Product Inspection

We provide customers with Mill Test Certificates (MTC) for flanges to ensure every product meets international standards and client specifications. The MTC details chemical composition, mechanical properties, heat treatment conditions, dimensional tolerances, and relevant inspection results. By delivering comprehensive certification documentation, customers gain clear insight into flange materials and performance while receiving robust support for project quality management and third-party audits. This exemplifies our unwavering commitment to quality-first, transparent, and traceable service.

Different Face Types

 Similar to other flanges, blind flanges can have different face types to match the mating flange and gasket:

Raised Face (RF): The most common type, featuring a raised ring around the bore to concentrate sealing pressure.

Flat Face (FF): Has a flat sealing surface, typically used with flat face mating flanges, often in low-pressure applications or with fragile flanges.

Ring Joint (RTJ): Features a groove to accommodate a metal ring gasket, designed for high-pressure and high-temperature service. 

Characteristic of 304 Stainless Steel

304 stainless steel is one of the most widely used austenitic stainless steels. Its standard composition contains approximately 18% chromium (Cr) and 8% nickel (Ni), hence it is often referred to as “18-8” stainless steel. This material is highly favored for its outstanding comprehensive properties.

Superior Corrosion Resistance: The chromium in 304 stainless steel forms a dense oxide film on its surface, effectively resisting corrosion from air, water, weak acids, and weak alkalis. This makes it highly suitable for long-term use in general corrosive environments.

Excellent Workability: It possesses good plasticity, making it easy to process through stamping, bending, welding, and other methods. It can be readily formed into products of various shapes and specifications.

Strong Strength and Toughness: While not a high-strength steel, 304 stainless steel possesses sufficient yield strength and tensile strength to meet the demands of most engineering applications.

Hygienic and Non-Toxic: Its smooth surface facilitates easy cleaning and prevents chemical reactions with media, making it widely used in industries with stringent hygiene requirements, such as food processing and pharmaceuticals.

How to choose the material of blind flange?

Carbon steel: economical and practical, suitable for common working conditions (such as water and oil).

Stainless steel (304/316): strong corrosion resistance, suitable for chemical and marine environments.

Alloy steel: resistant to high temperature and high pressure, used in power and petrochemical industries.

Applications:

Oil & Gas pipelines

Chemical and Petrochemical plants

Food & Pharmaceutical industry

Water Treatment systems

Any industrial piping requiring temporary or permanent closure
