BENEFITS

The RIGFLEX™ FP gasket is available in 316 stainless steel as standard (other materials available upon
request) and is supplied with material certification (upon request). All assembled pressure-containing
components, test pipes, connectors and welds are thoroughly pressure tested.

• Significantly reduces testing time
• Improved HSE by reducing the need for testing personal and volume of (potentially old) piping systems exposed to high test pressures
• Considerable cost savings on test media, such as Nitrogen
• Monitoring of potential leakage after installation allows for proactive maintenance
• Continuous monitoring or spot testing of individual connection
• Corriculite™ facings mitigate against flange-face corrosion
• Fire safe per API 6FB

AVAILABILITY

• To suit ASME B16.5 raised face flanged connections
• Sizes: 1/2” – 24” NPS
• Class: 150 thru 2500
• Corriculite™ Temperature Range:
  • -196°C to +260°C
• Other sealing materials are available upon request should temperature limits be exceeded like Thermiculite facings which can operate up to 1800F

The RIGFLEX™ FP gasket is comprised of a precision machined, grooved core with dual Kammprofile elements on opposite sides of the gasket, faced with Corriculite™. The metal core has been drilled and fitted with a high-pressure test pipe and threaded port. Connection to an external pressure source allows the controlled pressurization of the annular space between the sealing faces of Corriculite™ faced Kammprofile. Monitoring the pressure enables the integrity of the connection to be directly assessed. The gasket is supplied with a fire-safe, high-pressure cap, allowing post-test isolation of the test port. The gasket can be provided with a hand-operated hydraulic or pneumatic pump and can also be supplied with fittings to suit existing pressurization equipment.
