Frequently Asked Questions about Blind Flanges
Our comprehensive FAQ section addresses the most common questions about Blind Flanges, helping you make informed decisions. Whether you're curious about specifications, applications, or manufacturing standards, we've got you covered. Explore detailed answers to enhance your understanding and ensure you choose the right product for your needs.
Blind flanges come in various pressure ratings, including Classes 150, 300, 600, 900, 1500, and 2500. These ratings indicate the maximum pressure the flange can withstand. Always ensure you select the appropriate class based on your system's pressure requirements.
Blind flanges are manufactured according to standards such as ASTM A182M and ASME B16.5. For flanges over NPS24/DN 600, specifications like ASME B16.47, API 60S, or BS 3293 are applicable. These standards ensure quality and compatibility in various applications.
The standard sealing face for blind flanges is the Raised Face (RF). This design helps ensure a secure seal by concentrating pressure on a smaller area, improving the gasket's ability to prevent leaks.
Yes, blind flanges can be forged or cut and machined from plate. They are used to close off piping systems or vessel openings. Depending on the application, they adhere to different standards like AS2129 for plate flanges.
Blind flanges are unique as they lack a center bore, making them ideal for sealing off piping systems. In contrast, slip-on flanges are welded over pipes, and weld neck flanges are used for high-stress applications due to their butt-welded design.
Yes, blind flanges are suitable for high-pressure systems, provided they are selected with the appropriate pressure rating. Classes 900, 1500, and 2500 are specifically designed for high-pressure applications, ensuring safety and performance.
