blind flanges
DIN 2527 Monel Blind Flanges are critical components used in piping systems to seal the open ends of pipes, vessels, or equipment when no further connection is needed. These blind flanges are made from Monel alloys, a group of nickel-copper-based alloys known for their exceptional corrosion resistance, especially in harsh marine and chemical environments. Monel flanges, manufactured to the DIN 2527 standard, ensure superior strength and reliability in demanding applications, making them ideal for industries such as chemical processing, marine, and power generation.
Material Composition of Monel Alloys:
Monel alloys are primarily composed of Nickel (Ni) and Copper (Cu), along with small amounts of other elements such as iron, manganese, and silicon. Two of the most commonly used Monel alloys in blind flange production are:
Monel 400:
Nickel (Ni): 63%
Copper (Cu): 28-34%
Iron (Fe): 2.5% max
Manganese (Mn): 2.0% max
Silicon (Si): 0.5% max
Carbon (C): ≤ 0.30%
Sulfur (S): ≤ 0.024%
Monel K-500:
Nickel (Ni): 63%
Copper (Cu): 28%
Aluminum (Al): 2.3-3.1%
Titanium (Ti): 0.35-0.85%
Iron (Fe): 2.5% max
Manganese (Mn): 1.0% max
Silicon (Si): 0.5% max
Carbon (C): ≤ 0.30%
Sulfur (S): ≤ 0.015%
Key Features of DIN 2527 Monel Blind Flanges:
Corrosion Resistance:
Monel alloys are highly resistant to a wide variety of corrosive agents, including seawater, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, and alkaline environments. Monel 400, in particular, is known for its excellent resistance to chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking, making it ideal for marine applications.
Monel K-500 offers enhanced strength and resistance to corrosion fatigue, commonly used in more challenging environments.
Temperature Resistance:
Monel 400 can withstand temperatures up to 1000°F (538°C) continuously and up to 1200°F (649°C) intermittently.
Monel K-500 offers high strength and resistance to oxidation and scaling in environments up to 1000°F (538°C).
Mechanical Strength:
Monel 400 is known for its strength and durability, especially in environments that require resistance to both high pressure and corrosion.
Monel K-500 exhibits additional strength due to the presence of aluminum and titanium, making it suitable for applications under higher stresses.
Dimensional Accuracy and Pressure Class:
DIN 2527 Monel Blind Flanges are manufactured to precise dimensions, ensuring a secure seal in the piping system.
These flanges are available in various pressure classes, such as PN6, PN10, PN16, and others, providing flexibility for different pressure ratings.
Design Options:
Standard Blind Flange (Type A): A solid, flat disc used to seal the end of a pipe or vessel.
Flat-Faced Blind Flange: Designed with a flat sealing surface, ideal for low-pressure systems.
Raised Face Blind Flange: Features a raised surface around the center to improve sealing in high-pressure systems.
Ring-Type Joint (RTJ) Blind Flange: Includes a groove for an RTJ gasket, used for high-pressure applications, often in the oil and gas industry.
Long Weld Neck Blind Flange: Features an extended neck for welding, offering additional strength and used in high-pressure or stressed systems.
Nominal Diameter:
DIN 2527 Monel Blind Flanges are available in a wide range of sizes, typically from DN10 (1/2 inch) up to DN600 (24 inches) or more, depending on system requirements.
