    This document contains a calculation to determine the minimum required thickness of blind flanges for various pipe sizes according to an ASME standard. It lists pipe sizes and their corresponding flange dimensions and calculates the minimum thickness using an equation that considers factors like design pressure, material properties and flange diameter. The thicknesses calculated range from 5mm to 46mm depending on the pipe size.
