High Pressure Non-Oring Closures
High Pressure Non-Oring Closures
(OP)
I'm looking for closure types that do not use o-ring seals. Specifically quick-opening Graylok, LTS style, etc. I can't use blind flanges, GD style, Tube turn style. Modco closures are limited to "lower pressures".
Vessel will be 30" dia, and designed for 3000 psig (2500 ANSI). We have built numerous vessels for this client, and all have used TubeTurns, GD, or BF closures, but the client is trying to get away from o-ring seals.
Any recommendations or similar experiences?

Have you considered these?

Can't say that I've seen one in real life but I know several exchangers at various refineries have been installed or are being built with this type of closure for high pressure applications.
