Steel Blind Flanges

Features of Blind Flanges

A steel flange blind flange is a type of fitting used to join pipes, valves, and other equipment in a piping system. It is a circular disk with a center hole that is used to connect two flanges together with bolts. It is usually made of steel, stainless steel, or other metal alloys and is designed to provide a leak-proof seal between two components. The blind flange has one flat face (the back side) and the other side is a raised face or a ring-type joint. It is commonly used in high-pressure applications, such as in power plants and oil refineries, as well as in many industrial plants. Blind flanges are also used in vacuum systems, where the raised face provides a greater airtight seal. Blind flanges are also used to terminate the ends of piping systems, to blank off the ends of existing pipelines, and to provide an air-tight seal for pressure testing.

Applications of Blind Flanges

Steel flange blind flanges are used to seal the ends of piping systems and pressure vessel openings. They are used to seal openings to prevent the flow of fluids, gases, or solids. Steel flange blind flanges are most commonly used in petrochemical, oil, gas, and water treatment applications. They are also used in the power industry for applications such as steam turbine and boiler systems. Steel flange blind flanges are used in pipe systems to form a tight seal between two pipes, valves, pumps, or other components. The flange is usually welded to one of the two pipes or other components so that the flange and the pipe or components are in intimate contact. This creates a strong connection that can withstand high pressure and temperature. Steel flange blind flanges are also used in the construction of heat exchangers, steam drums, and pressure vessels.
