New Era Pipes and Fittings and Spectacle Flanges are a dependable line-blanking solution to pipelines that need to be isolated and reopened on a regular basis. These flanges are made of high-strength carbon steel, stainless steel, or alloy plates, and they are composed of two discs, one solid (blind) and one open (spacer) disc, joined together by a web or tie bar. By spinning the unit, operators may block or permit flow without dismounting the flange to the line, which is desirable in oil and gas, chemical plant, refinery, and water treatment facilities where physical confirmation of the condition in the line is essential.
In the case of industries that can purchase components using B2B services, spectacle flanges are offered in a large variety of sizes, classes of pressure, and designs that comply with the ASME B16.48 standards in order to fit the project requirements. One sub-product worth highlighting is the Blind Raised Face Flanges, which is applied where permanent isolation or hydro-testing is needed. Corrosion-resistant finishes, decorative handles to aid easy recognition, and full material traceability are only a few of the options that would make these flanges fit perfectly into the piping systems that already exist and help maintain them safely and efficiently.
