Klinger UK would be displaying two of its latest new products the Klinger Sentry Gasket and the Klinger Gasket Insertion Tool at the ADIPEC exhibition in Abu Dhabi on 10 November.
The Klinger Sentry Gasket is available as a RTJ or Kammprofile type gasket. The gasket is specially engineered to enable leakage testing to be carried out on individual joints, which has a number of advantages over traditional leakage testing. It allows leakage testing on individual flanges joints with the need to pressurise the full system. It leak tests both the primary and secondary sides of the seal. This speeds up the leakage testing, reducing plant downtime and significantly reduces the volume of testing media required.
The Klinger Gasket Insertion Tool (KGIT) aids the safe and precise insertion of a Ring Type Joints (RTJ) between ring joint flanges. The KGIT is available to suit the insertion of RTJ Type R and Type BX. The KGIT aligns and positions the RTJ, removing the need to manually manoeuvre the RTJ into position, reducing the risk of injury to fingers. The KGIT offers improved Flange make up times and ensures correct alignment of the gasket, minimising ‘bruising’ and ‘pinching’ to the gasket. The engineered shape of the tool prevents the handle from rotating as to obstruct the bolt holes.
