Quick, easy to assemble – sealing on a roll The universal sealing solution

The following applications ofKLINGER® SEALEX will give yousome idea of the innovative usesof this product. Further refe-rences are available on request.

In turbine constructionOperating conditions: 8 bar at 240 °C.A sealing material was required for a number of flanges in the low-pressure area of the turbine houseof a nuclear power station. KLINGER® SEALEX succeeded inreplacing the traditional seals andreduced the time needed to cleanthe flange faces giving savings ofsome 40-workforce hours everytime the joints were replaced. These savings are in addition to thesavings made in dismantling andassembling the joint and in the costof materials, which would otherwisehave been used.

In dryer kilns:Operating conditions: 230 °CTunnel kilns for the kiln drying ofcoated / lacquered steel and alumi-nium metal elements on the air flowfeed and air extraction sides aresealed with the new ”miracle of theroll”. KLINGER® SEALEX replaceswoven tape fabric, flocked sidepanel cladding and other insulationmaterials with or without asbestos.KLINGER® SEALEX adjusts extre-mely well to all flange sealing condi-tions and possess outstandingresistance to paint solvents andcleaning agents.

KLINGER®SEALEX as a tempo-rary solution in pipeline systemsOperating conditions: Aggressiveagents at 5 bar and 32 °CAn extremely aggressive mixture ofdistilled water, vulcanisation agents,carrier agents and pigments isconveyed via a pumping station andassociated piping system.KLINGER® SEALEX is also em-ployed here for repairs in emergen-cies. The results are surprising. An emergency solution becomes a permanent fixture.

Installation instructions:Clean flanges, cut off a lenght ofKLINGER® SEALEX slightly longerthan the actual circumference of theseal. Peel off the adhesive protec-tion strip and press KLINGER®

What’s so unique aboutKLINGER® SEALEX?

KLINGER® SEALEX is a PTFE product manu-factured from a unique,physically networked fibrillated material. It iscomposed of speciallyprepared fluorocarbonswith excellent resistanceto aggressive chemicalsas well as offering secure sealing underhigh pressures, evenpermitting the use ofthe material in applica -tions up to 150 bar in-ternal pressure ratings.

KLINGER® SEALEXcan be applied to any sealing face, giving excellent sealing performance even atlow bolt loads.

pensate for non-ideal flange con -ditions, a small amounts of residuematerial on the flange face is permissible. Next apply the strips of sealentstraight from the roll onto the flangesurface, as shown in both the photo-graphs. Apply the tape either over-lapping at the ends or cut acutelyand abutted – as shown in the pho-tograph on the right. That`s all thereis to it!

The benefits to repair andmaintenance routinesYou are prepared for every eventua-lity with KLINGER® SEALEX – theseal an a roll. Maintenance Engineershave already benefited from the ver-satility of KLINGER® SEALEX, since itcan be used practically anywhere. When replacing defective seals,first clean flange as thoroughly aspossible. Since one of the strengthsof the products is its ability to com-

Replacement of conventionalgasket materialsKLINGER® SEALEX offers particularadvantages in applications whichprove difficult for conventional materials:

n When the sealing surface or thestability of the flange prevents thesuccessful use of a conventionalseal.n When the geometry of the flangeseating demands an intricate gasketshape, which is both difficult to as-semble and uneconomic to manu-facture.

n When the flange material only permit the use of low bolt loads toseat the gasket but the media in the system and the associated inte-rior pressure demands a high integ -rity seal.

These are just some of the areasin which you can use KLINGER®

SEALEX . You may have other ideasfor its use, either as a replacementfor conventional gasketing or as ahidden reserve for unforeseen circumstances. Please call us for asample and associated technical information on the product.

Should you have queries concer-ning the suitability of KLINGER®

SEALEX for your application, we will gladly assist you with our experience. You may contact usthrough our fax service. Let us havethe details of your particular appli-cation requirements and you will receive reliable response and all ne-cessary information within 24 hours. You can request a questionnairefor submitting fax enquiries directfrom our works.

However, if it is possible to re-tighten the flange assembly after24 hours, then you can reduce theapplied bold load by half. Despite its versatility and ease ofhandling. KLINGER® SEALEX shouldnot be viewed as a temporary solu-tion, but as a high grade permanentseal with unique characteristics.

Should it be required, you can usetwo strips of tape bonded over oneanother. When re-assembling the flange,you can work with the usual assem-bly torque – then fit and forget.

There is no need to re-tightenthe bolts with KLINGER® SEALEX.

As can be seen, with just a few rollsof KLINGER® SEALEX you have thesame level of security as with con-ventional gaskets. With the ability tosolve a problem quickly, the small
