Introduction: With the economic
and environmental climate of today it is more
important than ever to prevent leakage in
your carrier system. Flanges, the most
common trouble area, need to be sealed
properly to prevent this leakage and must also
be cathodically insulated to prevent stray
currents which cause undue corrosion and
eventual breakdown of the metal.
Advance Products & Systems manufactures
and maintains a supply of quality products and
materials which can help solve most flange
sealing problems to prevent leakage,
preventing corrosion, and saving the integrity
of the pipeline.
FLANGE INSULATING GASKET KITS
TYPE DType D gaskets are specificallydesigned to fit into the ring grooveof ring-type-joint flanges. They aremanufactured of a medium weave,fabric-reinforced phenolic materialand are sized to ANSI and APIspecifications - available in basicoval as well as octagonal shape.Also available are BX gaskets withpressure ratings to 15,000 PSI.
TYPE EType E is a full-faced gasket withthe same outside diameter as theflange and precision cut bolt holes.This design facilitates properalignment of the gasket duringinstallation and foreign material isprevented from shorting the flangeinsulation. Type E gaskets areavailable in plain face or Neopreneface phenolic, as well as a varietyof high temperature materials.
TYPE FType F gaskets are made to fit theraised face portion of the flangeonly. As there are no bolt holes inthe F gasket, the inside diameter ofthe bolt hole circle is slightlysmaller than the outside diameterof the gasket, assuring an exact,automatic positioning of the gasket.Available in the same materials asthe type E gasket.

TROJAN SEALING GASKETSTrojan gaskets are state-of-the-art
in near zero leakage static sealing.The elastomer sealing element is
encapsulated in the electrically insulated retainer. Our mostpopular sealing element materialsare Nitrile® (240oF max. operatingtemperature), Viton® (400oF), andTeflon® (450oF). The encapsulationof the sealing element permits onlymicro-exposure of the seal tohostile environs of fire, chemicalsand corrosive fluids.
Because the controlledconfinement of the elastomersealing ring within the availablevolume of the groove in theretainer, 92% to 94% filled volume,a consistent controlled-pressureseal can always be obtainedwithout tremendous bolt loads.Reduced loads allow for reducedflange thickness, smaller bolts andsmaller circles.
ADVANTAGES OF THE TROJAN• Can be utilized with mismatched flanges• Can be utilized with misaligned flanges
• Can be used in place of RTJ or BX rings• Little initial torque required• No re-torquing required• Sealing ring cannot be left out• Seal design tested from 0 -100,000 psi• Reusable• Competitive price• Limited area of seal exposed (long fire life)• Compensates for pressure fluctuations,
compression changes, vibrations,temperature, etc.
• Greatly reduces human error during installation
• Large selection of materials available• Three to four times the dielectric strength
necessary• Low installation and maintenance costs• Gaskets through 144”

THE TROJAN
The cross section of APS’s TrojanSealing Gasket (A) shows theelastomer sealing element as itappears before compressionbetween flanges. Thiscompression causes the seal toeffectively fill the void of the grooveand encapsulate, (B) permittingonly micro exposure of the actualseal to hostile elements either fromwithin or without.
QUAD SEAL TROJANFour seals on the new Quad-SealTrojan further insures the integrityof the sealing capability of analready-proven reliable gasket. Forareas where absolute zero leakageis a must, the Quad-Seal Trojanworks twice as hard.
All too often, difficult sealingsituations arise from mismatched ormisaligned flanges. A quick, costeffective solution is the APS Trojan.Also, used in place of damaged ormissing RTJ gaskets, the Trojanforms a quick, static seal. TheTrojan is often the reasonablealternative to flange replacement.

INSULATING SLEEVES ANDWASHERS
Insulating sleeves manufacturedof high density polyethylene, NEMAgrade LE phenolic, and Mylar areavailable in a full range of sizes.Also available are one-pieceintegral sleeves and washers whichare made of Minlon, providingsuperior compression strength.Integral sleeves are available insizes through 1-1/2”. A variety ofhigh temperature sleeves are also
stock items.With each insulating washer a
1/8” thick S.A.E. electro-platedsteel washer is provided to protectthe insulating washer from damageby the nut. Advance flangeinsulation sets are available insingle or double washer kits.
FLANGE PROTECTORAdvance flange protectors and
corrosion inhibitor grease arerecommended on all insulated
flanges. By encapsulating theflange cavity with the flangeprotector and injecting ourcorrosion inhibitor grease, you canrely on your cathodic protectionsystem to provide you with years oftrouble free service.
This system totally eliminates anypossibility of foreign materiallodging between the faces of yourflange or corrosion bridging acrossand creating a short.

INSULATING SLEEVES & WASHERS • FLANGE PROTECTORS
FLANGE PROTECTORSKydex and Stainless Steel FlangeProtectors and Radolid ProtectionCaps, two additional ways tofurther seal flanges from corrosion.
RADOLID PROTECTION CAPRadolid Protection Caps from
APS protect nuts and bolts fromdestructive corrosion. Caps areeasily pressed onto the boltedjoints by hand, snapping into placewhen in position. We recommendloading caps with APS’s high meltcorrosioninhibitorgrease foraddedprotection.
