ASME B16.5 DN150 150# Blind Flange
Blind flanges are used to seal the end of piping systems or pressure vessel openings.
ASME B16.5 DN150 150# Blind Flange purpose of these is to block off a section of pipe or a nozzle on a vessel that is not used.. The purpose of these is to block off a section of pipe or a nozzle on a vessel that is not used. (A nozzle is typically a pipe coming out of a vessel and is usually flanged so it can be connected to valves or piping). Many times a nozzle will be blanked off with a blind flange for pressure tests in a plant, or simply because the customer does not need all the nozzles that were supplied on the tank.

Face:
Raised face, flat face, and ring joint (RTJ) face seals.
The first two are more common in basic sealing applications, with RTJ being the face of choice for higher pressure applications.
Applications:
Blind flanges are used to seal the end of piping systems or pressure vessel openings. They are commonly used for testing the flow of gas or liquid through a pipe or vessel, in addition to allowing for easy access to the pipe in case work must be done inside the line.
