STARTEC Gasket Insulation Kits are specially designed for critical applications boasting of construction with specialty reinforced epoxy, metal cores and high performance sealing materials made of specialty rubbers/PTFE with spring energization confirming to fire safe specification.
The components of the insulation kits like sleeves, washers, nuts & bolts are designed to high end specification where conventional insulation kits fail to perform.
TYPES OF INSULATION KITS
[one_third] 1. 9320-ES GASKET STARTEC® 9230-ES is designed for medium-pressure service gasket, which is required on electrical insulation and prevent from electrical corrosion where connected with dissimilar metals, and protect flange face damages by low pressure. To enhance sealing ability and isolation performance, glass reinforced epoxy is reinforced on both surface of sealing material. Considering applicable line, specified elastomer material is adaptable and both full face and flange ring types are available upon request.
A. Sealing Retainer
9230-ES, retainer is constructed of glass reinforced epoxy laminates and shows excellent dielectric strength and protect the leakage from high pressure, deformation of exterior fluid and inflow.
B. Sealing Material
Sealing material is the most important factors, which defines the sealing ability and should consider each chemical characteristic, temperature and pressure condition. Furthermore, it designed by circumstance damages and deformations for proper sealing.
C. Benefits
- Superior sealing ability for medium pressure (Class 150~600LB Line).
- High strength of sealing retainer prevent damages from excess compression.
- Excellent insulation performance.
- Protection for electrical corrosion in dissimilar metals.
- Protection for damage of facing surfaces.
- Easy installation and disassembly.
- Stable sealability at irregularities and unevenness flange surface.
A. Metal core
Attached Stainless Metal Core between Glass Reinforced Epoxy performs superior sealing ability and reinforced insulation characteristic in high pressure. (Max ASME Class 2500). Standard core Material is Stainless Steel 316L and other special material options are available depend on client requests.
B. Insulation layer(Glass Reinforced Epoxy)
The laminate material of STARTEC® 9320-OS is composed with Glass Reinforced Epoxy (NEMA LI-1 G10, G11) for excellent insulation. It protects from leakage on over tightening bolt and penetration of fluids induced erosion with deformation.
C. Spring Reinforced PTFE Seal
The selection of sealing material is critical and should be considered its reliability such as each chemical fluid characteristic, temperature and pressure etc.
It is designed for safety from environmental aggressive sealing situation of damages and deformation.Specially, STARTEC® 9320-OS is minimized Cold Flow by attaching reinforced spring(Stainless Steel) on PTFE Seal. Reliable sealing in using micro-vibration or deformation by loosening bolts is available.[/one_third][one_third] 3. 9320-OFS GASKET STARTEC® 9320-OFS is specially invented for raised concern in the event of a fire where existing high pressure fluid line of electrical isolation.
Reinforced unique double sealing structure will compensate for the possible risk of a fire, threaten properties caused by non-metallic sealing performance. Suitable for off shore industry and project purpose where mandatorily required to prevent 2nd damage from fluids leakage likely happen to high risk or explosion caused by a fire.
A. Metal core
Inserted metal core on both surfaces of Glass Reinforced Epoxy. It designed to support in high pressure rate of Max ASME 2500 and can withstand to applying the condition. Standard core Material is Stainless Steel 316L and other special material options are available depend on client requests.
B. Insulation layer(Glass Reinforced Epoxy)
The laminate material of 9320-OFS is composed with Glass Reinforced Epoxy (NEMA LI-1 G10, G11), which shown stable insulation and leakage safety during over tightening. Excellent protect from the interferences of fluids penetration including erosion with deformation.
C. Reinforced PTFE Seal/Serrated Metal with STARPHITE®
The selection of sealing material is important and requires considering its reliability such as each chemical fluid characteristic, temperature and pressure etc. It is highly designed for safety from environmental aggressive sealing situation of damages and deformation. Specially, 9320-OFS is minimized Cold Flow by attaching reinforced spring (Stainless Steel) on PTFE Seal. Reliable sealing in using micro-vibration or deformation by loosening bolts is available.
