Hi sachin,

this is ALi


Skillet Blind is an individual component that is comparable to a pancake blind for an ANSI flange. The skillet blind is a pancake blind with a Taper-Lok seal ring integrated into the design. Skillet blinds are rated for hydro-test pressure and can be inserted into any Taper-Lok connection when blinding is required.

In Simple Skillet blinds are like Frying Pans shape, which becomes integral with flange after placement.
I have also attached the picture for further clarity.

A spectacle blind - also known as a figure-8 blind - is generally a piece of metal that is cut to fit between two pipe flanges and usually sandwiched between two gaskets. A spectacle blind is often made from two metal discs that are attached to each other by a small section of steel. The shape is similar to a pair of glasses or "spectacles" hence the name, spectacle blind. One end of the blind will have an opening to allow flow through the pipe during operation and the other end is solid to block flow during maintenance. They are generally installed as a permanent device to separate process piping systems.
