View more6 FAQs about [Blind pipe for energy storage pipeline]
What type of blinds are used to block off pipelines?
This type of blind consists of a flat plate with bolt holes, and it is used to block off pipelines. Flat blinds are suitable for low-pressure applications and are usually made of carbon steel, stainless steel, or aluminium. They are simple to install and remove, making them ideal for situations that require frequent shut-offs.
How do pipe blinds work?
Also known as pipe blinds, these fluid blockers fit between two flanges to stop flow, so you can work downstream without draining the system. Paddle blinds slip between the flanges to temporarily block flow. Spectacle blinds install permanently and rotate around the bolt to either block or open flow. However, they add extra weight to your pipeline.
Do spectacle blinds interrupt pipeline flow?
In normal conditions, spectacle blinds are installed in the open position and do not interrupt the flow of the fluid conveyed by the pipeline. The conveyed fluid flows through the pipeline when the spectacle blind is in the open position.
What is a blind flange?
A blind flange is a solid disk-shaped flange used to block off a piping system or vessel opening. It is typically bolted to a pipe or valve flange and is used to stop the flow of fluid or gas. Blind flanges are commonly used in systems that require future expansion or maintenance, as they can be easily removed to allow access to the pipeline.
Why do oil and gas companies use Blind flanges?
The oil and gas industry uses plain blind flanges to secure pipeline ends during installation, maintenance, and decommissioning, ensuring safety and preventing leaks. Chemical processing plants and water treatment facilities use plain blind flanges to isolate pipeline sections, ensuring safe maintenance and preventing spills.
What is a line blind valve?
Line blind valves are versatile and can be utilised in a wide range of applications, including high temperature and cryogenic environments, where they ensure reliable isolation despite extreme conditions. They are essential in hydrogen pipelines, providing secure containment for this highly reactive gas.
