Types and sizes of flange protection
With flanges and especially the gasket surfaces (face), it is very important to keep them free from damage and contamination during maintenance, transport, machining, blasting and coating. Flange protectors are available for the following flanges:
- ANSI – 3/8" to 36" in various pressure classes
- DIN – DN10 to DN800 in various pressure classes
- SAE – SAE 61 (3000 psi) and SAE 62 (6000 psi), ½"through 2"
For full flange protection, flange caps, self-locking flange protectors, discs and rubber adhesive plates are available. In addition, it is also possible to cover only the gasket surface - flat face or raised face. This can achieved with a self-clamping plastic flange protector or a self-adhesive rubber flange protector.
Tube protection
Protective caps and protective plugs are also available for pipes and tubes. The pipe plugs and caps are used to prevent internal contamination and intrusion by vermin.
Beschermkappen klemmen op de buis en zijn leverbaar voor buismaten tot en met Ø914,4mm, DN900, NPS 36”. Bovendien zijn een aantal maten geschikt voor buizen met opgesneden schroefdraad, waaronder metrisch en Withworth.
Pipe plugs clamp into the pipe by means of self-clamping fins and are available for pipe sizes up to Ø323mm, DN300, Ansi 12". The advantage of pipe plugs is that, unlike protective caps, they do not form an obstacle when stacking pipes and tubes.
