Kleerband Flange Protectors

Flange protection is a regular subject of conversations with clients and prospects.  Flanges not only demand effective sealing to properly prevent leakage but they must also be cathodically isolated to prevent stray currents which cause corrosion and eventual breakdown of the metal.

FT Gas Control Systems offers Kleerband® flange protectors. These elongate the life of the asset by protecting the flange face, studs and gaskets on raised face, full face and ring joint flanges from atmospheric corrosion encountered in gas plants, metering stations and underground pipelines.  The new Kleerband® design offers visual inspection of the flange surface and thus indication of potential joint leakage without removal of the flange protector.

KleerGel®’s Heavy Duty Synthetic Grease

This high performance synthetic grease is a non-staining, non-toxic multipurpose lubricate which outperforms all petroleum based greases and many synthetic greases. Compared to petroleum-based greases, which contain many impurities, KleerGel’s product is free of contamination and is one reason why it performs better at higher and lower temperatures and under more demanding conditions.

Synthetic lubricants, by their nature, are not as easily prone to oxidation, emulsification and other destructive chemical reactions, which are inherent to petroleum-based greases. KleerGel further improves the performance of its grease by adding special anti-wearing, anti-rusting and anti-oxidative additives.

Petroleum-based greases contain impurities that reduce film strength and decrease wear protection. These greases form by adding thickeners (calcium, sodium, lithium) to petroleum-based oils, which form harmful deposits at high temperatures and solidify at low temperatures.

Kleerband (clear flange protectors) and KleerGel (inhibitor grease) protect your asset against corrosion and ingress of water as specified by National Grid.
