Quickflange

A weldless flange solution

Quickflange® technology provides high performance weldless, flange to pipe connections. The patented technology is a permanent solution for improving pipeline integrity and flow assurance. Quickflange®, allows for "cold work" pipe modification with a vast range of size and pressure ratings for most applications.

Pro/con

No hot work

No welding preparation, inspection or habitat requirements

Fast repair times reducing shutdown

Permanent long-term solution

Easy to install

Less manpower required compared to a weld

Client technicans can be trained to carry out the install themselves

Can only be applied on straight sections of pipe

Specification

Accuracy Highly accurate compared to welded connections as the connection is based on groove technology allowing for more accurate cutting and replacement of spool sections.

Asset life extension Quickflange is extensively used to repair/replace corroded pipelines both onshore and offshore from sizes ¾” through to 14”.

Compliance DNV certified, ABS Type Approved. ASME Code compliant (Flange) and B31.3 (Offshore Piping Code) 95% of the flanges sold are ASME B16.5 standard. EEMUA 145 for CuNi.

Cost Cost effective solution | Reduced manpower | Higly efficient | Fast turnarounds with “off the shelf” product available.

Lifespan Permanent solution for improving pipeline integrity and flow assurance.

Pressure class Quickflange is type approved from #150 through to #600 however we have and can provide solutions up to #1500. The most common applications are typically #150 and #300

Repairs Can be used on pipelines to address corrosion issues by cutting and installing a new pipe spool.

Repeatability ICR.IAS JV has installed over 6,500 weldless connections in a range of size and pressure ratings.

Safety No hot work.

Speed Shorter installment times when compared to welding.
