  • PRODUCT DETAIL
  • Material

Spade flange, and ring spacer are forged products used to blind pipelines (temporarily or permanently). These devices are cost-effective alternatives to isolation valves. Flange spades and ring spacers, as separate products, are used when the rotation of a spectacle blind would be difficult due to space constraints. ASME B16.48 covers the dimensions and specifications of these isolation devices.

Epower Metals has 3 warehouses in Wenzhou, Wuxi and Hebei. As one of the piping solution suppliers, Epower Metals has been committed to providing one-stop solutions for projects in the fields of oil and gas, water, renewable energy and infrastructure. With years’ consistent dedication and innovation, our reliable, cost-effective and environment-friendly solutions have won clients’ wide recognition.

China Spacer Ring, Spade Flange, Special Flange manufacturer Epower Metals supplies Spacer Ring Flanges, Spade Flanges, Special Flanges made in forged steel, Stainless Steel, alloy steel, etc.

General notes:
  • Dimensions are in millimeters unless otherwise indicated.
  • Spade Handles shall be solid with NO openings.
Further notes:
  • Ring Spacer Handles shall have a single through indicator hole located near the end of the handle. The hole diameter shall not be less than 12 mm.
  • Wt = Thickness of the handle should be 6 mm minimum, or equal to Thickness (t) if less than 6 mm.
  • Spades and Ring Spacers should be made from a plate or forging specification, approved for use by ASME B31.3, of essentially the same chemical composition as the mating flanges and piping involved.
  • Spades and Ring Spacers ASME B16.48 may be used for installation between ASME B16.5 flanges
  • Depending on a customer specification, some dimensions can be different from what on this page is defined.

ASME B16.48 SAID THAT SPADE HANDLES MAY HAVE NO OPENINGS.

  • For spades, which can be lift up by people that’s no problem, but for a spade that weighs hundreds of kilograms, a lifting ability is needed. So it is usual, that from a certain weight and size, a hole at the top of the handle is made to give a lifting possibly. Many companies have their own rules, about the implementation of a spade handle, so there are many different types and designs.

RAISED FACE JOINT BLANKS

  • ASME B16.48 says: The gasket seating surface finish and dimensions for raised face line blanks shall be in accordance with ASME B16.5. A raised face may be specified at the option of the purchaser.
  • A Raised Face would add machining time and complexity so the price would be higher. Call this the Bugatti or Rolls Royce of the line blind world.
  • Personally, I have seen that version once or twice somewhere. The version without Raised Face is the default and is used everywhere.
