Blind Flanges Clause Samples

The 'Blind Flanges' clause defines the requirements and specifications for the use of blind flanges in a piping or mechanical system. It typically outlines the standards for materials, dimensions, pressure ratings, and installation procedures that must be followed when sealing the end of a pipe or vessel with a blind flange. For example, it may require that all blind flanges conform to specific industry standards such as ASME or ASTM, and detail inspection or testing protocols. The core function of this clause is to ensure that all blind flanges used in the project provide a safe, reliable seal, thereby preventing leaks and maintaining system integrity.

Blind Flanges. Blank flanges shall be provided at all ends left unattended for the temporary closure of work and also for commissioning a section of the pipeline or for testing after the pipeline has been laid.

For pipes subjected to pressure, blank flanges or domes suitably designed shall be provided. The thickness and drilling of the blank flanges shall be as defined in IS 7005-1 or BS 4504 Section 3.1.
