A spectacle blindconsists of a blind and spacer. The blind is installed in between flanges tosecurely shutdown pipeline during leakage or maintenance. When a blind is notrequired, a spacer can be installed in between flanges to continue regularoperating conditions.
Ever wondered just how important it is to regularly walk through your plant to ensure proper functionality of all pipe supports in the piping system? Understanding the critical nature of properly functioning pipe supports and how they contribute to the overall system, one should thoroughly inspect each component for proper operation during different phases of the life of the unit.
Check out a recent article we published on the Importance of a Plant Walk Down. Learn what to check for and when to perform certain types of plant walk downs. Use these tools to avoid a failure or potentially catastrophic situation. See Full Article
