Introduction

The couplings designed for use with our glass process plant and pipeline components are of major importance from two main points of view.

They must ensure that the bolt load applied to the joint is sufficient to make an effective seal whilst not inducing undue stress in the glass.
They must be totally reliable in all service conditions on the inner walls.

This chapter of the catalogue covers not only the necessary couplings to join glass equipments and pipeline components together but also the couplings needed to join glass to another materials. For glass plants installed in relatively corrosive environments and added advantage is the availability of couplings constructed form various materials including stainless steel and plastic.

COMPLETE COUPLINGS

Complete coupling consists of two flanges, two inserts and the appropriate number of nuts, bolts, PTFE 'O' ring.

Generally flanges are made of cast iron powder coated / SS, nuts, bolts, springs.

QUICK RELEASE COUPLINGS

Quick release coupling are used in applications where there is need to open or to close couplings as quickly without using tools. Charging materials to reaction or extraction vessels or replacing measurement indicators are typical examples of this.

Upper flange with slotted bolt -holes, hinged quick release bolts and a lower backing flange, which is fixed on the glass and are separated by means of hinged quick release bolts and wing nuts. Depending upon the frequency of opening.

PTFE bellows are an important aid in the construction of glass plant and pipeline.

They can be used to compensate for different thermal movement between glass and associated equipment, absorb vibrations from associated equipment or foundations. In particular, bellows can be used for connecting glass to other materials. When bellows are used, the support and restraint of the glass should be such that the force resulting from pressure/vacuum in the pipeline and forces resulting from Pressure /vacuum in the pipeline and forces resulting from movement of the bellows do not result in undue stresses in the glass. The maximum operating temperature for PTFE bellows is 180°C. Bellows DN 80 and above should not be used under vacuum.

These components are used as interface spacers when connecting glass flat buttress end components to other process plant and pipeline equipment and glass - lined reaction vessels. A combination of steel, rubber and PTFE provide an ideal sealing surface with only PTFE coming into contact with the process fluids to maintain resistance to corrosion.

PTFE Bellows

PTFE bellows are an important aid in the construction of glass plant and pipeline. They can be used to compensate for different thermal movement between glass and associated equipment, absorb vibrations from associated equipment or foundations. In particular, bellows can be used for connecting glass to other materials. When bellows are used, the support and restraint of the glass should be such that the force resulting from pressure/vacuum in the pipeline and forces resulting from Pressure/vacuum in the pipeline and forces resulting from movement of the bellows do not result in undue stresses in the glass. If any doubt, please consult our Technical Department.

All bellows are delivered complete with an appropriate flange assembly as detailed in the diagram and tables. It is essential that the limiting screws are not removed.

The maximum operating temperature for PTFE bellows is 200¡ÆC. Bellows ON 80 and above should not be used under vacuum. For such application we recommend the use of vacuum bellows as detailed on the following page.
