Nickel 201 Spectacle Blinds are forged low-carbon commercially pure wrought nickel flanges made from UNS N02201 / W.Nr. 2.4068 material, typically supplied to ASTM B564 material requirements and ASME B16.5 dimensional standards in pressure classes 150# – 1500#. Ragnar Metals & Tubes manufactures and exports these flanges with RF / FF facing options, EN 10204 3.1/3.2 documentation, and third-party inspection on request.
Ragnar Metals & Tubes is a 201 Spectacle Blind Supplier and manufacturer of Nickel 201 (UNS N02201) spectacle blinds to ASTM B564 and applicable ASME flange dimensional standards, with common sizes and classes available from stock, subject to current inventory, for export and EPC orders.
A spectacle blind is a figure-8 shaped plate combining a solid blind disc and an open ring spacer, connected by a web, allowing a line to be switched between fully open and fully closed without removing the plate from the bolt circle. To change state, the line is depressurized, the bolts loosened, and the plate rotated so the open ring or the solid blind sits in the flow path — a faster, safer alternative to swapping loose blinds and spacers for planned isolation.
Nickel 201 is a low-carbon commercially pure wrought nickel (UNS N02201) known for the low carbon content prevents graphite-related embrittlement above roughly 315°C, making it the preferred nickel grade for high-temperature caustic service.
