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.
