Flange and Valve wrapping tape system

Flange and Valve wrapping tape system - Biggest Drawback

Flange and Valve wrapping by a tape system is a real bad idea.

Why?

1. This tape system needs a lot of preparation time.

2. Installation involves skilled labor from the manufacturer.

3. Once a Flange is sealed Maintenance cannot be done. - Biggest drawback.

4. Cannot be reused.

5. Too much work in form of removing the packing and tape -After a Flange leak

6. High cost associated in terms of preparation, supervision and material.

7. Installation for large number of flanges will take months.

Any solution that seals the flange and is not reusable is a failure. We need to understand that flanges joints are subject to failures :

1. Gasket failure - Mechanical deterioration with time, over tightening, temperature and

2. Fastening system failure - Bolting is subject to vibrations,stress and fatigue.

3. Alignment-Improper alignment of both faces of flange often leads to a Flange failure.

Solution

Flange spray safety shields are the best solution for Flange joints. Reasons that support the case:

1. Less than 60 seconds to install

2. Reusable

3. No special manpower or supervision required.

4. No preparation is required on the flanges

5. Easy to remove will take 30 seconds to remove.

6. PTFE / SS316/HDPE most common Flange Guards.

7. Transparent Flange shield available for valves

8. Very reasonable cost

INDANA Flange Guards are world renowned for its quality service and affordable flange spray shields.

What is the most commonly used material for nuts and bolts?

Be it construction or any other major industry the role of nuts and bolts and other types of fasteners are critical. Thus they determine the overall strength and structure of the largest structures. So in case you happen to have your business in the manufacturing or construction sector we are sure that you would be interested to know what the commonly used materials for nuts and bolts are. So let us understand the different types of materials used. The different types of fastener materials used Fasteners are made with a wide variety of of material s . These include everything from common steel to titanium, plastic and other exotic materials. Some of these materials are again separated into different grades. This is done to describe specific alloy mixtures, hardening as well as processes involved. Apart from this some nuts and bolts are available with a variety of coatings or platings. This is done to increase the resistance against corrosi...

Properties of HSFG Bolts

Bolts are extensively used as a fastener. They serve various purposes and there may be various types of bolts. We at Indiana Steel being in the steel business since long and are involved in the manufacture and supply of various kinds of fasteners includes bolts. Of the various types of bolts which are in use the HSFG bolts are widely used. These are on account of the properties they have. In this blog we will explain to you what they are and their properties and benefits of using them. HSFG bolts what they are? How they are made? High Strength Friction Grip Bolts are popularly known are HSFG bolts. They are made from bars of medium carbon steel. These bolts have great strength. Their high strength is built through the process of quenching and tempering. This process is also known as alloying steel. Steel washers of hard steel or carburized steel are provided to evenly distribute the clamping pressure on the bolted member and to prevent t...

Material Types For Flange Guard

Safety is one of the key requirements for many industries like chemicals and petrochemicals which require the transportation of hazardous chemicals. These can expose the working personnel and the equipment at the plant to considerable risks. Flange guards are safety shields which shield the working personnel and the surrounding equipment at such plants. This is why their use has been mandatory in the industries of today. However while installing flange guards at your plant you must ensure that they of high strength, easy to install, offer great efficiency and must be of the best material which suits your need. We at Indana Steel being one of the leaders in manufacture and supply of different types of flange guards list some of the types of materials which are used for the manufacture guards. Flange guards: the materials used Teflon You would usually find in the market flange guards which have a teflon coating. This helps the flange guards in i...
