Q. Where is the spectacle blinds installed?

Answer

Spectacle blinds are installed in the space between two splayed horizontal pipes. Unlike a pipe flange, which is bolted in place all the way around the pipe, a blind is installed by threading a flange bolt through a hole in the blind's central tie bar. Gaskets are used to seal the gap between the flanges and the spectacle blind, making for a more secure connection. Because of this, it is crucial to incorporate spectacle-blind implementation into the piping operations throughout the design phase. Due to the increased distance between pipe flanges, longer stud bolts will be required to secure the pipes in place. Spectacle blinds give technicians and operators more options when making adjustments or doing routine tasks.
