SN Valve is a leading China figure-8 blank manufacturer. The Figure-8 Blank is a specially shaped piping accessory that resembles the cross-section of the number ‘8’. It is mainly used in piping systems, especially in the need to isolate or cut off the pipeline medium occasions. Through the installation of 8-word blind plate, you can achieve effective isolation of the pipeline, so as to facilitate the overhaul, maintenance or replacement of other accessories in the pipeline.
Spectacle blinds, alternatively known as spectacle flanges and figure-8 blinds, comprise two metal discs connected by a handle, resembling a pair of spectacles. While one disc is solid, the other features a hole or opening, enabling flow through the system when aligned with the pipe or vessel. We manufacture our figure-8 blinds from single machined metal pieces, eliminating the need for separate paddle blinds and spacers during pipe maintenance isolation.
Features and Advantages
Compact structure: the structure of figure-8 blank is reasonably designed, making its overall structure compact and easy to install.
Good sealing: the figure of 8 blind usually has excellent sealing performance, can effectively prevent the leakage of pipeline media.
Easy to operate: When isolating the pipeline, just install the figure of 8 blind plate on the pipeline and fasten it, easy and quick to operate.
SPECTACLE BLIND MANUFACTURING & USESpectacle
blinds are generally purchased from manufacturers of flanges but can be produced by steelworking centers as well.Spectacle blinds (also defined as "spectacle flanges" are produced starting from steel plates and are basically made oftwointerconnected discs: one is actually a ring (i.e. a disc with a hole ofthe same bore size as the pipeline, and the other is a solid discCarbon steel spectacle blinds are manufactured out of a single piece ofsteel, whereas alloy /stainless steel blinds are generallymanufactured by welding more than 1 piece together (commonly 2, but up to three).
Usage:
In normal conditions, spectacle blinds are installed in the open position and do not interrupt the flow of the fluid conveyed by thepipeline. The conveyed fluid flows through the pipeline when the spectacle blind is in the open position.
To blind the pipeline, and interrupt the flow, the site staff has simplyto unscrew the flange bots and rotate the spectacle blind to itsclosed position. As the disc is rotated, the flow is interrupted.
Application Scenario
Petrochemical industry: In petrochemical industry, the figure-8 blank is commonly used in oil refining device, chemical reactor and other equipment to achieve the isolation and cut off the pipeline medium.
Electric power industry: in the electric power industry, the figure 8 blind plate can be used in the piping system of boilers, steam turbines and other equipment to ensure the safe operation of the equipment.
Other fields: In addition, the figure of 8 blind plate is also widely used in piping systems in metallurgy, pharmaceutical, food processing and other fields.
