Sweco Fab, a subsidiary of Piping Technology & Products, recently completed the fabrication of a critical order of precision-engineered spectacle blinds:
We offer spectacle blinds in standard pressure classes (CL. 150, 300, 600, 900, 1500, 2500). Custom designs are also available, engineered to ASME B31.3 and based on your specific design pressure and temperature requirements.
Designed for rigorous process piping applications, these heavy-duty pipeline blinds provide a fail-safe mechanism for positive line isolation during maintenance and shutdown operations.
Spectacle blinds, also known as a figure, are essential safety devices used in piping systems where leakage past a valve could create hazardous conditions. Designed to provide positive line isolation during maintenance and shutdown operations, these heavy-duty components serve as a reliable, fail-safe barrier.
Each spectacle blind is fabricated to precise tolerances to ensure a proper seal between flanges. Whether positioned in the “open” configuration to allow flow or rotated to the “closed” position to block the line, the assembly provides clear visual confirmation of system status, enhancing operational safety and compliance.
As a specialized subsidiary of Piping Technology & Products, Sweco Fab delivers more than just standard metal fabrication. The Sweco team provides ASME-code-compliant, turnkey isolation solutions engineered for performance, reliability, and rapid delivery.
Sweco Fab provides a range of process piping components, such as spectacle blinds, line blinds, bleed rings, orifice plates, and strainers, in various alloys. Quick turnaround on both standard and custom components distinguishes Sweco Fab from commodity suppliers—ensuring clients meet the highest standards of containment, safety, and operational efficiency.
