Pipe flanges cut seal replacement downtime

JBJ Techniques product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team
Nov 27, 2006
Innovative pipe flanges are specifically aimed at the steel, oil, gas and food industries where ease of maintenance is particularly attractive.
JBJ Techniques now produces an innovative range of pipe flanges for fluid systems with pressures up to 450bar, flow rates up to 20kl/min and pipe sizes between 20 and 220mm outside diameter.
They are specifically aimed at the steel, oil, gas and food industries where ease of maintenance is particularly attractive.
Seal replacement downtime has been found to be reduced by more than 400%.
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 utilises a hand operated jacking system which enable pretensioning 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.
