Blind Flange / BLRF Flange

Manufacturers of ASME/ANSI B16.5, B16.47 Blind Flange

A Blind Flange is a type of flange used to seal the end of a pipeline or vessel. Unlike other flanges, it has no opening in the center, effectively closing off the system. Blind flanges are often used for maintenance, inspection, or to block off unused openings in pipelines. They are available in various materials like carbon steel, stainless steel, and alloy steel and are commonly used in industries such as oil and gas, chemical, and water treatment. Blind flanges come in different pressure ratings and sizes to meet specific system requirements.

Blind Raised Face Flanges are primarily used to close the end of a pipe, valve, or vessel, effectively sealing the system. This is important for preventing leaks and ensuring system integrity during operation or maintenance. They help maintain the safety of the system by securely blocking off any unused or open connections, reducing the risk of contamination or pressure loss. Blind flanges are also used in systems where future expansion or additional connections may be required, allowing for easy modification or upgrades in the future.

Ample Alloys is a trusted manufacturer, supplier, and exporter of Blind Flanges, offering high-quality products that meet international standards. We ensures that its blind flanges are suitable for various industrial applications. Blind flanges from Ample Alloys are designed to provide reliable sealing for the ends of pipelines, vessels, and equipment, preventing leaks and maintaining system integrity.

Blind flanges are used to close the open ends of pipes, valves, or other equipment in piping systems, providing a safe and secure seal. They are essential for maintenance, inspections, or when a system is temporarily not in use.

Blind flanges are installed by bolting them onto the end of a pipeline or vessel using gaskets for a secure seal. They are typically used where future connections or modifications may be required.

Unlike regular flanges, which have a hole to connect pipes, blind flanges are solid and used to seal off ends or openings in piping systems.
