What Is Ring Spacer/Spader Flange?
A
ring spacer, also known as a
spade flange, is a circular flange with a centrally located hole, used to isolate or close off sections of a piping system temporarily. It is inserted between two standard flanges, making it a versatile component for maintenance, repairs, and safety measures.
Ring spacers are chosen based on application-specific requirements, including pressure, temperature, and fluid compatibility, and are vital for maintaining piping system integrity.
