A Blind plate blocks the flow, in case where a module is removed
temporarily or continuously from a Base Body for a valve/filter or a
Base Body for a meter/controller. In the Blind plate version for the
valve/filter there is an O‐ring AS‐105 which can be removed when
you want to use the plate as a Flow plate.
In the blind controller/meter version is an expander,
witch is pressed into the plate and can not be removed.
In the flow version the expander is not present.
