AAP blind flange, 16"

This AAP blind flange is made from carbon steel to ANSI B16.5 Class 150. It is supplied in 18 sizes from 1/2" (15mm) to 24" (600mm).

A blind flange has no centre bore. It closes off the end of a pipe run, a valve port or a vessel nozzle, and can be unbolted when you need access for inspection, cleaning or pressure testing. Forged steel flanges are commonly specified in the oil, gas, petrochemical and mining sectors, where pressure, temperature and safety considerations are higher. They are hot forged and then machined. A105 forgings are not recommended for prolonged use above 427 °C.

Key specifications

Choosing the right option

Choose the blind flange that matches the standard, table or class and size of the flange it closes. Match the standard and table or class to the mating flange and compare the drilling dimensions, because flanges made to different standards are not interchangeable. Gaskets and bolting are not included.
