Spectacle Blind & Spacer as per ASME B16.48

ASME B16.48 is a standard developed by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) that provides specifications for line blanks, or spectacle blinds, and spacers used in piping systems.
​
Spectacle Blind: A spectacle blind is a type of piping component that is used to temporarily or permanently block off a section of a pipeline. It consists of two metal discs that are joined together by a central bridge. 

Blind Spade: A blind spade is a piping component that is used to block off a section of a pipeline. Blind spades are typically used for temporary blockages or for isolating a section of the pipeline for maintenance or repair.

Spacer: A spacer is a piping component that is used to maintain a specific distance between two sections of a pipeline. Spacers are used to prevent damage to the pipeline caused by thermal expansion or contraction, and to allow for easy maintenance and repair of the pipeline.
