FLANGE INSULATION KIT

Cathodic protection consists of the controlled use of the electrochemical corrosion principle to protect Pipe-line, tanks and other submerged equipment. Piping or equipment to be protect should be electrically insulated from the rest of the system to prevent The flow of galvanic current to a non-protected area. Zinc anodes are installed in sufficient quantities to absorb the galvanic current. These anodes are consumed in the process and should be replaced periodically.

The figure illustrates a submerged pipe-line protected by a Zinc electrode insulated from the rest of the system.

Insulation Kit For Flanges Consists of :
– Gasket phenolic reinforced rubber
– Insulating sleeves
– Insulating washer
– Metal washer

Gasket Material reinforced phenolic with a layer of neoprene rubber. The total gasket thickness is 1/8 in (3.2mm) other materials used are compressed sheet, PTFE and filled TFE Insulations Sleeve are available in either Polyethylene or reinforced phenolic or insulator Material with a 1/32 in (0.8mm) insulating washers are supplied in either reinforced phenolic or special compressed sheet with 1/8 in (3.2mm) thickness metal washer are supplied in 1/8 in (3.2mm) thickness steel and plated or galvanized for rust protection.
