The main thing that separates us from other flange service companies is that we specialize in the prevention of leaks. Not just detecting leaks - not just repairing leaks - but preventing leaks from occurring at all.

Flanges are designed and intended to be leak-free. When flanges are properly specified, properly manufactured and properly installed they should be stronger and safer than the pipes they join. Flanges that leak are a symptom of process failure rather than product failure.

The FlangeTrak™ difference is that we specialize in the total flange servicing process, rather than just parts of it. To focus merely on detecting and repairing leaks overlooks underlying causes. Focus on prevention results in total joint integrity, which prevents the causes of leaks, as well as the resulting cost of repairs.

We have a uniquely specialized combination of expertise and technology that others simply do not possess. We have unparalleled experience in understanding the dynamic complexity of joint operating behavior. Our specialized tooling and methodology enables us to ensure the critical accuracy that is essential to controlling the total sealing process.

When it comes to finding, fixing and preventing leaks, FlangeTrak™ is unequalled.
Leaks are symptoms of a loss of clamping pressure on the sealing element under operating conditions. This can be caused by a single factor - or a combination of factors.

Quality control factors that can negatively affect joint integrity include:

• Variation or errors in bolt loadings during assembly procedures

• The flatness and/or texture of the flange face

• Bolt metallurgy

• The plasticity of the gasket material
