The pikotek Flowlok insulating connection is designed to be an engineered improvement over conventional flange sealing gaskets. When we say insulating connection, we really mean insulation from all corrosive forces that can lead to flange corrosion and/or other sealing problems. This can include corrosive media, electrolysis, dissimilar/incompatible metals, etc. The Flowlok is designed to combat these problems,

THUS PROVIDING A LONG TERM INOCULATION AGAINST PRODUCTION DOWN TIME!

Specific applications include:

Electrical flange isolation used in conjunction with cathodic protection Separation of Dissimilar/Incompatible metals for the purpose of eliminating galvanic corrosion Elimination of fluid trap corrosion, turbulence and flow induced erosion in RTJ connections High concentrations of H2S, C02 and other aggressive media applications C02 and sea/salt water injection systems Coated flange surfaces where coating impingement is a potential problem with conventional sealing devices Applications where on going routine maintenance to valves or piping system requires gasket reusability Flanges exposed to thermal cycling and/or pressure cycling Flanges subjected to vibration/cavitation (i.e. compressor stations) Mating mismatched ring-joint to non ring-joint flanges

The pikotek Firelok is designed to provide all of the benefits of the Flowlok with the added security of certified fire resistance that is unmatched by conventional flange gaskets. This makes the Firelok ideal for:

• All hydrocarbon service including offshore facilities where either corrosion or the risk of a hydrocarbon fire are significant concerns to the integrity of the production facility and welfare of personnel
• Refineries, gas plants, chemical and other processing facilities where corrosion is a potential problem and/or fire is a persistent threat
