API 6A flanges are ring type joint flanges that are made under the API 6A standards. R.C. Metal Corporation is a manufacturer and supplier of the API 6a Blind Flanges and other types. The 6A flanges have different specifications based on the pressure capacities. The blind flanges are used to close a pipeline. The API 6B Flanges have a pressure capacity of 2000psi and are of the lowest pressure capacity in this range of flanges. There are other grades such as the API 6bx flanges which has 2000psi pressure capacity as well but the design varies. The API 6A 10000 psi flanges is a high pressure rating flanges that is used in high pressure applications. The pressure capacities range from 2000psi through 20000psi.
The API 5l Grade B Flanges can be made up of high alloys due to their higher pressure capacities. They have the advantage of tolerating high torque of the bolts when tightened with bolts and nuts. The API 6bx weld neck flanges has a welded neck in addition to add to the strength of the connection. The flange is sometimes connected with a API Companion Flanges that supports the installation of the 6A flanges. The material used for the different types of the 6A flanges range highly.
The API 6bx blind flange can be made from stainless steel, hastelloy, monel, Inconel, incoloy, copper nickel, aluminum, bronze, duplex steel and many others. The API 6a 5000 flange is a medium ranged pressure capacity flange that can be used in medium range pressure applications. The applications range from petroleum, oil and gas industries to chemical, petrochemical and marine applications. The API 6a compact flange is a type that is suitable for pressure vessel grade applications as it can withstand high pressure operation. Please feel free to contact us for more information on the API 10k blind flange, other various types and a complete price list.
