Blind flanges have to withstand remarkable mechanical stress due to the system pressure and the required bolting forces. Blind flanges allow easy access to the pipeline, as they can be easily unbolted to let the operator execute activities inside the terminal end of the pipe (this is also the reason why the blind flange type is used as a manhole for pressure vessels, at times).
It is maybe interesting to observe that, while this flanges type is easier to manufacture, they are sold at a premium average cost per kilogram compared to the other flange types.

About Socket Weld Flange :-
A Socket Weld Flange is a type of flange commonly used in small-diameter piping systems, particularly those involving high-pressure applications. The design of a socket weld flange is characterized by a pipe that is inserted into a recessed, or “socket,” portion of the flange, with the pipe end resting inside the flange. This creates a smooth, continuous surface once welded, which minimizes turbulence and pressure loss within the system.
The primary feature of a Socket Weld Flange is the socket into which the pipe is inserted. Once the pipe is fitted into the flange, a fillet weld is applied around the circumference of the flange joint, securing the pipe and flange together. This weld ensures a strong, leak-proof connection, providing high resistance to pressure and preventing the pipe from shifting during operation. The welding process is ideal for systems where a solid, secure joint is critical and space is limited, making socket weld flanges especially suitable for high-pressure steam, hydraulic, and other critical fluid systems.
Socket weld flanges are typically used in piping systems with smaller pipe sizes (usually up to 2 inches in diameter), though they can also be used for larger systems depending on the specific requirements. They are commonly made from materials such as carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel, and other materials suitable for the operating conditions of the system.
One of the main advantages of socket weld flanges is their ability to provide a clean and smooth internal bore, which reduces the potential for flow disruptions and wear over time. However, one downside is the requirement for precise alignment during installation, as improper alignment can result in stress points that may lead to leaks or failures.
Socket weld flanges are commonly used in industries such as chemical processing, oil and gas, power generation, and steam systems, where high-strength, leak-proof connections are essential for safety and performance. They adhere to industry standards such as ASME B16.5 and ANSI B16.11, ensuring they are fit for use in critical applications.
