ASME B16.5 Blind Stainless Steel Flange

YPCO Blind Flange

The blind flange depicted serves a function similar to that of a plug or cap. It is used to terminate the end of a piping system. The blind flange is basically a flange that does not have a hub or a bored center. Blind flanges have the face thickness of a flange, a matching face type, and similar bolting pattern. Blind flanges can also be used to seal a nozzle opening on a pressure vessel. Because it is bolted, the blind flange provides easy access to the interior of a vessel or pipe, unlike a cap that is welded.

YPCO specializes in manufacturing the best quality blind flange in varieties of specifications, grades, materials and sizes Our manufacturing range for plate flanges includes ANSI/ASME Blind Flanges, BS 10 Blind Flanges. DIN Blind Flanges. EN 1092-1 Blind Flange. and JIS Blind Flange

A Blind Flange is a flange which has no bore hole and consequently it is used to close the end of a piping system_ The Blind Flange is sometimes machined to accept a pipe of the nominal size to which reduction is being made The Blind Flange reduction can be either threaded or welded. A Blind Flange also allows easy access to a line once it has been sealed. A blind flange is a solid disk used to block off a pipeline or to create a stop. It is machined in the same manner as a regular flange with the mounting holes around the perimeter and the gasket sealing rings machined into the mating surface The diference is that a blind flange has no opening to allow fluid to pass through The blind flange can be inserted between two

open flanges and used to block off the flow of liquid through a pipeline. Without the blind flange it would be difficult to perform maintenance or repairs on a pipeline The flow would need to be shut off at the nearest valve, which could be miles away from the repair area Valves are also very expensive and are prone to sticking The blind flange is a much more cost efficient way of sealing a pipe
