Testable ASME Ring Joint flange?
Testable ASME Ring Joint flange?
(OP)
I am looking for a testable seal ring for ASME B16.5 6", 8", 10" and 12" 1500# flanges with a ring joint (grooved flanges and metal ring gasket). I would need to test the joint after the connections are assembled to verify the pressure integrity. A hydrostatic (or any other fluid) pressure test of the assembly is not possible as the line does not have pressure barriers on either end.
Any contacts or suggestions will be apprectaited.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide,
Chris.

This company has made items for similar situations (assembled launchers and choke bodies) where hydro is needed prior to final installation. www.ltsusa.com.
