Personal safety is important in every industry, but when sensitive, hazardous or unstable chemicals are involved, the need to protect employees from exposure becomes paramount. The Garlock® family of companies creates sealing solutions that resist the extreme temperatures and corrosive materials of chemical processing environments to deliver unparalleled safety, performance and reliability.
Garlock sealing solutions excel in a variety of chemical processing applications — including pumps, valves, reactors, flange joints, heat exchangers and more — through their tireless dedication to understanding their customers’ specific needs and designing highly engineered products that exceed their expectations.
Never content to rest on past achievements, Garlock’s scientists and engineers are constantly developing new and innovative sealing technologies that change the way the chemical processing industry meets its sealing requirements. By combining advanced technology products with exceptional service and environmental stewardship, Garlock delivers sealing solutions that improve personal safety and plant productivity, reduce costs and comply with increasingly stringent environmental regulations.
Flange Gaskets
In providing the critical links between pumps and processing equipment in a wide variety of chemical plants, piping arrays must transport high pressure, abrasive high temperature and otherwise hazardous materials. Under these types of conditions, the flange sealing solutions play an important role in ensuring safety and reducing downtime. Garlock’s gasketing products provide the performance and reliability to meet these exacting demands.
Piping systems require proper layout, support systems and equipment to handle vibration, misalignment, and transitions. Elastomeric expansion joints are a critical component in these systems, allowing for thermal movement, vibration and correcting misalignment. Many piping systems also require expansion joints or butterfly valves that offer resistance to severe chemicals.
This equipment and associated piping have a number of pressure zones and may require connections with high performance and high compressive force. Garlock sealing solutions provide best-in-class performance and safety under a range of temperature and pressure environments.
