Leak Prevention Space Saving Blind flange ASMEB16.5 Class150
Leak Prevention Space Saving Blind flange ASMEB16.5 Class150
1.Product Description
A blind flange, also known as a blind flange, is essentially a solid disk with no center hole, designed to be bolted onto a pipe or vessel flange . Its primary function is to block off sections of a piping system. Unlike a pipe cap, a blind flange is secured with bolts, making it easy to install and remove for maintenance or system modification . There is also a special type called a spectacle blind flange (or figure-8 blind), which has a solid end for isolation and a ring end for flow, allowing for easy switching between operational and isolated states .
2.Key Product Parameters
The design and manufacturing of blind flanges are governed by various international standards to ensure safety and compatibility. Key parameters include:
| Parameter | Details & Examples |
|---|---|
| Pressure Ratings | Common ratings include PN 10 and PN 16 . Standards like GB/T 4450-2008 cover flanges for pressures up to 1.6 MPa . |
| Size Range | Available in a wide range of diameters, from as small as DN 15 up to large sizes like DN 2000 or even larger, with some suppliers offering up to 200 inches . |
| Materials | Made from various materials including carbon steel (e.g., Q235, ASTM A105), alloy steel, stainless steel (e.g., 304), and plastic . |
| Standards | Conforms to various national and international standards such as GB/T (China), DIN (Germany), ASME (USA), and industry-specific standards like SH/T for petrochemicals . |
| Temperature Range | Operating temperatures can vary; for example, spectacle blinds per DIN 86042 are used up to 120 °C , while others per GB/T 4450 can handle temperatures up to 300 °C . |
3.Product Applications
Blind flanges are critical for safety and maintenance in numerous industries:
-
Isolation for Maintenance: They provide a reliable, sealed barrier to temporarily isolate a section of a pipeline. This allows for safe inspection, cleaning, or repair of equipment like valves, pumps, and vessels without draining the entire system . Their robust sealing performance makes them a preferred isolation method .
-
Pipeline Termination: Used to permanently or temporarily seal the end of a piping system .
-
Wide Industry Use: They are versatile components found in:
-
Shipbuilding: Used in systems like fuel lines, ballast water, and ventilation .
-
Petrochemical & Oil Refining: Standards like SH/T3425-2011 govern their use in steel pipelines for this sector .
-
Power Generation: Isolate sections in boiler and steam systems to prevent leaks and ensure safety during upkeep .
-
Water Treatment & Public Utilities: Employed in municipal water supply and wastewater treatment plants to manage flow and facilitate equipment servicing .
-
Other Sectors: Also common in paper manufacturing, mining, pharmaceuticals, and food processing .
