Blind Flanges

BLIND FLANGES

Commonly referred as blanking flanges, Blind pipe flanges are widely used in high pressure applications. Blind flanges are generally used to seal the end of a piping system to prevent flow of liquids or gases. The use of blind flanges allows ease of access to a piping system once it has been closed. Our blind flanges are available with raised or RTJ faces and also with female threads. Blind flanges can be supplied with or without hub as per the customer requirements. We offer blind plate flanges manufactured at our facility to companies in various industries including shipbuilding, power generation, petrochemical plants, oil refineries, waste water treatment plants, paper mills, pharmaceutical plants and turnkey projects among others.

Manufacturing Process

How Our Stainless Steel Flanges Are Manufactured

01

Raw Material Selection

Certified stainless steel billets are selected according to ASTM, ASME, and EN standards.

02

Hot Forging

Billets are heated and forged into the required flange shape for maximum strength.

03

CNC Machining

Precision machining creates the bore, facing, bolt holes, and required dimensions.

04

Heat Treatment

Stress relieving and solution annealing are performed whenever required.

05

Inspection & Testing

PMI, dimensional inspection, hydrostatic testing, and NDT ensure product quality.

06

Surface Finishing

Flanges are cleaned, pickled, passivated, and finished as per customer requirements.

07

Marking

Each flange receives grade, size, heat number, and standard identification markings.

08

Packaging & Dispatch

Products are packed securely with flange protectors, wooden pallets, and export-ready crates.

Frequently Asked Questions About Blind Flanges

Under what circumstances is a Blind Flange subjected to the highest stress?

Unlike open flanges such as Slip-On or Weld Neck Flanges, a Blind Flange functions as a flat plate bolted across a pressurized pipe opening. It experiences substantial bending stresses near the center because the full force of the internal system pressure acts directly against its flat face, making it one of the most highly stressed flange types in a piping system.

What is the main function of a Blind Flange (BLRF)?

A Blind Flange is manufactured without a center bore and is used to safely seal the ends of piping systems, valves, or pressure vessel openings. It is commonly used for maintenance isolation, system testing, and future pipeline expansion while withstanding significant bending stresses.

Can Blind Flanges handle high-pressure applications?

Yes. Blind Flanges are highly robust and designed to withstand high internal pressure. We manufacture them up to ASME B16.5 Class 2500 and regularly supply them for demanding oil and gas, refinery, and petrochemical shutdown projects.
