ASME B16.47 Series B Class 150 Blind Flanges are large-diameter forged closure flanges designed for industrial piping systems requiring reliable sealing, convenient isolation, and accurate dimensional control.

A Blind Flange has no central pipe opening and is mainly used to close pipeline ends or equipment connections. The bolted design allows it to be removed later for inspection, cleaning, pressure testing, maintenance, or future system modification.

These flanges are commonly used in oil and gas, petrochemical, and power generation industries. The reference page also notes that customized flange types and hole configurations can be supplied for specific technical requirements.
Product Description

ASME B16.47 Series B Class 150 Blind Flange Descriptions

ASME B16.47 Series B Class 150 Blind Flanges are manufactured for large-diameter piping systems according to ASME B16.47 Series B dimensional requirements.

Unlike Welding Neck Flanges, Blind Flanges have no pipe bore. Their solid circular construction completely closes the pipeline or equipment opening.

The flange is installed against a matching flange using bolts, nuts, and a suitable gasket. This creates a secure but removable closure, making it convenient for system isolation, inspection, maintenance, and pressure testing.

    Specifications

     


Blind Flange

A Blind Flange is a solid circular flange without a central pipe opening.

Its main purpose is to close the end of a pipeline or equipment connection and provide complete isolation.

Because the flange is bolted rather than permanently welded shut, it can be removed when access is required.

Typical functions include:

  • Pipeline closure
  • Equipment isolation
  • Pressure testing
  • Maintenance access
  • Pipeline cleaning
  • Future system expansion
