Benefits

Size benefits Weight benefits

Advantages of a seal ring compared to a standard gasket

Much lighter (save up to 80% on weight) Smaller dimensions (in both overall length and diameter) More reliable sealing : Seal ring instead of gaskets Multiple sealing areas No corrosion/erosion on flange faces (gapless) No need to re-tighten bolts on a regular time scale

Stronger Reusable More reliable Less maintenance

Main benefits of L-005 comptact flange compared to ASME flange :

Much smalleralternativecompared toASME flanges

COMPACT FLANGES

The Raised Face (RF) on an ASME flange is a weak point

FACT : in some casesthe weight of 1 ANSI flange

= 4-5 compact flanges

1) Bending forces on the piping system will loose bolting on ASME flanges after a while so that re-tightening of the bolts is required. It has NO impact on the compact flange.

2) Gap between 2 ASME flanges (caused by RF) can cause corrosion or erosion.

Compact size is ideal for applications with space restrictions likef.ex. Offshore rigs and misc. Subsea installations like f.ex. X-mas trees.
