 Taper-Lok®’s
excellent features compliment the Power Generation market
in many ways like Fuel Line Distribution and Main Stream
Service, for example.
Reasons for using a Taper-Lok® flange connection
within this market include:
- Taper-Lok® standard connections give 2-degree
axial misalignment while maintaining its full integrity.
- Taper-Lok® requires 25,000 psi compared to the
60,000 psi of a standard ANSI or API flange.
- Taper-Lok® offers a wide area-type contact seal
unlike a line, point, or lens type seal.
- The durability of a wide area-type seal, along
with lighter bolt load requirements, allows Taper-Lok®
seal rings to be reusable many times.
- Taper-Lok® connections are designed to use standard
bolt tensioners and have very low pre-stresses.
