Maintaining pipeline integrity and keeping emissions in check has never been more important.
As we drill deeper and utilize enhanced recovery methods such as thermal and CO2 injection, we are exposing the products in our pipelines to greater concentrations of harsh chemicals, higher temperatures and higher pressures. Traditional pipeline materials, including gaskets and seals, are not always up to the challenge.
The Evolution® is a fully-encapsulated isolation gasket that delivers the impermeable performance needed to prepare any flange for the increasing risks found in today’s oil and gas industry. The thinner, 1/8” (3mm) design minimizes the difficulties often encountered while attempting to install thicker isolating gaskets. The total encapsulation allows the gasket to be hydro-tested and kept in the pipeline with virtually no loss in isolation properties. No longer do you have the permeation issues or chemical attack that plagues GRE gaskets. This innovative gasket is coated using a GPT proprietary material designed specifically for the oil and gas industry that is extremely abrasion and impact resistant.
