Stainless Steel Blind Flange ,ASME SA182 F316L (1.4404) , Raise Face , B16.5
Blind flanges are an important part of industrial piping and are used to terminate the end of a piping system.This type of flange, once sealed, allows for easy entry into the line. Sometimes it can be machined to accommodate a nominal size pipe, which can then be threaded or welded down. Blind flanges are available in a variety of sizes and materials.
They are made from high quality stainless steel 316L with a low carbon content and added molybdenum for increased corrosion resistance. These flanges offer exceptional strength and durability, making them ideal for use in harsh environments with high temperatures and corrosive substances.
The blind design of these flanges means they have no openings or holes; instead, they act as an end cap to seal the end of a pipe or vessel. This makes them suitable for piping systems that may require temporary or permanent closure.
Some key features of 316L Flange are highly resistant to atmospheric corrosion.316L Stainless Steel Flanges has good resistance to oxidation in intermittent service to 870°C and in continuous service to 925°C.
Installation of SS 316L Blind Flange
The installation of SS 316L blind flange is a simple process that can be done quickly and easily. The flange is placed at the end of the pipe and secured with bolts. Care should be taken when tightening the bolts as over tightening can cause damage to the flange. The correct torque value must be used when tightening the bolts. Qualified professionals should install SS 316L blind flanges for optimal performance and ety.
