GPT
GPT, a division of EnPro Industries, is the world’s leading manufacturer of critical pipeline sealing and electrical isolation products. Advanced engineering and manufacturing processes are employed to meet the challenging demands of the oil and gas, water/wastewater, and construction and infrastructure industries.
WHY USE GPT?
GPT casing end seals are:
- Safe, clean and cost-effective
- Suitable for new installations or retrofitting
- Easily and quickly installed
- Highly resistant to aging and have excellent mechanical strength.
GPT flange isolation (insulation) products are constructed of premium engineering materials.
The purpose of the isolating sleeves is to electrically separate the bolts from each side of the flange, while the isolating washers provide electrical isolation for each of the nuts attached to the bolts. This method of isolation provides the user with a high-reliability solution to complete the electrical isolation of a flanged joint.
EVOLUTION™
This innovative, fully encapsulated isolating gasket is coated using a GPT proprietary material designed specifically for the oil and gas industry that is extremely abrasion and impact resistant. The coating is also chemically resistant to attack from H₂S, steam, CO, CO₂, and other chemicals found in oil and gas pipelines. The total encapsulation allows the gasket to be hydro-tested and kept in the pipeline with virtually no loss in isolation properties. EVOLUTION™ provides the highest pressure rating of any isolating gasket available
Flange Isolation Kits are designed to work in conjunction with our isolating gaskets to effect the complete electrical isolation of a flanged assembly.
GPT also offers an extensive line of hole-forming products including sleeves, wall collar products and hole forming disks.
Piko-Lube is a non-metallic lubricant contains a blend of extreme-pressure additives, water-resistant properties, and rust and corrosion inhibitors in a high-performance carrier to provide protection up to 2400° F (1315° C).
Piko-Lube™ is comprised of molybdenum disulfide, graphite and other solids to ensure maximum performance under the most extreme conditions. It is used in all industries subject to electrical isolation, corrosion, extreme heat and extreme pressure.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
- Non-conductive lubricant, no heavy metals
- Withstands extreme pressure conditions
- Has no hazardous ingredient per OSHA 29, CFR 1910.1200
- Lowers friction and reduces torque
- Compatible with stainless steel and nickel alloys
- -300° to 2400° F (-184° to 1315° C)
*Appropriate for all industries where electrical isolation, corrosion, extreme heat and extreme pressure can affect sealing integrity.
