Blind Flanges

Product name: Blind Flange

Blind flange is a round plate with bolt holes but no center hole. A blind flange is used to close pipe system, also permits easy access to a line or vessel once it has been sealed and must be reopened. Industrial blind flanges are usually made of forged material for better physical performance. SGV offer forged carbon steel,alloy, stainless steel blind flanges.

Design and feature

A blind flange is installed into a pipeline when a repair is required further up the line. So the flange can be disconnected without fear of loosing medium of down stream. Often this type of blockade is used when a temporary blockade is needed, so we can adding another line or a new valve onto an existing pipeline. This is also used for shut down line permanently. 

Since the maximum stresses in a blind flange are bending stresses at the center, they can safely be allowed to be higher than in other types of flanges.
Considering factors like internal pressure and bolt loading, blind flanges, especially for large sizes, are the most highly stressed of all types of flanges.
Blind flanges are sometimes supplied with NPT fittings which allow pressure test connections to be fitted.
They are used to blank off the ends of pipe.
They are also used to blank off the ends of valves and pressure vessel opening.
