Blind Flanges (BLRF)

Blind Flanges BLRF

Blind Flanges — ASME B16.5 / B16.47

Savoy Piping Inc. supplies blind flanges (BLRF) to blank off pipe ends, vessel nozzles and valve stations. No bore — solid face with bolt holes — so the line can be isolated for hydrotest, maintenance or future tie-in.

What are Blind Flanges?

A blind flange is a solid disk used to close a flanged connection. It must carry the full pressure load across the face, so thickness and class selection are critical. Available in RF, FF and RTJ facings to match the mating flange.

Selection guidance

Match size, class and facing to the open flange. For temporary isolation see also spectacle blinds. Related: weld neck · flanges hub.

What to put on the PO

Include material grade / ASTM class, flange type and facing, size and pressure class, bore/schedule, quantity, destination, and documentation (EN 10204 3.1 / 3.2, PMI, NACE, TPI). Email sales@savoypipinginc.com.

Frequently asked questions

What are Blind Flanges (BLRF)?

Blind Flanges (BLRF) are forged pipe flanges used to join pipe, valves and equipment with bolts and a gasket. Facing, bore and pressure class must match the piping class.

Which standards apply?

Dimensional: ASME B16.5 (NPS 1/2–24) and ASME B16.47 Series A/B for larger OD; EN 1092-1 / DIN for metric projects. Material follows the ASTM forging spec that matches the pipe (A182, A105, A350, A694, B564, etc.).

When should I choose Blind Flanges?

Choose Blind Flanges when the piping class and installation method call for this connection style. Confirm facing (RF/FF/RTJ), class and bore/schedule on the purchase order.

What should be on the purchase order?

Material grade / ASTM class, flange type and facing, size and pressure class, bore/schedule, quantity, destination, and documentation (EN 10204 3.1 or 3.2, PMI, NACE, TPI if required). Email sales@savoypipinginc.com.

Blind flange vs spectacle blind?

A blind permanently (or semi-permanently) closes a flanged end. A spectacle blind is a figure-8 plate that can be rotated between open and closed positions for operational isolation.
