Valve World: Flange Isolation Kit

Corrosion of flange connections is a phenomenon of great importance as it can lead to health and safety problems as well as economic losses and unwanted downtime. Engineer Francesca Torriani analyses and proposes strategies to prevent galvanic corrosion, one of the most frequent cases, in the article 'Flange isolation kits' published in the December edition of Valve World.

Case Study: Garlock ONE-UP Pump Diaphragm

AODD (Air Operated - Double Diaphragm) pumps are becoming more prevalent throughout the paint and coatings industry. They are considered “shear sensitive” pumps which means they can move the media without over agitating or separating it. AODD pumps can also move highly viscous and abrasive media.

Cleaning of components for oxygen service

Whilst oxygen is not flammable, it does support combustion of other materials. Essentially, the majority of substances are combustible in oxygen-rich environments. Therefore the cleanliness of gaskets, packings and other seals in contact with oxygen is essential so that they are not contaminated with substances that could cause ignition.

GYLON EPIX 3501 fogli e guarnizioni piane garlock

Case study: Petrolchemical Plant

Application of Garlock® Gylon Epix 3501 in a company maker of petrochemical feed-stocks used in the manufacture of plastics, rubber, fibers, solvents, detergents, fertilizers and paints. The customer was open to trying new gasket technology to get rid of leaks in old and uneven flange connections.

Case study: Chemical Plant

Application of Euroseal® Thermoseal Rings in a sulphuric acid production company. The characteristic materials and composition of Euroseal® Thermoseal rings ensure a high resistance to extremely elevate temperature and aggressive chemical media.

Euroseal Camprofile

Our production keeps working in full swing, in all our General Packing quarters. Our Euroseal Camprofile gaskets are ideal for chemical and petrolchemical factories and they can stand high temperature and pressure. This make our Camprofile gasket suitable for the most critical application, thanks to its compression resistance and thanks to the huge range of metals and sealing materials available.

Case study: Food industry

Application of Garlock PS-SEAL® in the production of machinery, mixers and food processors. The high effectiveness of the seal, and the FDA EN 1935/2004 certification, prompted the manufacturer to include Garlock PS-SEAL® in the project specifications.

Case study: Steel industry

In steel plants, extreme temperatures and oxidizing environments require highly performing materials. Euroseal® 2303 AOS is the best choice for applications with aggressive chemical agents, thanks to its exclusive composition in Euroseal® Thermoseal (phyllosilicates) and Inconel.

Case study: Distllation plant

Example of application of Garlock® Gylon Bio Pro and Bio Asept gaskets at a pharmaceutical company. After numerous experiments and studies, the customer experienced a useful life of the seals that was four times longer than the previous ones used, thanks to the use of Garlock® Gylon Bio Pro (Style 3504) and Garlock® Gylon Bio-Asept (Style 3504) seals.
