Taper-Lok© pressure-energized
connections can be greatly utilized in the air and gas compression
market. Our
products are engineered to provide the safest seal of any
bolted connection offering unequaled design flexibility.
Reasons for using a Taper-Lok© flange connection
within this market include:
- Taper-Lok© products have been incorporated into
the design of both Reciprocating Gas Compressors and
High Pressure Compressor Cylinders.
- Taper-Lok© flange connections are ideal for cyclic,
fatigue, and vibration loads.
- Taper-Lok© products are significantly lighter
and more compact than conventional flanges.
- The Taper-Lok© seal ring has a unique tapered
geometry, which is key in making our bolted connection
self-aligning, self-energizing, and pressure energized.
- Both the seal ring and the mating flanges are
manufactured from the same material giving the same rate
of expansion and contraction throughout the bolted connection.
- The durability of a wide
area-type seal, along with lighter bolt load requirements,
allows Taper-Lok© seal rings to be reusable many times.
