Custom Paddle and Spectacle Blinds

Mercer Gasket & Shim is a premier provider of custom paddle and spectacle blinds and spacers. Our multi-disciplined engineering team has a deep understanding of fluid flow dynamics and process piping systems, which enables them to generate and/or validate designs and guide you through the material selection process to ensure these isolation devices provide long term safety during pipeline inspection and maintenance.
ASTM certified materials
Constructed from a range of ASTM certified materials, we have the capacity to manufacture API 590 class paddle and spectacle blinds for a range of both small- and large-scale applications. Our computer controlled precision waterjet and laser cutting equipment gives us tight controls over process parameters to meet tight dimensional tolerances of ±.002”. We apply a rigorous set of test and inspection strategies to ensure the integrity of these critical components and guarantee there is no possibility of any flow or leakage during in-field use.
Our goal at Mercer
Is to set the standard of excellence for critical components in the industrial sealing market. We recognize the need for quality, speed, reliability, and flexibility in today’s competitive manufacturing environment. Our entire staff is dedicated to providing 100% customer satisfaction on every project engagement.
