ASME B16.5 Spectacle Blind Flange (SB)

American standard spectacle blind flange for flow isolation. ASME B16.5. NPS 1/2"-24", Class 150-2500.Permanently installed in the pipeline for safe isolation.

Spectacle Blind Flange (SB)

The ASME B16.5 Spectacle Blind Flange (SB) is a solid metal disc (blind) or spacer-r-spacer assembly installed between two flanges in a pipeline. The "spectacle" refers to the shape of the assembly which consists of a solid blind section (to block flow) and a spacer section (to allow flow) connected by a center bar. This design allows safe isolation of process sections without removing the flange assembly from the pipeline.

JIAJI FORGING manufactures Spectacle Blind flanges in austenitic stainless steel, duplex & super duplex stainless steel, and nickel alloys to ASME B16.5 standards.
