The introduction about forged steel blind flange and plate cut blind flange
The blind flange have two shapes which are circular shape and plate shape.Many flange factories cut the steel plates to produce the blind flanges,it could reduce the cost and process in the flange production.
But the steel plate does not have a same quality with the steel forgings.The steel after forging,the material will have a desired geometry and specific properties.The mechanical properties of these steel forgings are often greatly improved than the steel plates.
In low pressure situation,the difference between blind flanges made from steel plate and forged steel are not much.In high pressure and shaking situation,it will have a big difference.So it is very important to make a suitable decision according to the pipeline design when the flanges purchaser choose a blind flange.
