For quality products and superb service, industry puts its trust in Moortlex. Typical apy In order to ensure efficient operation of ‘cathodic protection systems for stainless, steel pipelines, itis necessary to divide the pipelines into manageable lengths. The installation of flange insulation sets at each flanged joint ensures effective sealing and isolation. “The transter of volatile fuids through pipetine systems may resuitin explosive conditions, which could be ignited by stray electrical ‘currents, either from cathodic protection systems or the phenomenon known as ‘eddy ‘currents’. Tis potentially disastrous situation ‘can be minimised or eliminated through the installation of appropriate flange insulation ‘ets at strategic points. ‘Contact between dissimilar metals wil result in accelerated corrosion of the weaker ‘material due to galvanic corrosion. This contact normally takes place between flanges, and can be eliminated by the installation of suitable flange insulation sets. Design concept & gasket styles Insulating Wa TYPE D SETS Utlising an oval section gasket ‘manufactured from a suitable insulating ‘material, Type D Sets fit into a standard AT flange ring groove. TYPE F SETS ‘These sets are suitable for raised face flanges, and use a central gasket which locates inside the bolt circle of the flange. Whilst not being as efficient as Type E sets, they have the advantage of allowing fiting without complete separation of the flange, ‘and may be regarded as “drop in” gaskets. (One Full Length Insulating Sleeve for each bolt ‘tee! Washers for each bolt for eact bolt TYPE E SETS This styl is suitable for raised face and fat flanges. The use ofa fll face gasket reduces the risk of electrical bridging and the ingress of foreign matter between the flanges. This style is available in both full face and inside bok circle versions and incorporates an elastomeric sealing ring in the gasket faces. Appropriate selection of insulating and sealing materials provides a versatile set with higher chemical and temperature resistance. Itis essential that such a flange insulation ‘set arrangement has the following design criteria applied to achieve the optimum results: + The electrical resistance properties of the components are balanced forthe purpose and location in the insulation system. + The components aré manufactured from Insulating materiats wth high compressive strength and good stability. Under no circumstances should materials which ‘express cold flow properties be used, 3s ‘relaxation may occur after bol tightening {s completed, Tis wil resuitin a reduction in the load applied to the gasket and leakage will take place. Flange insulation sets compris the flowing Components which ensure that full elecical isolation is achieved 1 -Gentral insulating gasket which is fited between the flanges. 1 «Insulating sleeve per flange bott. 2 -Insulating washers per flange bolt 2.-Metal backup washers per flange bot. Note: The efficiency of the components may be enhanced by over-wrapping the gap between the flange faces, with heavy duty insulating tape. Material selection How to order 1 Quantity 2.
