Techniques
now produces and markets an innovative range of pipe flanges
for fluid systems. Designed for pressures up to 450 bar, flow
rates up to 20,000 l.p.m. and pipe sizes between 20 and 220 mm
outside diameter.
They are specifically aimed at the steel, oil, gas and food industries
where ease of maintenance features are economically particularly
attractive.
|
|
|
|
The
ease of maintenance feature involves the ability to remove the
seal, which is supported within a special retaining element,
and replace it without fully disconnecting or moving the mating
flange or runs of pipework as is typically the case with the
standard DIN and CETOP flanges found in heavy pipework systems.
|
| There
are no comparable products at the high flow end of the range.
The flange design has considerable commercial potential in areas
where the cost of downtime is very high, such as in offshore
industry. |
| |
|
|
The
flange can be supplied in any steels to suit the environment
including 080M15 (standard), stainless or exotic alloys.
|
| As
an alternative to tightening the flanges using traditional studs
and nuts they can be supplied with a bolt tensioning system that
utilizes a hand operated jacking system which enable pre-tensioning
of two or more studs at one time, thus alleviating the need for
large torque wrenches, spanners etc. which become a big problem
when space is at a premium. |
