A flange is an external or internal ridge, or rim used for giving additional strength, stiffness or a supporting area to objects attached to it. Flanges can also be defined as a ring or a collar, usually provided with holes for bolts and screwed or welded over the ends of a tube or a pipe to permit other objects to be attached to it.

The blind flange is a common and a popular product in the category of flanges. A blind flange-like other flanges is used to close ends of piping systems. Blind pipe flanges are pipe flanges used to tape the end of a piping system openings to prevent flow. Blind pipe flanges are commonly used for pressure testing of the pressure flow of liquids or gases through a pipe or vessel.

Blind Flange can also be called BLRF FLANGE, BLIND FLANGE R F, BLANK FLANGE, B16.5, ASTM A105, BLFF FLANGE, for better reference.

Blind flanges areas in the custom individually wrapped by hand to ensure that finest quality of the material is maintained and no damage in the last stage of production. Blind flanges come with heat number tractability and brand marking for proper identification of all products.

• Stainless steel
• Aluminum
• Silicone
• Cast Iron
• Titanium
• Bronze
• Brass
• Nickel alloy
• PVC etc.
• Polypropylene
• Nickel alloy
• Carbon steel

The manufacturing process includes six major steps namely:

• Cutting
• Open and Closed Die Forging
• Heat Treatment
• Conventional and CNC Machining
• Inspection and Quality Check
• Packing and Dispatch

Steam hammer technology is used for our manufacture of forging products. It is based on open die forgings and drops hammer closed die forgings. Visual and dimensional checking of raw material are done when after steel is received from the manufacturer. The stocks of SS and CS material are kept separately for fast access and simple distinction. The colour coding scheme to every unit of raw material is applied as per the colour code. The colour coding scheme assists to footmark the material during the manufacturing process. The criterion test certificate which is received from suppliers for raw material is studied. Then, physical and chemical testing of each material is done. The various types of raw material are given lot no. and details such as the source of supply heat number, supplier’s certificate number, or a lot number of the company are decided. Internal Granule Corrosion testing and ultrasonic testing is done. Cutting and marking the materials are stamped with lot number for identity proof. The manufacturing division raises appropriation test for material the company want to use in their process. The material is issued symbolizing the lot number. The required material’s length and weight are verified. The raw materials, which are in shape of long rods of different diameters, are chopped with the use of huge saw cutting machines. A QC and inspection test is done to overview the flanges. Lastly, the flanges are assorted and packed for dispatch.

• Natural gas companies
• Chemical industries
• Petroleum
• Ship building
• Paper making
• Marine projects
• Metallurgy
• Electric power boiler etc.

• Blind flanges are supplied with NTO fittings which allow pressure test connections to be fitted.
• They are used to blank off the ends of valves, pressure vessel openings and ends of pipes.
• Considering factors like internal pressure and bolt cramping, especially in the larger sizes are the most highly stresses of all types of flanges.
• They are made to fit standard pipes in all sizes

All products are given brand marking and heat number traceability and marked with Grade, lot no. , size, degree, and our firm’s trade mark for identification purpose. Products are also packaged to ensure that there is no damage during transit. Standard export packaging is done in wooden cases in case of exports. We also make customised orders as per our client’s requests.

At Instinox, all fittings and flanges are subject to strict inspection and quality checks at all stages of the manufacturing process, from starting material purchasing to product dispatch. They are visually examined for conformity to ASTM, ASME, MSS, DIN, EN, and JIS codes and standards. At Our requests, official certified agencies are called to witness the material reports, dimension and quality conformity of products.

Test Certificates are given to the manufacturer after third party inspection under the standards: EN 10204/3.1B, Raw materials Certificate, 100% Radiology Test report Test Certificate.
