Dimension Considerations for Class 900 Female Ring-Joint Facing Figure-8 Blanks
The dimensions of these blanks vary depending on the Nominal Pipe Size (NPS) and the pressure class of the flanges being used. However, some typical considerations include:
- Bolt Circle Diameter (BCD): This will increase as the NPS size increases, ensuring the blank fits the bolt circle of the Class 900 flange.
- Number of Bolt Holes: Typically ranges from 4 to 12 holes, depending on the flange size, with each hole properly sized for the bolts to ensure a tight, secure fit.
- Blank Thickness: The thickness of the blank will vary depending on the pressure rating of the flange and the size of the blank, ensuring the material can withstand the expected pressure load.
Class 900 Female Ring-Joint Facing Figure-8 Blanks play a crucial role in providing secure and reliable sealing in high-pressure pipeline systems. The Figure-8 design ensures compatibility with Class 900 flanges, offering a leak-proof seal for pipeline isolation during maintenance, repairs, or emergency shutdowns.
Their high-pressure performance, durability, and cost-effectiveness make them a preferred choice for industries where safety, reliability, and efficiency are paramount. Whether you’re looking to isolate a pipeline section, prevent contamination, or protect flange faces, these Class 900 blanks offer a robust solution for your pipeline system needs.
