line blind
Explanation:
According to our database (built for our MT application, using terminology supplied by DSM in this domain), steekschijf is a "line blind". This is an element of the same diameter as the line (i.e.pipe, leiding) inserted to blank off or blind the line (pipe) for maintenance or turnaround operations. The "steek" element relates to the fact that the device is inserted. Since your document is from Gasunie I'm fairly sure this is the right translation.

pitch circle


Explanation:
Now, these two terms could very well be synonymous to each other and to steekcirkel = pitch circle

On the other hand they could mean some physical object (disc / ring) by it, which then would be related to pitch circle anyway, IMO
