An Ameriforge Company

Zero Fugitive Emissions
Taper-Lok© pressure-energized connectors are engineered to provide the safest, most reliable seal of any bolted flange connection and offer unequaled design flexibility and engineering advantages.

Products			Industries Served
	Weld Neck Assembly The Weld Neck Assembly is a compact flange for both new piping construction and replacement of existing flanges			Oil & Gas Taper-Lok© has an outstanding record in both offshore and Subsea applications
	Blind Closure Assembly Blind assemblies are frequently used for both manways and containment connections on pressure vessels, heat exchangers, pipelines,and skid packages			PetroChemical Taper-Lok©, also, has an outstanding record in both onshore and refining applications
	Double Male Adapter The Double-Male Adapter is commonly used when converting an existing flange set up to the Taper-Lok© sealing technology			Power Generation Taper-Lok©’s excellent features compliment the Power Generation market in many ways like Fuel Line Distribution and Main Stream Service
	Long Weld Neck Assembly The long Weld Neck is typically used in pressure vessel applications			Compressors Taper-Lok© pressure-energized connections can be greatly utilized in the air and gas compression market
	Skillet Blind The Taper-Lok© Skillet Blind is an individual component that is comparable to a pancake blind for an ANSI flange			Heat Exchangers Taper-lok connections were originally designed by Brown Fin Tubing to provide for a smaller, lighter, flange connection for use on their heat exchangers
	Swivel Flange Assembly This connection encompasses all of the features of a weld neck assembly but gives the ability to align boltholes with a simple rotation of the swivel ring			Separators Taper-Lok© has a detailed history of working with leading suppliers of process systems for numerous products
	MVL Flange Assembly This product is typically used in subsea application between the flowline and riser piping			Lethal Fluid new engineering innovations that solved the toughest, most critical hard to hold applications
	Spherical Misalignment Assembly This technology is based on the “double ball joint” shape of the spherical male adapter, which allows for both axial and angular misalignment of piping			Other The unique design and advanced technology offered by Taper-Lok© flange connectors are suitable for any industry requiring bolted pipe connections
	Misalignment Flange Assembly The standard misalignment assembly (shown) allows up to 10-degrees of both axial and angular misalignment of piping
	Clamp Connector Taper-Lok Clamp Connector is one of several pressureenergized connectors engineered to provide specific solutions in specialized applications
	3-Bolt Quick Assembly Swivel (QAS) Assembly Swivel (QAS) is one of several pressure-energized connectors engineered to provide specific solutions in specialized applications
	Zero Gap This Taper-Lok connection has a landed male nose onto the female flange to eliminate the gap between the two flanges.

Peak Performance…Under Peak Pressure
Taper-Lok© is acknowledged as the world leader in pressure energized, metal-to-metal flange sealing technology and has provided “leak-free” products to some of the most extreme oil and gas exploration, discovery, and transfer environments, in addition to upstream, refining, and petro-chemical plants in the world.

While providing a high integrity seal under extreme environment, the smaller, light-weight, bolted connections have successfully withstood the rigors of cryogenic applications, supercritical steam, hydrogen gas, heat transfer fluids, hydrogen sulfide, low molecular weight gases and a multitude of other “hard-to-hold” materials.

Taper-Lok© pressure-energized connectors are engineered to provide the safest, most reliable connection of any bolted flange and offer unequaled design flexibility and engineering advantages.

• Meets or exceeds ASME code, Section VIII
• Can be tailored to meet unique project requirements
• Minimized Size & Weight Profiles, significantly lighter and smaller than conventional flanges
• Manufactured to customer specified materials
• Reusable, high integrity seal
• Self-aligning and centering tapered metal seal ring allows up to 2° axial pipe misalignment on a standard connection.  Special models designed up to 10°-20° misalignment
• Sizes range from ½” to 83”, up to 40,000 psi, and temperatures from -350° to 1,600°F
• Seal ring is typically made of the same material as the mating flanges; eliminate thermal expansion / contraction concerns
• Suitable for lethal fluids and critical services
• Easy to assemble, simple to install, less expensive to ”fit-up”
• Visible seal for quick inspection
• Lower torque requirements, Smaller stud diameter
• Safety & Environmental Advantage, In compliance with the 1990 Clean Air Act
• Zero Fugitive Emissions (get in touch with fugitive emission testing companies)
• Connections withstand high external loads, dynamic loading, cyclical thermals, and has limited corrosion
• Significant reduction in installation and downtime cost
• Field repairable
• Benefits in reducing inventory
