JIS 10K Blind Flanges are essential components in piping systems, serving to seal the ends of inactive pipes or lines, keeping the system safe and protected from leaks. With their high pressure-resistant capabilities, reliability in a wide range of industrial applications, and ease of installation, JIS 10K blind flanges are widely used in the oil, gas, chemical, water treatment, and HVAC industries. Their advantage lies in their ability to provide an effective and safe closure solution for piping systems requiring maintenance or temporary isolation.
Characteristics and Construction of JIS 10K Blind Flange:
1. Solid Design:
JIS 10K blind flanges have no holes for fluid flow, so the center of the flange is solid, or sealed. This design makes them highly effective at resisting pressure within the pipe and ensuring no leaks at the connection point.
2. Material:
JIS 10K blind flanges are generally made of carbon steel, stainless steel, or alloy steel, depending on the type of fluid and operating conditions. These materials are selected for their resistance to high pressure, corrosion, and extreme temperatures.
Carbon steel is often used for general-purpose applications at a lower cost.
Stainless steel is used in more corrosive environments or when resistance to high temperatures is essential.
3. Shapes and Sizes:
JIS 10K blind flanges are available in a variety of sizes, from small to large, depending on the pipe diameter used. The size of this flange must match the size of the pipe to be covered to ensure a proper and airtight installation.
Standard Size: This blind flange has a standard diameter size that follows the JIS B2220 system and can be customized to suit the needs of the piping system.
4. Pressure Class:
10K indicates the pressure class, meaning the flange can handle operational pressures up to 10 kilograms per cm² (or approximately 1 MPa). This is important to ensure the flange can be used in piping systems that experience fluid pressures within that range.
This pressure class determines the flange thickness, material, and ability to withstand the load or pressure from within the pipe.
5. Surface Design and Mounting Type:
JIS 10K blind flanges typically have a face design such as a flat face (FF) or raised face (RF), depending on the type of connection required and the pipe standard used. Flanges with a raised face have a slight protrusion in the center to improve adhesion with gaskets, while flat faces are flatter and better suited for connections with flat surfaces.
These flanges are installed using bolts and gaskets to ensure a tight connection and no leaks at the connection point.
