Nickel 201 Blind Flange Manufacturer & Supplier

Nickel 201 Blind Flanges are forged low-carbon commercially pure wrought nickel flanges made from UNS N02201 / W.Nr. 2.4068 material, typically supplied to ASTM B564 material requirements and ASME B16.5 dimensional standards in pressure classes 150# – 2500#. Ragnar Metals & Tubes manufactures and exports these flanges with RF / FF / RTJ facing options, EN 10204 3.1/3.2 documentation, and third-party inspection on request.

Ragnar Metals & Tubes is a 201 Blind Flange Supplier and manufacturer of Nickel 201 (UNS N02201) blind flanges to ASTM B564 and applicable ASME flange dimensional standards, with common sizes and classes available from stock, subject to current inventory, for export and EPC orders.

Nickel 201 Blind Flange - Ragnar Metals & Tubes

A blind flange is a solid disc with no bore, bolted to a flanged pipe end, vessel opening or valve to seal off the line completely for testing, isolation or future connection. Because it carries no bore, a blind flange must resist the full internal pressure across its face without the reinforcing effect of a hub, so thickness increases with pressure class more steeply than for bored flange types.

Nickel 201 is a low-carbon commercially pure wrought nickel (UNS N02201) known for the low carbon content prevents graphite-related embrittlement above roughly 315°C, making it the preferred nickel grade for high-temperature caustic service.
