Spectacle Flange,Spectacle Blind Flange

It is generally a piece of metal that is cut to fit between two pipe flanges and usually sandwiched between two gaskets. a spectacle blind is often made from two metal discs that are attached to each other by a small section of steel. The shape is similar to a pair of glasses or "spectacles" - hence the name spectacle blind. One end of the blind will have an opening to allow flow through the pipe during operation and the other end is solid to block flow during maintenance. They are generally installed as a permanent device to separate process piping systems. 

Spectacle Flange,Spectacle Blind Flange

The whole idea of a spectacle blind is so that one can be absolutely sure that an item of equipment is properly and securely blanked off with no possibility of any flow or leakage through a valve during maintenance. The flow can be diverted to other items of equipment but not just bypassed around the blank as this would compromise the safety function of the spectacle blind. The flow has to valved off and pressure relieved prior to loosening flange bolts and swinging the blind.

These Flanges are available in the following range.

All dimensions are in millimeters unless otherwise indicated. 


General notes: 
• D = Hole size (where required) should be the same as the flange bolt hole. In practice, these dimensions have been rounded round off upwards. 
• T1 = Thickness Carbon Steel. 
• T2 = Thickness Stainless Steel. 
• W = Thickness of the web (or tie bar) should be 0.25 inch (6 mm) minimum, or equal to T1 and T2 if less than 0.25 inch (6 mm). 
• Spectacle Blinds should be made from a plate or forging specification, approved for use by ASME B31.3, of essentially the same chemical composition as the mating flanges 
   and piping involved.
• Depending on a customer specification, the dimensions can be different from what on this page is defined.
