ASTM A182 F316 Forged Blind Flange, 150#, RF, B16.5

ASME B16.5 Class 150   

 RF Blind Flange

A blind flange, also known as a blank flange, is a type of flange that is used to close the end of a pipe or vessel. It is a solid disk with no opening or bore in the center. Blind flanges are typically used for the following purposes:

1. Closure: When a section of the pipeline needs to be closed off temporarily or permanently, a blind flange is installed at the end to seal it completely. This helps prevent flow through the pipe and ensures the integrity of the system.

2. Inspection and Testing: Blind flanges are often used during pressure testing, leak testing, or visual inspection of the piping system. They provide a solid barrier that allows for safe and controlled testing without any fluid leakage.

3. Future Expansion: In situations where additional sections of piping may be added in the future, a blind flange can be used as a temporary closure until the expansion occurs. It provides a convenient and secure way to close off the end of the pipe until it is ready for connection.

4. Aesthetics and Safety: Blind flanges can be used for aesthetic purposes in situations where the end of a pipe needs to be covered or concealed. They also provide a safety measure by capping off unused or open ends of pipes, eliminating the risk of accidental entry or injury.

The company has equipped facilities for manufacturing. Now it has five forging machines, one of which is forging machine whose capacity reaches 3600-ton, one is numerical control ring roll whose capacity reaches 6300 mm (Diameter), one is 1.5 ton hammers and the other two are 1-ton air hammers. There are 7 gas generators used for forge heating, 16 industrial resistance furnaces for heat treatment and more than 80 metal processing equipment among which there is a numeric control Standing Lathe whose processing diameter can reach 5meters. The company has an annual production capacity of 50,000 tons of middle and high-pressure flanges and various steel forgings for boilers and pressure vessels. The maximum pressure of manufactured flanges can reach 2500Lb, the maximum diameter can reach about 6 meters and the maximum weight of unit forging can reach 30 tons.

Wuxi Changrun uses plastic protective covers to protect the flange sealing surface, and then uses waterproof plywood boxes for packaging. Waterproof wooden box packaging is suitable for sea transportation.
