ANSI / ASME B16.5 Class 900 Blind Flange Dimensions

The ANSI/ASME B16.5 Class 900 Blind Flange is a type of blind flange that complies with the ANSI/ASME B16.5 standard and is suitable for Class 900 pressure ratings. 

ANSI / ASME B16.5 Class 900 Blind Flange

Applications of Class 900 Blind Flanges

Class 900 Blind Flanges are commonly used in:

  • High-pressure piping systems in industries such as oil and gas, chemical, and petrochemical.
  • Closing off pipelines during testing or maintenance.
  • Applications requiring isolation for inspection or repair.
  • Pressure vessels and storage tanks to block openings.

Commonly Used for Class 900 Blind Flanges

  • Carbon Steel (ASTM A105, ASTM A350 LF2)
  • Stainless Steel (ASTM A182 F304/F316)
  • Nickel Alloys (Inconel, Hastelloy)
  • Duplex and Super Duplex Stainless Steels

An ANSI / ASME B16.5 Class 900 Blind Flange is a high-pressure rated flange (Class 900) with no center opening, designed to seal off or block the end of a piping system, valve, or vessel. It conforms to the ANSI / ASME B16.5 standard, which governs pipe flanges and flange fittings for pressure and temperature ratings.

FAQ

  • Class 900 indicates that the flange can withstand a maximum pressure of 900 psi at a reference temperature, usually around 100°F. The pressure capacity decreases at higher temperatures, so it’s crucial to refer to ASME tables for temperature-pressure ratings.
  • A blind flange lacks a bore and is used to block the flow in a piping system, while other types of flanges like slip-on, weld neck, and socket weld flanges have openings that allow fluid to pass through.
