Hi Guys,
What's the advantage of lead filled blind flanges?.

Thanking you.

In the applications I'm familiar with, blind flanges are usually solid steel, cast iron, or ductile iron (CI and DI are in water works service).

Seems like I've read that lead will actually recrystalize and creep at room temperature- not what you'd want in a gasket, I wouldn't think?
