Raised Face Joint Blanks

Raised Face Joint Blanks

• ASME B16.48 says: The gasket seating surface finish and dimensions for raised face line blanks shall be in accordance with ASME B16.5. A raised face may be specified at the option of the purchaser.
• A Raised Face would add machining time and complexity so the price would be higher. Call this the Bugatti or Rolls Royce of the line blind world.
• Personally, I have seen that version once or twice somewhere. The version without Raised Face is the default and is used everywhere.
