ANSI / ASME B16.48 Spades & Ring Spacers
Manufacturer of ANSI B16.48 Paddle Spacer in Mumbai, India, Paddle Spacer ASME B16.48 Suppliers.

EN 1092-2 PN16 Piping Paddle Spacer Dimensions & MSS SP-44 B16.48 Paddle Spacer Price List, Paddle Spacer and Blind manufacturer in India.

Spades and Carbon Steel Paddle Spacer could be applied in those systems where maintenance is often not necessary. Or, these spades and Stainless Steel Paddle Blanks could also be used in applications with large pipe sizes.

The specification ASME B16.48 Spades & Ring Spacers Standard covers pressure-temperature ratings, materials, tolerances, marking, and testing for operational line blanks in the size range NPS 1/2 up until NPS 24 for installation between ASME B16.5 flanges in the following pressure classes- 150, 300, 600, 900, 1500, and 2500. This standard also covers the ASME B16.48 Spacer dimensions.

Spectacle Blinds, ASME B16.48 Spades & Ring Spacers must be made from either a plate or a forging specification. This specification has to be approved for use by ASME B31.3, which is essentially of the same chemical composition and material as the mating flanges and piping involved.

So as already described for the Spectacle Blind, maintenance in a piping system could be one reason to temporarily replace these SS Ring Spacers for a Spade. When all the bolts have been loosened, and half of the bolts have been temporarily removed, the Spade or the Alloy Steel Ring Spacers can be placed. After replacing the gaskets these bolts can then again be re-assembled and tightened. During the replacement of gaskets, we generally recommend using newer ones.

Frequently Asked Questions

Buttweld fittings are used to change the direction, branch, or reduce the size of pipelines by welding them directly to the pipe.

A 45-degree buttweld elbow is used to change the direction of flow in a pipeline by 45 degrees.

Short radius elbows have a tighter curve and are used where space is limited, while long radius elbows have a more gradual curve and are used to reduce pressure loss.

These terms refer to the schedule or thickness of the pipe, indicating the wall thickness at a specific diameter.

A buttweld reducer is a fitting that connects two pipes of different diameters, available in concentric and eccentric types.

Buttweld fittings typically adhere to ANSI B16.9, ANSI B16.28, and MSS-SP-43 standards.

A buttweld tee is a fitting used to branch a pipeline into two directions, available as equal tees or reducing tees.

A buttweld stub end is used in combination with a lap joint flange, allowing for easy disconnection of the pipes.

Common materials include stainless steel, alloy steel, duplex, nickel alloys, and carbon steel.

A buttweld pipe cap is used to close the end of a pipeline, sealing it off.
