Blind Flange

Blind Flange

Blind flanges are solid steel pieces with no holes (inside diameter) designed primarily for capping pipelines. Since most flanged connections allow air or fluid to pass through an internal opening, louvers provide a well-formed termination point for the end of a pipe connection or to reroute the associated medium to another part of the pipe assembly. Blind flanges are selected in these cases, and when the pipeline requires future modifications (such as installing valves or fittings to reroute flow).
