Tags: Pipe Flange Datasheets

Blind flanges, abbreviated as BF, are commonly used in any industries that utilize piping. They are available in all face types (RTJ, Raised and Flat Face) at all pressure ratings. A blind can be inserted between two flanges to block flow but this isn’t good practice in most piping. When trying to block flow temporarily in a pipe, the designer should use a spectacle blind instead.

 

Blind Flange Standards

ASME Standards

  • ASME B16.5 - Pipe Flanges and Flanged Fittings: NPS 1/2 through NPS 24 Metric/Inch Standard
  • ASME B16.47 - Large Diameter Steel Flanges: NPS 26 Through NPS 60 Metric/Inch Standard
    • Series A / MSS SP-44
      • For general use
      • Bolt circle diameter is larger than Series B
      • NOT interchangeable
    • Series B / API Std 605 (cancelled)
      • For compact use
      • Bolt circle diameter is smaller than Series A
      • NOT interchangeable
