Put Your Trust In Chemipetro Duplex And Flanges

January 15th, 2012

Chemipetro Limited is now the leader in the market when it comes to delivering duplex steel and flanges. We have achieved this through our unyielding commitment to quality across the board and a large part of this is due to us offering a 24 hour emergency breakdown service as standard.

Duplex stainless steels are so called because they have a microstructure made up of both austenite and ferrite in ratios between 40/60 and 50/50. This process gives the steel around twice the strength than other austenitic steel while also offering greater resistance to corrosive forces and the elements. The applications for this steel are numerous and widespread since it not only gives resistance to weather conditions and excessive temperatures but also stress cracking, corrosion and erosion as well as sulfide stress corrosion resistance.

This makes duplex steel the perfect high strength alternative to other austenitic steels. On top of this, the low thermal expansion and high heat conductivity also means that it has applications through welding and working. It means that here is a metal that is to a good degree malleable, but it is also strong and a cost-effective solution to your needs. This steel finds its uses in tubing and piping gas and oil as well as heat exchangers. It can carry various chemicals and chloride solutions through pressure vessels, tanks and pipes.

We also supply the highest quality flanges which can be fitted to various types of tubing to allow other connecting pipes.

Types of Gasketed Flanges

December 23rd, 2011

When it comes to gasketed pipe flanges, there are generally two choices available: the raised face type and the ring type.

Raised face flange
Unsurprisingly, a raised face flange is manufactured with a raised section that is designed to marry-up with a similar flange on the other side of the joint. The face of the raised section is textured so that a tight grip can be achieved with the flat gasket that is sandwiched between the two faces. Some flat gaskets may also be of a spiral-type design. These gaskets have a metal filament wound into the discs that, when compressed between the two flanges, deform to create a stronger seal.

Ring-type flange
A ring-type flange contains a circular or octagonal groove cut in to the face of the flange. A metal gasket is then placed in to this groove and deforms to make a seal when the two flanges are joined together. Although the flange faces may touch, they do not form part of the pressure seal. The main benefit of this type of flange connection is that the gasket does not receive any of the transmitted loads between the flanges, therefore it is possible to ensure not only the correct flange is selected but also that the correct standard is used for the application in question.

Here at Chemipetro, we manufacture a wide range of pipe flanges that can be utilised with all types of gasket materials. Explore our web pages further to find out more.

Common industrial flanges

November 17th, 2011

Common industrial flanges.
We supply numerous different pipe flanges but there are typically a few common types. Flanges are the rings, usually supplied with bolt holes, which can be attached to the ends of a pipe or piece of tubing to allow other pipes or industrial objects to be easily attached. They allow the adaption of materials to suit a project such as a pipe that needs to change direction; flanges can be employed to do this. They also provide an additional benefit in strengthening the pipeline.

The first common flange is an anchor flange, which, as the name suggests, are used to anchor a pipe. A specific type of holder is used for them to support the pipe. The anchor piece is attached, usually through welding, typically surrounded by concrete. These types of flanges can be best for usage where the pipeline changes course or at crossings.

The next type of flange is a split flange which can be ideal for use on piping that already exists. A split flange compromises of two parts that interlock and, using nuts and bolts or welding, gives a very secure fit. Due to it being made up from a double-piece, these types of pipe flanges are often used to amend areas that have become weaker or to provide an additional attachment that a standard flange is unable to do.

Expander flanges are known as a type of welding pipe neck piece that is used to make the size of the pipe bigger at a flange connection point. They are a less expensive and more compact than using a separate reducer welding neck flange combination. This saves you space and money.

HSE Promotes Petrochemical Industry Safety and Product Integrity

October 30th, 2011

Health & Safety holds as prominent a place in our offices as it does on our factory floor. We understand the vital role the HSE (Health and Safety Executive) play in the maintenance and implementation of Health & Safety measures throughout the U.K, which is why we not only take onboard their recommendations and legal requirements, but also implement our own tailored Health & Safety conventions.

Manufacture and Storage
Our product manufacture facility currently covers around 23,000 sq. ft.  And we see that as 23,000 sq. ft where everything from the smallest stud bolts to the largest seamless pipe MUST be accounted for and stored safety and in line with HSE regulations.

Environmental Challenges
Although we don’t manufacture and work within the hostile environments our products are often designed for, we implement both legally required and additional product testing to make sure all our stud bolts, flanges and various other components perform with 100% reliability under pressure. In the cases of seamless pipe products we habitually put into practice supplementary testing such as liquid penetrant inspection and hydrogen induced cracking.

HSE Recommendations
The HSE is quick to point out that the simplest of component failures can result in millions of pounds worth of damage and potentially fatal accidents. Ongoing legislature and HSE campaigns push for complete component reliability, comprehensive product testing and the shunning of a “cutting corners in favour of lower costs” attitude throughout the petrochemical industry. We’re fully onboard with these recommendations and look forward to continuing our work producing top quality components.

Titanium Application with Chemipetro

October 25th, 2011

We operate primarily within industries where component and material faultlessness are paramount. Innovations are greeted with a critical eye (can they stand up to their promise?) and longstanding bastions are tough to replace. One such frontrunner is titanium. We occasionally publish news entries about the diverse applications of titanium – golf clubs, climbing equipment, steam condensers, seawater management systems etc – so here’s a brief novice’s guide to exactly why titanium retains its rank in our business.

Component Lifecycle vs. Replacement Costs
It’s an industry-wide conundrum – spend more on longer lasting components (titanium socket weld, flanges etc) or spend less on weaker materials that will need to be replaced sooner. In our opinion, a little extra investment in top quality products, expert engineering and faultless manufacture is always best. We promote titanium as improving the average lifecycle of a component (compared to its lifecycle when made from an inferior material) by around 500%

Qualities of Titanium
•    The surface oxide layer of titanium is the element that gives it such astonishing resilience to temperature and corrosion (certainly a worthy quality in terms of components such as tubing, flanges and socket weld)
•    The density of titanium if roughly half the density of other nickel-based alloys.
•    The exceedingly high weight to strength ratio of titanium is perhaps its most well-known quality.
•    Temperature resistance (both high and low) is also an incredibly prominent quality of titanium.
•    Resistance to both erosive and corrosive products makes titanium an invaluable material in the petrochemical industry.

Get it and get to work

October 20th, 2011

It’s harder than ever to make money these days, with small businesses failing all over the place and even the bankers tightening their belts. However, those of us lucky enough to be in a trade, like plumbing, which will never be obsolete, there are still plenty of ways to keep your head above water and your business thriving. Learning to navigate the new environment of information available freely that facebook, twitter and industry rating sites have created is tough, but it’s the only way to get ahead. Read on to find out how the experts are making money in plumbing by playing the game.

The first and most important thing is that the plumbers making serious money are doing so by building up a loyal client base. If you can earn a customer’s trust, they’ll call you whenever there’s a problem, even if you aren’t the cheapest on the block. You’ll get to know their systems, which saves you time, and if you’re lucky they’ll even recommend you to friends, family and neighbours.

How to build a loyal client base? It’s simpler than it sounds; it’s all about communication. Most people can’t really understand plumbing, because they don’t know their socket head cap screws from their stud bolts. Helping them understand is vital to building trust.

Last but not least, never keep them waiting. Buy pipe fittings from Chemi Petro and you’ll have them in your hand next day, meaning that you never leave a customer in the lurch. Simple.
