Clock Spring Company, a manufacturer of products for the repair and rehabilitation of pipe-based critical infrastructure, introduced Full Metal Gasket, a permanent, zero-emissions, non-leaking seal.
“As we introduce creative solutions for maintaining the reliability of critical infrastructure, our continuing focus is on safety and environmental responsibility,” says Clock Spring CEO and president Matthew Boucher. “The design of our metal-to-metal gasket is elegant in its simplicity, maintaining zero-emissions integrity under exacting conditions. And like all Clock Spring products, it is easy to install and cost-effective to deploy across a broad range of applications.”
The Clock Spring Full Metal Gasket is the world’s only DNV GL type approved gasket for zero emissions. The CNC-milled gasket is manufactured from a single block of metal using the same material as the surrounding pipe and flange; so it shares identical characteristics and is able to expand and contract in line with the adjoining infrastructure to maintain a permanent, zero-emissions, non-leaking seal.
The innovativecompany says its gasket design addresses a problem that bolted flanges can’t. Traditional gaskets leak when the material contained in the system escapes through the pores of the gasket material. Studies show that seals between flanges are among the weakest components of piping connections, resulting in production and productivity loss and higher operational costs. The Full Metal Gasket eliminates the piping system’s weakest link, delivering sealing technology with unrivaled effectiveness.
