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.
As a professional spectacle blind flange manufacturer and reliable supplier, Pengrun provides various materials of spectacle blind flange. Complies with the ASME B16.48 standard and is suitable for piping systems across various pressure ratings..

FAQs
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.
All spectacle blind flanges strictly follow ASME B16.48 standard.
We can produce carbon steel,stainless steel,duplex stainless steel,alloy steel and special steel for spectacle blind flanges.
It is used for definitive safety isolation during overhaul, not daily flow regulation; valves are for regular switch control.
Complete sizes DN15-DN600, pressure classes Class150 up to Class2500 for high-pressure industrial pipelines.
