An Inconel 825 blind flange is a solid disc that closes the end of a pipe, valve or vessel nozzle, made from Inconel 825 to ASTM B564. Use a blind flange to terminate a line, close a nozzle for future connection, or allow pressure testing. It takes the full line pressure plus bolting load, so it is often the heaviest flange in a class.

When to Choose a Blind Flange
Use a blind flange to terminate a line, close a nozzle for future connection, or allow pressure testing. It takes the full line pressure plus bolting load, so it is often the heaviest flange in a class.
- No bore; thickness set by the pressure class
- Can be drilled and tapped for an instrument connection
- Often cut from plate in large sizes or special alloys

Inconel 825 Blind Flange: Why 825 for blind flanges
Use a blind flange to terminate a line, close a nozzle for future connection, or allow pressure testing. It takes the full line pressure plus bolting load, so it is often the heaviest flange in a class. In Inconel 825, the choice usually comes down to the medium and temperature — the rows here are the points buyers check for this exact combination.
| Why this grade | Nickel-alloy flanges are used where acids, chlorides or heat defeat stainless. Inconel 825 is picked for sulphuric and phosphoric acid service, chloride stress-corrosion cracking and sour gas. |
|---|---|
| Typical service | Sulphuric & phosphoric acid plants — Tank linings, agitators, heat-exchanger baffles in fertiliser and acid production. |
| B16.5 material group | 3.8 — B16.5 does not permit N08825 above 538 °C. |
| Bolting | B7 (coated), B8M or nickel-alloy studs such as Inconel 825 from ASTM B425, as the project specifies |
| Welding to carbon steel | A nickel-base filler such as ERNiCr-3 (or ERNiCrMo-3) is used when joining it to carbon steel |
| Matching filler | ERNiFeCr-1 (AWS A5.14) |
| Sour service | Listed in NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156-3 within its limits — state it on the order |

Inconel 825 Blind Flange — questions buyers ask
Can a blind flange be cut from plate?
For many sizes and classes, yes — especially in nickel alloys where forgings are expensive. The material then follows the plate standard and must be approved by the purchaser.
What pressure rating does a Inconel 825 blind flange have?
It depends on class and temperature. Inconel 825 forgings are in ASME B16.5 material group 3.8; read your class column in that group's table at the design temperature.
Can Inconel 825 blind flanges be welded to carbon steel?
Yes — a nickel-base filler such as ERNiCr-3 (or ERNiCrMo-3) is used when joining it to carbon steel.
Which standard covers Inconel 825 blind flanges?
The material is ASTM B564; dimensions follow ASME B16.5 · B16.47 · EN 1092-1. Always state both on your purchase order, with the edition if your project specifies one.
What decides the price of a Inconel 825 blind flange?
The alloy price, the size and pressure class, quantity, and the testing and documents required. Send your list and we quote the same working day.
Can you supply Inconel 825 blind flanges to NACE MR0175?
Yes. Inconel 825 is listed in NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156-3 within its limits; state NACE compliance on the order and it is confirmed on the certificate.
What documents do you supply?
EN 10204 3.1 mill certificates as standard, 3.2 with third-party inspection on request, plus dimensional and PMI reports.
