ASME B16.5 Titanium Blind Flange

Product Introduction

A blind flange closes an opening and is often kept as an isolation boundary, so it has to hold pressure and keep a sealing face that will not be damaged when the joint is broken and remade. This page covers ASME B16.5 titanium blinds machined with controlled thickness and a precision facing.

Applications and Titanium Advantages

The blinds close pressure vessel pipe connections and isolate the ends of high-pressure lines during maintenance and pressure testing. Centre deformation under pressure and a scored or damaged sealing face are the two failure modes that cause leakage, so that the material documents for facing type, thickness and finish need to be confirmed against the joint design.

• ASME B16.5 dimensions make the blind interchangeable with the flange it is bolted to.
• Thickness and sealing face are machined accurately to support the rated pressure and a reliable gasket seal.
• Titanium construction suits aggressive media where a steel blind would corrode at the sealing face.

Quality and Purchasing Information

Confirm the material grade, nominal size, pressure class, facing type, thickness, bolt-hole pattern, surface finish and quantity. Tibars reviews the blind against the ASME B16.5 requirement and the joint it will close and confirms the facing details in the offer before machining.

• Confirm the required standard, dimensions, tolerances, quantity and delivery condition for this ASME B16.5 titanium blind flange before the quotation is issued.
• Request the applicable material certificate, inspection records and drawing review so that the material documents for this ASME B16.5 titanium blind flange match the project specification.
• For non-standard sizes or engineered versions of this ASME B16.5 titanium blind flange, send a drawing and the service conditions so the supply scope can be reviewed.
