Lower Cost | Welded vs. Mechanical Joints for Rubber-Lined Pipe
Lower Cost than Flanged Connections
The Joint Lock Ring™ system allows for standard full-penetration welds. Welded joints are less costly than flanged connections at every step ─ no flange and bolting costs; shop fabrication and rubber lining costs are significantly lower; installation is quicker because bolt re-tightening and field fit-up time are reduced or eliminated. And, no joint maintenance required!
Reduce the cost of pipelines by up to 30% with Joint Lock.
