FlangeMate Misalignment Connector
The Oil States FlangeMate Misalignment Connector is a highly engineered product that facilitates the connection of flanged tie-ins for underwater pipelines. The FlangeMate allows for 10 degrees of angular misalignment (20° total misalignment), bolt-hole alignment and metal-to-metal sealing. Metal-to-metal sealing is repeatable and can be verified via an annulus test port.
Key Features
- Angular misalignment of 10° (20° total misalignment).
- Bolt-hole rotation aligns bolt holes with those of the weld neck flange to facilitate quick makeup.
- Repeatable metal-to-metal seal that can be verified via annulus test port.
- Enhanced wiper seal system to isolate the metal sealing area from contaminants.
- Designed to accommodate high-capacity flange spreader loading.
