4 Myths About Bolt Tensioning There’s a lot of information out there about bolt tensioning, and not all of it is accurate. We’d like to share some of the most common misconceptions we hear out in the field to help you decide whether bolt tensioning might be the right fit for your bolting needs. Spoiler
Flexitallic and INTEGRA Technologies introduce the world’s first Total Joint Integrity company. The bolted joint isn’t just “nuts and bolts.” There are over 120 variables per flange that can either help you perfect your seal or lead to joint failure, and you don’t just have one flange. You have hundreds in a unit and tens
Houston, TX January 9th, 2023 − INTEGRA Technologies has been acquired by Flexitallic, an industry expert in providing sealing products and engineering solutions globally. INTEGRA has long promoted the value of Total Joint Integrity and overall joint performance. Joint failure poses a threat to the environment as well as worker safety. It leads to loss
LeakSeek™ is a sensitive and versatile acoustic leak detection process that can detect leaks at low pressure throughout all phases of plant operation, from new construction to full service. Our trained and experienced technicians use highly sensitive acoustic devices to locate leaks in the presence of any compressed air or gas system. Technician using LeakSeek
Hydrostatic Testing: Overview, Functioning, and Benefits What is hydrostatic testing? Hydrostatic Testing is a pressure-based assessment method used to test the structural integrity of vessels that hold and/or transport fluid or gas. Hydrostatic Testing detects leaks in a variety of objects, including industrial piping systems, gas cylinders, plumbing, boilers, and storage tanks. How does Hydrostatic
What is LDAR? Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR) is the process by which oil and gas, chemical, and/or petrochemical equipment is monitored for the location and volume of unintended leaks. LDAR requires manufacturing organizations to account for volatile organic compounds (VOC) they emit into the atmosphere. These leaks must be reported on an annual or
Leak-Free Assemblies: Control the Process Part III In case you missed it, here are Part I and Part II of our Control the Process series. Many factors can cause your process to break down, reducing your ability to prevent leaks. Our experts have identified some more common factors that inhibit a well-controlled flange assembly process.
Leak-Free Assemblies: Control the Process Part II In case you missed it, here’s Part I of our Control the Process series. A variety of factors can inhibit our ability to create sufficient, uniform pressure that is sustained throughout the duration of plant operation. A proper flange seal process addresses each of these factors. FLANGE SEAL
Leak-Free Assemblies: Control the Process Part I Part I Leaks are preventable. Flanges are designed not to leak, and when sealed properly they live up to their design. And yet, leaks happen. When we’re lucky, they are small and emit harmless substances. When our luck runs out, leaks are catastrophic. So then how do we
