On-site blind flange sealing surface machining solutions

We were very pleased to meet with BOKHAR of Iran

We have had several successful cooperations before.

Mr. Fouladi's visiting was primarily to discuss on-site flange facing equipment. One particular application involved machining the sealing surface of a pressure vessel manhole cover: processing a blind plate in a confined space.

First, the machine's dimensions required access the manhole to enter the pressure vessel; second, its ability to be mounted on the blind plate; and finally, the required rotational diameter of the flange facer to operate within the confined space.

We recommended using a manual flange facer or the new pneumatically driven FI610P flange repair machine, which with a minimum rotation of 515mm only. It not only allows for smooth access through the manhole, but also can rotate within confined spaces and it is pneumatically driven. For mounting on the blind plate, we recommended welding. Mr. Fouladi, a highly experienced engineer, agreed with our proposal and praised our extensive industry experience.

We also discussed heat exchanger sealing surface machining. We showed Mr. Fouladi a recent job we had completed, facing the front of a heat exchanger's sealing surface and the back facing of the tubesheet. Through the video presentation, Mr. Fouladi expressed strong interest in our 3000mm on-site flange machining equipment, which includes the tube sheet mounting backing plate, backing facing tool holder, and all the necessary equipment. We agreed to provide a quote for this equipment once the heat exchanger dimensions are finalized.

During the visit, we also introduced our stainless steel pipe cutting machines and tube sheet welding machines. Since BOKHAR manufactures petroleum and petrochemical equipment, they expressed strong interest.
