The RIGFLEX™ FP Gasket enables integrity testing of newly
assembled and tightened flanged connections without requiring
complete system pressurisation.
Testing large-volume piping systems can have significant cost implications. Large volumes of Nitrogen gas are usually required, as well as a dedicated leak-testing team to manage the process. Waiting for piping systems to fill to a desired test pressure can also take a considerable length of time. RIGFLEX™ FP gaskets are designed for testing individual flanged connections, negating the requirement for complete system pressurisation. Post-test, the gasket remains in situ, enabling the connection to be continuously monitored or re-tested.
Significantly reduces testing time
Improved HSE by reducing the need for testing personal and volume of (potentially old) piping systems exposed to high test pressures
Considerable cost savings on test media, such as Nitrogen
Monitoring of potential leakage after installation allows for proactive maintenance
Continuous monitoring or spot testing of individual connection
Corriculite™ facings mitigate against flange-face corrosion
