The Function of Blind Flange
Blind flange is also called flange cover and blind plate. It is a flange without holes in the middle for sealing the pipe plug. The function is the same as that of the welded head and the screw cap, except that the blind flange and the screw cap can be removed at any time, while the welded head can not. There are many types of sealing surface, such as plane, convex, concave and convex, tenon and groove, ring connection surface. The ASTM A182 F51 Blind Flange process is mainly divided into forging, casting, cutting and these three kinds. The casting flange has accurate shape and size, small workload and low cost, but it has casting defects (pore, crack, inclusion); the inner structure streamline of the casting is poor (if it is a cutting part, the streamline is worse); and the forged flange is generally lower than the cast flange in carbon content, less rust-prone, better streamline, denser structure and better mechanical properties than the cast flange; Flange cover can contact our Shengtian Company.
