Flexitallic UK Launches New Product Line Following Appointment Industry Specialist
Garry Yarker stamps the size rating, grade, and cast number to a spectacle plate at Flexitallic UK’s north east service centre.
Flexitallic UK Ltd has seen an immediate impact from a new product line following the recruitment of industry specialist Garry Yarker.
With more than 16 years’ experience in the manufacture and production of spectacle plates, slip plates, and spacer rings, he will now direct the expansion of the company’s capabilities within this market.
The safety devices, which are installed between pipe flanges and provide flexibility during repairs and scheduled maintenance, are largely used in the oil and gas, petrochemicals, offshore and water treatment sectors.
Spectacle plates comprise a solid disc connected to a ring disc and once fitted, can be rotated to either block the flow of product within a section of pipeline or rotated to allow flow. Slip plates, which consist of a solid disc with a ‘handle’, are used to ensure a section of pipeline is safely
isolated from an operational system, while spacer rings are inserted to show that the flow is open.
Made of corrosion resistant metal, carbon steel, stainless steel, or duplex, they are available in a variety of sizes and pressure ratings and are 3.1 certified.
Currently produced at Flexitallic’s UK’s manufacturing facility in Cleckheaton, West Yorkshire, the company is considering making an additional investment in its new North East Service Centre in Middlesbrough to create additional fabrication facilities.
