Spectacle Blind Flange

Figure 8 Pipeline Isolation Flange | ASME B16.48 Standard | Quick Open & Shut Switch

Spectacle Blind Flange also named figure 8 blind flange, the spectacle blind flange integrates a solid blind disc and hollow spacer ring in one connected piece. Installed between pipe flanges, it can be rotated freely to fully block fluid flow or keep pipelines unobstructed, serving as the safest physical isolation device for regular maintenance and pipeline overhaul.

FAQs

What is a spectacle blind flange used for?

It is a professional pipeline isolation component (figure 8 blind flange), used to physically cut off pipeline flow for maintenance, far safer than valve-only shutoff.

What standard do your spectacle blinds adopt?

All spectacle blind flanges strictly follow ASME B16.48 standard.

What materials can you produce for spectacle blind flange?

We can produce carbon steel,stainless steel,duplex stainless steel,alloy steel and special steel for spectacle blind flanges.

Can spectacle blind flange replace valves for shut-off?

It is used for definitive safety isolation during overhaul, not daily flow regulation; valves are for regular switch control.

What size and pressure ranges can you supply?

Complete sizes DN15-DN600, pressure classes Class150 up to Class2500 for high-pressure industrial pipelines.
