Safety boost for flanges
February 1st 2006

Flange protectors from James Walker Moorflex provide a versatile, easy-to-fit system that is designed to boost the safety, efficiency and life of process industry pipelines.

Units are designed to offering environmental benefits and simplify maintenance, reducing corrosion and allowing easier disassembly of joints.

Unprotected annular gaps around the outside diameter of flange joints allow the ingress of debris and moisture, which reduces sealing efficiency by degrading the gasket or ring joint and corroding the flange faces. Fitting flange protectors prevents this and the resultant hazardous potential, as well as costly maintenance and likely loss of production. The device is offered in a range to fit all sizes and ratings of flanges.
