Hi Moffen, this is a late reply but we are using the Kamos to reduce the cost of gross leak testing. We are using 316 st st joints in carbon steel lines and we are torquing/tightening as per Hedley Purvis procedures. It looks a very good cost effective solution as we could re test the joint each...
Thank's to you all, based on your comments and my own preference i shall alway's be using joints and bolting once.
Just out of interest have any of you heard of KAMOS ring joints which are on the market.
Can anyone give me any guidance on how many times you can safetly re-use an octagonal ring joint. At present I am getting conflicting information and i am opening out my options.
Thanks.
