Does the material of the blind plate affect its thickness?
Thread Content
The thickness tables for blind flanges found online do not seem to specify the material of the blind flanges. Hey everyone, is there a standard thickness for any material? For example, are stainless steel blind plates and carbon steel blind plates of the same thickness?
It definitely has an impact; the stress required by the material affects the calculation of the thickness. ,
For those that meet the standards and usage requirements, there is indeed only one thickness. There was no difference between stainless steel and carbon steel!
The thickness of the blind plate is calculated, and the allowable stress corresponding to the material of the blind plate is used in the calculation formula. As for information available online, many cases require experience in order to determine whether it can be applied; as designers, one should not readily adopt unverified claims, results, or data found on the internet. In short, the data available online is meant for our reference only; to determine the specific figures, it is necessary to do the calculations oneself, as that is the correct approach.

In addition to calculating stress, the thickness also depends on whether there is enough space at the installation site; for some designs that are older, only thin steel plates can be used
