Most plant teams focus on reliable sealing for large critical valves, heat exchangers, and other large equipment using conventional sealing methods. Areas that involve minor leaks often go ignored or end up at the bottom of the maintenance list. These leaks can add up quickly in terms of cost and safety.
Chesterton offers a collection of sealing support products that stop leaks easily where many conventional sealing methodologies may not work. These products solve issues involving:
- Threaded connections
- Irregular or pitted flanges and casings
- Pipe and fittings in hydraulic and pneumatic systems
- Valve stem sealing up to 260°C (500°F)
