Stainless Steel 316 Blind Flanges

A Blind Flange is a solid forging component, without a bore, used to seal the end of a piping system, a valve, or a pressure vessel opening. This function is vital for isolating sections of a pipeline for maintenance, pressure testing, or simply terminating a line. While ASTM A193 B8M specifies the bolting material, these flanges are manufactured to ASTM A182 Grade F316, utilizing the chemically equivalent Type 316 Stainless Steel. The forging process ensures a high degree of structural integrity necessary for pressure containment. The Molybdenum content provides outstanding resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, ensuring that the entire bolted joint, including the B8M stud bolts and mating gasket, maintains maximum durability and a leak-proof seal in highly corrosive environments like offshore platforms and chemical processing units. Zeron Fasteners offers these flanges across all common pressure classes (e.g., 150# to 2500#) and standards (ASME B16.5).
