For heat exchangers designed for multipass flows within the shell — for example, Tubular Exchanger Manufacturers Association standard shell types F, G and H — it is common to incorporate a longitudinal baffle plate within the tube bundle design. These plates direct the shell fluid flow in desired directions to increase the dwell time of the fluid while in contact with the tubes, thereby increasing the heat transfer effectiveness of the exchanger.

KLINGER® Quantum is the first fiber reinforced gasket material in the world that is exclusively HNBR-bound. Together with a unique production process developed specifically for the purpose, this material can be used at higher temperatures and with a much wider range of media than any other fiber reinforced gasket material that is currently available.
This material is suitable for use in oils, water, steam, gases, salt solutions, fuels, alcohols, weak organic and inorganic acids, hydrocarbons, lubricants and refrigerants. KLINGER Quantum is manufactured with a high-quality fiber and filler compound reinforced with a high temperature resistant HNBR matrix.
The purpose of this 2-minute video is to provide the definition of a flash cutter, what makes them ideal for custom, or standard gasket shapes, and the capabilities of Gallagher Fluid Seals.

KLINGERSIL gasketing materials are hard to beat. A proven track record makes them one of the premier gasketing companies in the United States. Because of this, some competitors have cleverly posed their compressed gasket materials as KLINGERSIL green (C-4401).
However, their offerings aren't equal in terms of quality, performance, or specification. And just because it's green doesn't mean it's KLINGERSIL. To ensure you're getting what you want and need in your compressed gasket materials, whether green, gray, tan, black, or white, look for the KLINGERSIL logo repetitively printed on the sheet.
Our friends and partners at KLINGER Thermoseal recently did a survey with their customer base.
So, what's the effect of lubricating your bolts? This blog explores the relationship between the friction coefficient and gasket surface pressure.
Without lubrication, after torqueing, the force is distributed as follows:
These figures are indicative. Factors such as actual surface roughness and bolt diameter help in determining the actual ratio.
Some applications in plants call out for isolation kits to maintain the integrity and reliability of a pipeline and piping system. Isolation kits are designed to work in conjunction with flanges,
Modern technology often requires rare or ultra-pure materials that can only be handled or obtained within extreme environmental conditions. These same conditions present unique and hazardous difficulties when transporting or utilizing these resources. Resources such as liquid oxygen, nitrogen, or argon; all of which are classified as “industrial gases” are handled well below the normal temperature ranges that every-day liquids exist; ranging as low as -195.8°C (-320.4°F). This often makes it a challenging task to find a low temp gasket to fit the specifications for the application.
As an example, let’s look at argon; an important gas used in Welding, Neon Lights, 3D Printing, and Metal Production, just to name a few. It is far more economical to house and transport argon in its liquid state. However, it must be held at an astonishingly low -185.9°C. Fitting the pipes together and maintaining
Leakages and ill-assembled flanged connections are a daily concern for both offshore and onshore refining industries. Possible implications include additional reinstatement, production loss, monetary loss, damage to assets, harm to employees and environmental consequences. Operators and engineering houses have been left with limited options for ensuring the integrity and safety of bolted flange connections -- until now.
KLINGER Sentry Reverse Integrity Gaskets are designed so leakage testing can be carried out on individual gasketed connections to determine if tightness has been achieved, before introducing internal pressure. And the system also allows monitoring of the joint throughout its lifespan.
Thermoseal's KLINGERSIL C-4401 gasket material is a compressed fiber material with excellent chemical and sealability characteristics while being reasonably priced. C-4401 is manufactured from synthetic fibers with a Nitrile binder system and is an exceptional gasket material for sealing liquids in high temperature applications. C-4401 is manufactured from synthetic fibers with a Nitrile binder system and is an exceptional gasket material for sealing liquids in high temperature applications . This material is typically used as a gasket or seal for compressors, pipe flanges, manways, pumps and valves.
