An Incoloy 800 / 800H / 800HT spectacle blind is a figure-8 plate with one solid end and one open ring, fitted between two flanges, made from Incoloy 800 / 800H / 800HT to ASTM 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.

Incoloy 800 / 800H / 800HT Spectacle Blind: Why 800 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 Incoloy 800 / 800H / 800HT, 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. Incoloy 800 / 800H / 800HT is picked for furnaces, petrochemical heaters and high-temperature piping. |
|---|---|
| Typical service | Petrochemical — Steam-methane reformer and ethylene furnace piping. |
| Bolting | B7 (coated), B8M or nickel-alloy studs such as Incoloy 800 / 800H / 800HT from ASTM B408, 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 | ERNiCr-3 (AWS A5.14) |

FOB / CIF · Nhava Sheva (JNPT), MumbaiIncoloy 800 / 800H / 800HT 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.
Can Incoloy 800 / 800H / 800HT 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 Incoloy 800 / 800H / 800HT spectacle blinds?
The material is ASTM 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 Incoloy 800 / 800H / 800HT 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.
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.
