Measuring a DIN 2527 blind flange is important in ensuring a proper fit and preventing leaks in a pipeline. The process involves determining several key dimensions, including the diameter of the flange, the bolt circle diameter, the bolt hole diameter, the number of bolt holes, and the flange thickness. To measure the diameter, measure the distance across the circular face of the flange. The bolt circle diameter is the diameter of the circle on which the bolts are located. The bolt hole diameter is the size of the holes in the flange that the bolts will pass through, while the number of bolt holes determines the number of bolts required to secure the flange to the pipe. The flange thickness is the distance from the front face of the flange to the back face. It is important to confirm the material, such as stainless steel or carbon steel, to meet the application’s specific requirements.
