The Pikotek® VCS® gasket provides exceptional insulating and general sealing performance in aggressive material applications. The VCS gasket is suitable in all services up to and including ANSI 2500# and API 10,000# classes.¹
The VCFS® adds fire service capability to the standard Pikotek® VCS® design through the use of a secondary sealing element that is capable of maintaining a seal while subject to a 1500°F (815°C) fire. The VCFS fire resistant gasket combines proven sealing performance in aggressive environments with the capability to pass the API 6FB, 3rd Edition fire test³.
The VCXT™ high temperature flange insulation sets create a seal and maintain electrical isolation across a wide range of seating stresses and flange classes in elevated temperature service. They can be used in load compromised connections; such as damaged and/or lined flanges and also heavily bolted connections where significant gasket stresses may be generated.
The VCS-ID® (Inside Diameter) Seal introduces an internal, machined PTFE seal at the bore of the existing VCS design platform. The use of a patented interlocking mechanism ensures an extremely tight seal at the bore and resistance to effects from internal pressure or aggressive media. The interlocking mechanism is intentionally designed to be approximately 0.100” larger than the pipe ID.
LineBacker® sealing gaskets use a rectangular sealing element, referred to as a "quad" ring, in combination with a unique groove design to effectively seal and isolate flanges of all types. With the unique quad ring design, elastic memory is provided for elastomers not normally associated with this characteristic.
Unlike Xylan® coated isolation washers, the new Diamond-Hyde™ 316L SS coated Washers are much more abrasion resistant and stronger dielectrically than the older generation isolation washers. Long life and superior electrical performance are dependent upon an impermeable, electrically resistant coating.
