An ASTM A335 P22 blind flange is a solid disc that closes the end of a pipe, valve or vessel nozzle, for use with ASTM A335 P22 pipe. ASTM A335 P22 itself is a pipe or plate specification, so the matching blind flange is made to ASTM A182 F22 — which is what we supply for P22 lines. 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

ASTM A335 P22 Blind Flange: Why P22 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 ASTM A335 P22, 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 | Carbon and low-alloy flanges carry most utility, hydrocarbon and high-temperature service. ASTM A335 P22 is picked for high-pressure steam and hydrogen service up to about 580 °C. |
|---|---|
| Typical service | Power plants — High-pressure steam lines. |
| B16.5 material group | 1.10 — Group 1.10 applies to A182 F22 Class 3. Chrome-moly welds usually need PWHT; the code sets thickness exemptions. |
| Bolting | ASTM A193 B7 studs with A194 2H nuts; B16 with Gr 4 or 7 nuts where the temperature calls for it |
| Welding to carbon steel | Matching carbon or low-alloy filler is used; joints to stainless need ER309L |
| Matching filler | ER90S-B3 / E9018-B3 |

ASTM A335 P22 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 ASTM A335 P22 blind flange have?
It depends on class and temperature. ASTM A335 P22 forgings are in ASME B16.5 material group 1.10; read your class column in that group's table at the design temperature.
Can ASTM A335 P22 blind flanges be welded to carbon steel?
Yes — matching carbon or low-alloy filler is used; joints to stainless need ER309L.
Which standard covers ASTM A335 P22 blind flanges?
The material is ASTM A182 F22; 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 ASTM A335 P22 blind flange?
The steel price, the size and pressure class, quantity, and the testing and documents required. Send your list and we quote the same working day.
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.
