About Blind Flange
A blind flange is a type of flange that is designed to seal the end of a pipe, valve, or pressure vessel. It is a solid disk with bolt holes around the perimeter and no bore (hole) in the center.
-
Design:
- Solid Disk: Blind flanges are flat and round, resembling a disk, with no opening in the center.
- Bolt Holes: They have holes around the perimeter to accommodate bolts that secure the flange to the mating flange or vessel.
-
Functionality:
- Sealing: Blind flanges are used to close off the end of a pipe or vessel, effectively sealing it to prevent leakage.
- Isolation: They are employed to isolate sections of a pipeline or vessel during maintenance, repairs, or inspections.
About High Hub Blind Flange
A High Hub Blind Flange, also known simply as a High Hub Flange, is a specific type of blind flange that differs from standard blind flanges primarily in its design and dimensions.
-
Design:
- Extended Hub: Unlike standard blind flanges that typically have a flat face, a High Hub Blind Flange has an extended hub (also called a "high hub") at the center.
- Hub Diameter: The hub diameter of a High Hub Blind Flange is larger compared to a standard blind flange, which provides additional reinforcement and support around the bore (opening) of the flange.
-
Functionality:
- Sealing: Similar to standard blind flanges, the primary function of a High Hub Blind Flange is to seal the end of a pipe or vessel, preventing flow through the piping system.
- Pressure Rating: It is designed to withstand higher pressures compared to standard blind flanges due to its reinforced hub structure.
