Blind Thickness

This document provides the equation and variables to calculate the minimum required thickness, tm, of a blind flange based on parameters like inside diameter, material properties, design pressure and allowances. It then applies this equation to calculate the thickness of 0.3572 mm for a specific blind flange with an inside diameter of 327.2 mm, made of A515-70 material at a design pressure of 10210 kPa. Tables are also included listing material properties and thicknesses calculated for different pipe diameters and materials.
