Klinger's Flange Insulation Kits
Flange insulation kits are essential for protecting flanged joints in piping systems. At Henry Gallacher, we have extensive experience in flange insulation solutions and stock a wide range of high-quality components to support a range of industries and applications.
Why Use Flange Insulation Kits?
Flange insulation kits protect flanged joints and keep your piping systems running smoothly. They help prevent common issues while making maintenance easier and safer. Key benefits include:
Reduce Electrical Arcing
Minimises the risk of sparking between flanges, particularly in systems that carry conductive fluids or are prone to static buildup.
Prevent Galvanic Corrosion
Helps stop dissimilar metals, such as aluminium and steel, from contacting and reacting when in the presence of moisture or electrolytes. This protects flanged joints from corrosion and weaken
Improve Safety
Helps maintain a stable, reliable system for both personnel and equipment.
Lower Maintenance Cost
Reduces the need for repairs and unplanned downtime.
What's Included in a Set?
Insulating Gasket
Provides a dependable, leak-free seal between the flanges.
Insulating Bolt Sleeves
Prevent direct metal-to-metal contact by isolating the bolts from the flange assembly, helping reduce the risk of galvanic corrosion.
Insulating Washers
Maintains electrical isolation on both sides of the joint to ensure reliable insulation performance across the entire connection.
Steel Washers
Helps evenly distribute the load and maintain steady, secure joint compression.
