A Hastelloy C22 spectacle blind is a figure-8 plate with one solid end and one open ring, fitted between two flanges, made from Hastelloy C22 to ASTM B462 / B564. A spectacle blind lets operators positively isolate a line: rotate the solid end into the line to block flow, or the ring end to allow it. Larger sizes use separate spacers and paddle blanks.

Hastelloy C22 Spectacle Blind: Why C22 for spectacle blinds
A spectacle blind lets operators positively isolate a line: rotate the solid end into the line to block flow, or the ring end to allow it. Larger sizes use separate spacers and paddle blanks. In Hastelloy C22, the choice usually comes down to the medium and temperature — the rows here are the points buyers check for this exact combination.
| Why this grade | Nickel-alloy flanges are used where acids, chlorides or heat defeat stainless. Hastelloy C22 is picked for mixed oxidising and reducing acids, and weld overlays. |
|---|---|
| Typical service | Chemical processing — Equipment seeing both oxidising and reducing conditions. |
| B16.5 material group | 3.8 |
| Bolting | B7 (coated), B8M or nickel-alloy studs such as Hastelloy C22 from ASTM B574, as the project specifies |
| Welding to carbon steel | A nickel-base filler such as ERNiCr-3 (or ERNiCrMo-3) is used when joining it to carbon steel |
| Matching filler | ERNiCrMo-10 (AWS A5.14) |
| Sour service | Listed in NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156-3 within its limits — state it on the order |

FOB / CIF · Nhava Sheva (JNPT), MumbaiHastelloy C22 Spectacle Blind — questions buyers ask
When should I use a spacer and paddle blank instead of a spectacle blind?
In large sizes a spectacle blind becomes too heavy and awkward, so ASME B16.48 provides separate paddle blanks and spacers.
What pressure rating does a Hastelloy C22 spectacle blind have?
It depends on class and temperature. Hastelloy C22 forgings are in ASME B16.5 material group 3.8; read your class column in that group's table at the design temperature.
Can Hastelloy C22 spectacle blinds be welded to carbon steel?
Yes — a nickel-base filler such as ERNiCr-3 (or ERNiCrMo-3) is used when joining it to carbon steel.
Which standard covers Hastelloy C22 spectacle blinds?
The material is ASTM B462 / B564; dimensions follow ASME B16.48. Always state both on your purchase order, with the edition if your project specifies one.
What decides the price of a Hastelloy C22 spectacle blind?
The alloy price, the size and pressure class, quantity, and the testing and documents required. Send your list and we quote the same working day.
Can you supply Hastelloy C22 spectacle blinds to NACE MR0175?
Yes. Hastelloy C22 is listed in NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156-3 within its limits; state NACE compliance on the order and it is confirmed on the certificate.
What documents do you supply?
EN 10204 3.1 mill certificates as standard, 3.2 with third-party inspection on request, plus dimensional and PMI reports.
