PN16/8 Blind Flange 316L
When a piping system demands a reliable, permanent seal, the PN16/8 Blind Flange 316L delivers. Bolted securely into place with a gasket, it terminates the end of any pipe, valve, or pressure vessel, -creating a tight, leak-free closure rated to withstand up to 16 bar (approximately 232 psi) of pressure. Its 8 bolt configuration ensures even load distribution, giving a secure fit to be counted on in demanding applications.
The low carbon content prevents carbide precipitation during welding, preserving the material's structural integrity and making it significantly easier to work with on-site. Beyond weldability, 316L offers exceptional resistance to corrosion and heat,- making it a natural fit for environments exposed to harsh chemicals, seawater, and elevated temperatures.
Beyond sealing, the PN16/8 Blind Flange also supports pressure testing and can be removed when system inspection or maintenance is required, adding practical flexibility to its core function. Its versatility makes it a trusted choice across petrochemical and chemical processing, pharmaceutical and food & beverage production, water treatment facilities, and marine engineering.
