REVISION 2
The title changed from “PURCHASE SPECIFICATION FOR MISCELLANEOUS PIPING

COMPONENTS – SPECTACLE BLINDS” to “PURCHASE SPECIFICATION FOR
MISCELLANEOUS PIPING COMPONENTS – SPECTACLE BLINDS, BLINDS AND SPACERS”.
This Specification was completely rewritten to:
• Incorporate relevant requirements of Synfuels Bulletin: Work instruction for the

Control of blinds used for isolation or pressure testing of equipment SGI-MOR-000010
/ SAX-10011023
• Reference other SASOL SP specifications to address requirements in stead of repeating

these requirements, such as purchase requirements, positive material identification and
heat treatment
• Add requirements of non standard blinds, spacers and spectacle blinds
• Remove all non-purchase, i.e. engineering requirements and incorporate them in a

different document
• Reference ASME B16.48 Line Blanks, as listed by ASME B31.3 2006
• Add relevant SASOL Standard Drawing (STDD) requirements to this specification and
withdraw relevant STDD’s
• Add blind-and-spacer combinations and list the size breaks between these and spectacle
blinds
