In Situ Flange Face Machining

Description

In-situ Flange Facing In-situ Flange Facing is the process of Resurfacing Flanges by Machining to ensure a Perfect Seal when Assembled. The newly Machined Surface then allows for an Improved Seal. In-situ Flange Facing helps to keep your plant running efficiently and safely

K F R Engineers has a range of both internally and externally mounted flange facing machines that will cover most applications.

When combined with our skilled manpower service you will have the right combination for success.

Our flange facing equipment is capable of maintaining high degrees of accuracy, with a variable feed rate to achieve the desired surface finish for all gasket types. All of our machines can be pneumatically or hydraulically driven and are highly portable, designed to work in the most demanding of conditions.

Some typical applications include:-

• Raised face flanges
• Ring type joints
• ‘O’ ring grooves
• Heat exchanger tube sheets front & back face
• Compact flanges
• Specialist hub connectors
• Lens ring profiles
• Counter bores
• Weld prep profiles

Flange Facing is an overall cost effective technique which ensures the correct surface finish is achieved, aiding the integrity of your piped connections, which in turn helps to keep your plant running efficiently, safely and more environmentally friendly.

On-site flange facing saves time and money by carrying out repairs in-situ, subsequently reducing the total shut down period, which leads to increased plant production.

K F R Engineers have many years of experience in repairing worn and damaged flanges and are able to achieve the correct surface finish throughout our flange facing machine range.

K F R Engineers are able to cover all types of flange face machining including flat face, raised face and ring type joints (RTJ).
