A Blind flange is round plate which has all of the relevant boltholes but no center hole, and because of this feature this flange is used to close off the ends of a piping systems and pressure vessel openings. It also permits easy access to the interior of a line or vessel once it has been sealed and must be reopened.
Blind flanges are used to seal the end of piping systems or pressure vessel openings. They are commonly used for testing the flow of gas or liquid through a pipe or vessel. Blind flanges also allow for easy access to the pipe in case work must be done inside the line. They are oftentimes used for high pressure applications.
Blind flanges are commonly produced and stocked in several different materials. They are often called Blank Flanges. These flanges are used for capping off or terminating another flange.
Blind Flanges are commonly used in petrochemical, pipe engineering, public services & water works.
As the majority of flange connections allow for the passing through of air or fluid via an interior opening, blinds give the ends of pipe connections a well formed termination point or rerouting of the media in question towards another portion of the pipe assembly. Opt for a blind flange in these cases, as well as in instances when a pipe line requires a future modification such as the installation of a valve or fitting to reroute flow.
The majority of blind flanges are of basic constitution, require minimal machining compared to other flanges, and weigh more than most options given the lack of a bore.
