What is a BLIND FLANGE and what about its specification and advantages.

What is a Blind Flange,what about its specification and its advantages.

A flange can be defined as a method that helps in connecting pipes, valves, etc., to form a full piping system. There are seven flange classes ranging: #150, #300,#400, #600, #900, #1500 #2500.

These pipe flanges are attached by inserting the pipe into the socket end and applying fillet weld around the top. This allows for a smooth bore and better flow of the fluid or gas inside of the pipe. The connection with the pipe is done with 1 fillet weld, at the outside of the flange. But before welding, a space must be created between flange or fitting and pipe.

Flange connection is to fix two pipes, pipe fittings or equipment on a flange first, and then Flange pads are added between the flange plates and fastened together with bolts to complete the connection

A182 F316‌ lap joint flange uses flanges, steel rings, etc. to put the flange on the pipe end, so that the flange can move on the pipe end. The steel ring or flange is used as a sealing surface, and the flange is used to press them tightly.

The equal cross is one kind of the pipe cross,  the equal cross means all the 4 ends of the cross are in same diameter.
The reducing cross also is called unequal pipe cross , it is the pipe cross which the four branch ends are not in the same diameters.

Slip on flange, also called SO flange. It’s a kind of flange slides over the pipe with internal design is slightly larger than the pipe. Since the inner diameter of the flange is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the pipe, the SO flange can be directly connected to equipment or pipe by fillet weld at the top and bottom of the flange. It is used to insert the pipe into the inner hole of the flange.

A flange is a category of gasket made to fix two sections of pipe together, or act as a removable plug at the end of a single pipe. All flanges are round disks with holes for bolts around the rim, but the commonalities end there. a projecting flat rim used for strengthening or attachment.

Flange connection is an important connection method in pipeline construction. A flange is a category of gasket made to fix two sections of pipe together, or act as a removable plug at the end of a single pipe.

These pipe flanges are attached by inserting the pipe into the socket end and applying fillet weld around the top. This allows for a smooth bore and better flow of the fluid or gas inside of the pipe. The connection with the pipe is done with 1 fillet weld, at the outside of the flange. But before welding, a space must be created between flange or fitting and pipe.

Slip on flange also named as SO flange. SO flanges slip over pipes and are designed to bit slightly bigger on the inside than the pipe. They connect to the pipe through a fillet weld at the flange top and bottom.

900LB slip on flange can slip on the pipes and welded with the pipes.Stainless steel flanges are popular because of the an-ti corrosive function.Stainless steel flange can used over 50 years.Flanges have many pressures:CL150, CL300, CL600, CL900, CL1500, CL2500.

Carbon Steel: ASTM A105 / A105N, ASTM A350 LF2/LF3, ASTM A694 F42 / 46 / 56 / 60 / 65, P235GH, P265GH, P280GH, P355GH
Alloy Steel: ASTM A182 F11 / 12 / 5 / 9 / 91 / 92
Stainless Steel: ASTM A182 F304/304L/304H, 316/316L, 321, 310S, 317,347,904L， 1.4404, 1.4437.
Duplex Stainless Steel: ASTM A182 F51, F53, F44

600LB SW flanges can socket with the flanges and then welded with the pipes.Large diameter flanges can be series A and series B.ASME B 16.47 A & B are standard for large diameter flanges.

ASME B16. 5 is limited to flanges and flanged fittings made from cast or forged materials, and blind flanges and certain reducing flanges made from cast, forged, or plate materials. Also included in this Standard are requirements and recommendations regarding flange bolting, flange gaskets, and flange joints.

These pipe flanges are attached by inserting the pipe into the socket end and applying fillet weld around the top. This allows for a smooth bore and better flow of the fluid or gas inside of the pipe. The connection with the pipe is done with 1 fillet weld, at the outside of the flange. But before welding, a space must be created between flange or fitting and pipe.

WN flange is a commonly used type of flanges,ASMT A150 forged flange is carbon steel flange according to American Standard.Flanges have many types:WN,SO,SW,THD,LAPJ,BL.

The slip-on flange is a simple and excellent alternative to a weld neck as it does not have a weld bevel, and therefore allows the pipe to be adjusted in length relative to its position of the flange. The bore of the slip on will give ample amount of space for the matching pipe.

A flange can be defined as a method that helps in connecting pipes, valves, etc., to form a full piping system. There are six flange classes ranging from #150 to #2500. Governed by B 16.5 standards, the ASME B16. 5 Class 300 Flange provides a pressure capacity of 300Lb.

All flanges are round disks with holes for bolts around the rim, but the commonalities end there. a projecting flat rim used for strengthening or attachment.

A swage nipple is something similar to that of a reducer but it is used to join the butt welded pipe with a socket welded or screwed pipe.Like the reducer,swage nipple is also available with two variations:concentric swage nipple and eccentric swage nipple.The swage nipple generally adopts the MSS SP-95 or the BS3799 Standard.

Class 150 F316 slip on flange is a common pipe connection element, mainly made of stainless steel material, through slip on and pipe or other flanges are connected. slip on flange is generally composed of flange plate, bolt hole and sealing surface.

What is a Socket Weld Flange,what abut its specification and advantages

Standards and application Referred for WN flange and application

Stainless steel flange, also called SS flange, it means the material of flange is stainless steel. Common material standards and Grades are ASTM A182 Grade F304/L and F316/L, with pressure ratings from Class 150, 300, 600 etc and to 2500.
