B16.48 Stamping of Paddle Blanks & Spacers
B16.48 Stamping of Paddle Blanks & Spacers
(OP)
ASME B16.48 Section 6.2 states that the markings shall be stamped on the tie-bar or handle. In cases where space is limited, the marking shall be on the outside edge of the blind portion of blanks.
In instances such as a 2" Class 150 blank, when the blank thickness and tie-bar/handle length are limited, where is the stamping located?

I spoke to a number of manufacturers asking what circumstances would they invoke to not mark the 2" 150# spectacles/blinds in accordance with the code;- invariably the answer was 'no circumstance' would prevent them from correctly marking, otherwise it would be below their standard.
Perhaps the manufacturer of your blank was ashamed of his deed and skipped the marking process for some extra saving on costs. Don't use it.
