Sheet thickness
The indicated thicknesses are theoretical thicknesses. However, Steekflens will always use the standard trade plate thicknesses. As a result, the thickness of the blindspades could end up being higher than the theoretical thicknesses.
When machining the flanges (e.g. gasket surfaces), Blindspades and Spectacle blinds can be delivered in 2 (welded) parts.
Welding complies with ASME B 16.48-2010 chapter 4.1
Steam cross and steam spade
Steam crosses and steam spades are important components within steam piping systems. They are used to safely distribute, shut off or isolate steam. Our steam crosses and steam plugs are available with fast delivery and are suitable for a wide range of installations.
What is a steamcross and a steam spade?
Steam crosses and steam spades are used for steam cleaning and venting of piping systems. Steam crosses ensure that the distance between the gasket faces remains equal. This results in an even load on the gasket surfaces, preventing damage.
Steam spades are spacers where a part of the flange has been removed. The advantage of this design is that steam can be released in a controlled manner, reducing the risk of personnel being exposed to the steam.

What is a steam cross or steam star handwheel?
A steam cross or steam star is a handwheel in a cross or star shape, fitted to valves in steam lines and other high-temperature applications.
What is the difference between a steam cross and a steam star?
The shape differs: a steam cross has four arms, a steam star has several. Both serve the same function, the choice often depends on the existing configuration on your installation or personal preference.
Which material is suitable for steam applications?
For high temperatures, cast iron or carbon steel is typically used, matched to the operating temperature and pressure of your steam system.
Do these fit any valve?
The dimension of the spindle connection determines whether a steam cross or steam star fits. Please provide the spindle diameter or valve type with your enquiry so we can supply the correct version.
