Product Description

ANSI B16.5 FORGING FLANGE -- Class 1500 BLIND FLANGE

The blind flange is a specialized flange used to seal the ends of piping systems, preventing the flow of fluids and gases. Unlike flanges with a central bore, blind flanges are solid disks that create a secure closure, making them ideal for isolating sections of a system for maintenance or inspection.

Commonly found in industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, water treatment, and power generation, blind flanges can withstand high pressures and temperatures, ensuring system integrity. They are available in various materials, including carbon steel, stainless steel, and alloy steel, each chosen based on the application's environmental conditions.

Manufactured to meet industry standards like ANSI, ASME, and DIN, blind flanges ensure compatibility and safety. They can also be customized in size and pressure rating to fit specific project requirements. Overall, blind flanges are vital for maintaining the reliability and safety of piping systems.

Notes:
(1) For the inside diameter of pipes (corresponding to 'Bore' (B1) of Welding Neck Flanges, refer to page 60                                                                        
(2) Class 1500 flanges except Lap Joint will be furnished with a 0.25"(6.35mm)raised face, which is not included in Thickness'(t) and Length through Hub'(T1),(T2).
(3) For Slip-on, Threaded, Lap Joint, and Socket Welding Flanges, the hubs can be shaped vertically from base to top tapered within the limits of 7 degrees.
(4) Blind Flanges may be made with the same hub as that used for Slip-on Flanges or without a hub.                                                                        
(5) The gasket suface and backside(bearing surface for boltng)are made paralle within 1 degree. To accomplish parallelism, spot-facing is carried out according to MSS SP-9, without reducing thickness(t).                                                                        
(6) Dimensions of sizes  1/2" through  2-1/2" are the same as for Class 900 Flanges.                                                                        
(7) Depth of Socket (Y) is covered by ANSI B16.5 only in size through 1/2 inch, over 2-1/2 inch is at the manufacturers' option.

STANDARD FINISHES for Face of Flange (ANSI  B16.5)
STOCK FINISH:
The most widely used gasket finish.because practically is suitable for all ordinary service conditions. This is a continuous spiral groove. Flanges size 12" (304.8mm)and smaller are produced with a 1/16" round-nosed tool at a feed of 1/32" per revolution. For sizes 14" (355.6mm)and larger. the finish is made with a 1/8" round-nosed tool at a feed of 3/64" per revolution.
SPIRAL SERRATED OR PHONOGRAPHIC:
This finish is produced by using a 90°round-nosed tool.
CONCENTRIC SERRATED:
This finish is produced by using a 90°round-nosed tool.
SMOOTH  FINISH:
The cutting tool employed shall have an approximate 0.06"radius.
The resultant surface finish shall have a 125μ inch to 250μ inch(ANSI B16.5 para 6.4;4.1)
1. RAISED FACE AND LARGE MALE AND FEMALE
    A serrated-concentric or serrated-spiral finish with 34 to 64 grooves per inch is used.
    The cutting tool employed has an approximate 0.06 in.radius.The resultant surface finish shall have a 125μ inch(3.2m)to 500μ inch(12.5μm) approximate roughness.
2. TONGUE AND GROOVE AND SMALL MALE AND FEMALE
    The gasket contact surface does not exceed 125μ in. (3.2μm)roughness
3. RING JOINT
    The inside wall surface of the gasket groove does not exceed 63μin.(1.6μm)roughness,
4. BLIND
    Blind flanges need not be faced in the center if, when this center part is raised, its diameter is at least 1 in. smaller than the inside diameter of the corresponding pressure class fittings. When the center part is depressed, its diameter is not greater than the inside diameter of the corresponding pressure class fittings. Machining of the depressed center is not required.

The manufacturing process of forged flanges begins with the selection of high-quality steel, which is heated and shaped under high pressure in forging dies to enhance its strength and durability. After forging, the flanges are trimmed, heat-treated to relieve internal stresses, and precisely machined to meet the required dimensions. They undergo rigorous inspection and testing for quality assurance, followed by surface treatments for enhanced corrosion resistance. This process results in flanges that are strong, reliable, and suitable for demanding industrial environments.
