The Flexitallic I-Flex Fire-Safe Flange Insulating Set (FS-HT) is
comprised of a fire safe insulating gasket, insulating sleeves,
insulating washers and metal backing washers.
The insulating gasket is constructed from a serrated metal core with
unique profile. The metal core is faced with Thermiculite®
725; a high performance, fire safe sealing material incorporating
Flexitallic’s proprietary vermiculite based sealing material. Correct
gasket location is ensured by the inclusion of a Thermiculite® 725
spacer ring positioned around the periphery of the serrated metal
core.

Service
Flexitallic I-Flex fire-safe flange insulation sets are specifically designed to effect a seal and maintain electrical isolation across a wide range of seating stresses and flange classes in elevated temperature service. They can be utilised in load compromised connections; such as damaged and/or lined flanges and also heavily bolted connections where significant gasket stresses may be generated. In addition the relatively high compression characteristics of the facing materials ensure both seal and isolation performance can be realised over a wide range of flange surface finishes. The use of Thermiculite® 725 as the sealing material pushes the performance of the fire-safe insulation set beyond the capability of traditional insulation sets based on phenolic resin or glass/epoxy sealing technology.
