Flanges

Standards & Specifications

• ASME B16.5 (Standard for pipe flanges up to 24″)
• ASME B16.47 (Large-diameter flanges)
• API 6A (For wellhead & Christmas tree equipment)
• EN 1092-1 (European standard)

Why Choose a Blind Flange?

✅ Safety – Prevents unwanted flow or pressure release.
✅ Versatility – Suitable for oil & gas, chemical, water, and industrial systems.
