Blind Flange for reliable pipe-to-pipe and pipe-to-equipment joints, available on MetalMitra in all standard face types and pressure classes to ANSI B16.5, with mill-certified traceability on every lot.

Blind Flanges are solid flanges used to close the end of a piping system, nozzle or pressure vessel opening. They are designed to provide a secure termination and can also facilitate access for inspection, maintenance and future system modifications.

Why engineers choose it

  • Pressure Containment — Designed for reliable closure and pressure isolation in piping systems.
  • Multiple Pressure Classes — Available from 150 LBS through 2500 LBS and selected DIN ratings.
  • Multiple Face Types — FF, RF and RTJ configurations available for different applications.
  • Wide Material Selection — Stainless steel, duplex, alloy steel, carbon steel and nickel alloys.
