Sheared blank flange or sheared blind flange
Explanation:
When inspecting a tank, openings must be closed with blank or blind flanges. Sheared flange blanks can be used for inspection to reduce cost. Shearing a blank costs much less than the machining that would be used to produce flanges for normal continuous use.

I realize I used "blank" and "flange" interchangeably. They can be called a "blank flange", a "flange blank" or a "blind flange".
