The ASME B16.48 spectacle blind flange is a unique flange designed to resemble a pair of spectacles and is used for opening and closing pipelines. Kaizen Steel Industries is a top manufacturer and supplier of Spacer & Blind flanges following the ASME B16.48 standard, available in various sizes. This standard includes flanges from ½ inch to 24 inches, with pressure classes ranging from 150 to 2500.
The ANSI B16.48 Spectacle Flange consists of a plate and a ring joint positioned parallel to each other. The plate can completely shut off the pipe, while the ring remains on the outer diameter, allowing fluids to flow freely. Spectacle Blind Flange is commonly used in systems that require frequent opening and closing of pipelines.
The Piping Spectacle Blind Flange is designed so that only one side is permanently connected to the pipes. It can rotate around this fixed point to position either the plate or ring over the pipe’s diameter. There are various types, including the Spectacle Blind Flange with a Raised Face, which provides a larger surface area for connection. Pressure ratings differ as well, with the PN16 Spectacle Blind Flange having a lower pressure capacity, and PN ratings ranging from PN6 to PN64. Because of its shape resembling the number 8, this flange is also known as the Spectacle Blind Flange Figure 8.
These flanges can be produced through forging, threading, or screwing and can come as flat face or raised face designs. They are available in different material grades, with the Spectacle Blind Flange Flat Face often made from 304 austenitic stainless steel due to its strength and affordability, though other materials are also used. The Spectacle Blind Flange Class 150 has one of the lowest pressure ratings.
