PLANT MANAGEMENT
Protective coatings are
making a positive impact in many process industries
391 (for clear, dry film) by brush. Allow to dry for 1-2 hours (or more) before covering with rigid flange cover or other approved mechanical protection (avoid wood covers because they absorb moisture).
Preventative measures can protect vulnerable piping components from corrosion
THE BOTTOM LINE Ultimately, the condition of the flange face directly affects the condition of the system and is at risk at any point up to installation.
Taking preventative measures to protect vulnerable flange faces from corrosion and mechanical damage during shipping and storage can go a long way toward preserving flange faces in their original state. A little time spent cleaning the flange and applying a coating now could translate into many hours and much money saved later by avoiding resurfacing delays and minimising system downtime.

Shot peening is a cost effective method to help prevent:
l Metal fatigue l Pitting/Fretting
Engineered coatings help with: l High lubricity/low friction l Anti-corrosion l High release/anti-stick l Low noise/anti-squeak
C.A.S.E.TM super finishing is used to:
l Increase gearbox efficiency l Reduce surface/contact fatigue l Decrease lubricant temperature l Reduce transmission noise
Engineered technologies Surface treatments for critical components
