USA Industries' EZ Purge Slip Blind offers operators a safe and modern alternative to the outdated line purging practices involving a slip blind and spacers, which poses safety risks and equipment damage. The EZ Purge slip blind creates a "standoff" area at the flange site for line purging. It seals evenly, preventing damage to flange gasket surfaces caused by wedges, tubing, or other metals used to create space.
A Purge Blind enhances safety and system integrity by:
- Isolating Pipeline Sections: Prevents leaks, spills, and contamination during maintenance.
- Facilitating Welding: Creates a controlled environment for high-quality welds using inert gases.
- Maintaining System Integrity: Allows inspections and repairs without disrupting operations.
- Ensuring Accurate Pressure Testing: Seals sections to prevent leaks and pressure loss.
- Regulatory Compliance: Supports adherence to safety and environmental standards.
