Home / Products / Flanges / Spectacle Blind Flanges
For reliable isolation and inspection capabilities in critical pipeline systems, Spectacle Blind Flanges from Fortis Forge are valued for their durable construction, easy operability, and superior sealing performance. These specialty flanges are engineered to meet stringent industry standards such as ASME B16.48, ASTM A105, and applicable DIN specifications, offering a practical solution for systems requiring frequent maintenance or flow diversion.
Manufactured using carbon steel or mild steel, our spectacle blind flanges are fabricated from a single metal plate and consist of two discs—one solid (blind) and one open (spacer)—connected by a small web or tie-bar. This design allows quick switching between open and closed states by simply rotating the flange without disassembling the pipeline. They are ideal for isolating piping sections during maintenance or shutdown operations in high-pressure environments.
With advanced cutting, precision machining, and dimensional accuracy, Fortis Forge Spectacle Blind Flanges ensure tight sealing, structural integrity, and long-term reliability in extreme operating conditions. Commonly used in oil & gas, petrochemical plants, offshore platforms, power generation, and refineries, they serve as a robust safety mechanism to block flow and protect downstream equipment.
Available in a wide range of sizes, pressure ratings (Class 150 to Class 1500), and face types (RF, FF), our Spectacle Blinds are customized for operational efficiency and code compliance. Whether used as a permanent block valve substitute or temporary inspection tool, Fortis Forge Spectacle Blind Flanges offer a secure, maintenance-friendly, and cost-effective solution to support piping safety and system control.
A Spectacle Blind Flange is a safety device used in piping systems to either allow flow or completely block it. It consists of two metal discs—one solid (blind) and one open (spacer)—connected by a web or tie bar. By rotating the flange assembly, operators can switch between open and closed states, ensuring safe maintenance or system isolation without removing piping sections.
Open Position (Spacer): Allows fluid/gas flow through the pipeline.
Closed Position (Blind): Blocks the flow entirely, ensuring safe inspection, maintenance, or system shutdown.
Spectacle blinds are especially useful where frequent isolation is required without dismantling pipe sections.
At Fortis Forge, our Spectacle Blind Flanges are manufactured from high-grade materials to ensure mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and long service life.
Carbon Steel (ASTM A105)
→ Excellent strength and durability. Ideal for high-pressure, high-temperature applications.

Spectacle Blind Flanges, also known as figure-8 blinds, are essential components for pipeline inspection, maintenance, and shutdown operations. They consist of two metal discs—one solid (blind) and one open (spacer)—connected by a web or tie bar, allowing the user to rotate between open and closed positions. These flanges are widely used in critical applications where absolute shutoff and safe isolation of pipeline sections are necessary.
Manufactured using high-grade carbon steel or mild steel (ASTM A105, IS 2062), our spectacle blinds are ideal for high-pressure and high-temperature environments, such as oil & gas, refineries, chemical processing plants, power stations, and offshore facilities. They are available in a range of sizes, pressure classes (150#, 300#, 600#, etc.), and face types (RF, FF) to suit diverse operational requirements.
Whether for permanent installation or temporary isolation, Fortis Forge’s Spectacle Blind Flanges provide unmatched safety, corrosion resistance, and long-term reliability—helping engineers maintain efficient and secure fluid control across critical piping systems.
