Revolutionizing Seal Integrity Repair: Discover the New RTJ Guard
The RTJ Guard stands out as one of our flagship offerings, leveraging our extensive portfolio of tried-and-true products and services. It provides a rapid and cost-effective solution for leaks, galvanic corrosion, and other common issues associated with RTJ (ring type joint) flanges.
Developed and tested in collaboration with one of the world’s largest offshore operators, the RTJ Guard’s single sealing mechanism is compatible with a wide variety of flowing media, including hydrocarbons, seawater, and more.
Live System Repairs
The RTJ Guard allows for the repair of RTJ flanges on live systems without interrupting flow or processes, ensuring full production and operational continuity.
Compact Design
Its small footprint minimizes interference with surrounding structures and equipment.
Enhanced Support
Segmented structural inserts provide support and even loading around bolts.
Gas Tight Seal
The RTJ Guard features a single seal tested to over 5000 PSI (345 bar), ensuring gas-tight integrity.
Quick Installation
Extremely efficient, the RTJ Guard takes less than 20 minutes per joint on average.
Lightweight Design
Weighing under 10 kg for the 3” version, it’s easy to install and reduces stress on the flange compared to other solutions, both in weight and separation forces.
Versatile Repair Solution
The RTJ Guard can be used as either a temporary or permanent repair solution.
Flexible Options
Rental and purchase options are available, providing flexibility for asset owners and contractors.
The RTJ Guard is designed for safe operation by site personnel, with straightforward training provided by our IK Topside team. Each RTJ Guard can be supplied as a complete kit, including all necessary tools and an operational procedure to ensure safe installation.
Whether used as a temporary fix or a permanent sealing reinforcement, the typical installation for a 3” four-bolt flange takes less than a third of an hour. This allows for safe, efficient, and cost-effective repairs without requiring a shutdown, significantly reducing turnaround times.
