ASME B16.47 Series B Class 75 Blind Flanges are large-diameter forged closure flanges designed for industrial piping systems that require reliable sealing, dimensional accuracy, and easy isolation.

A blind flange has no central pipe opening and is mainly used to close the end of a pipeline or equipment connection. It can also provide isolation while allowing the system to be reopened later for inspection, cleaning, maintenance, or pressure testing.

These flanges are commonly used in oil and gas, petrochemical, and power generation applications. The reference page also notes that customized flange and bolt-hole configurations are available.
Product Description

ASME B16.47 Series B Class 75 Blind Flange Descriptions

ASME B16.47 Series B Class 75 Blind Flanges are manufactured for large-diameter piping systems according to ASME B16.47 Series B dimensional requirements.

A Blind Flange, also known as a blind plate, does not contain a main pipe opening. It is used to close pipeline ends or equipment connections such as valves and pumps.

The flange is fixed to a matching flange using bolts and nuts, forming a closed connection. Its removable construction also makes pipeline cleaning, debris removal, maintenance, and isolation more convenient.

Blind Flange

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

Its main purpose is to close or isolate piping systems and equipment connections. It is commonly used where a removable but secure closure is required.

The reference page describes Blind Flanges as suitable for blocking pipe ends, closing valves or pumps, removing debris from pipelines, and providing isolation in systems requiring complete shutoff.

Typical functions include:

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

Advantages of ASME B16.47 Series B Class 75 Blind Flange
