•  Techlok Clamp connectors are the Low-weight alternative :
    typically 75% weight saving when compared to conventional flanges
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
•  High performance
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
•  Reduced bolting requirements – the Techlok Clamp Connector makes use
   of 4 bolts only
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
•  Radial bolting on our clamp connector allows 360° orientation around the pipe
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
•  Quicker and easier assembly and disassembly
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
•  Easier fabrication, no bolt holes to align
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
•  The Techlok Clamp Connector does not rely on complex bolting to maintain
   seal integrity, but offers the strength of a welded joint
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
•  Techlok Clamp Connectors are the preferred solution where space, weight
    and joint integrity are critical

Save weight, save space, save the environment Techlok Clamp Connectors are the most effective and economical pipe
connection system available today.  Typically several Techlok joints can be installed in the time it takes to assemble a single standard ANSI or API flange. Conventional ANSI or API flanges with their 4 to 24 bolts require accurate alignment to ensure a seal, whereas Techlok Clamp Connectors have only four bolts, no alignment problems and require less bolt loads.

As is well known, external bending forces are an inevitable part of any piping system, resulting in high stresses being placed on pipe joints. Independent strain gauge and destructive tests have shown the Techlok clamp connector can withstand considerable bending moments/forces and axial loading under pressure without leaking or the bolts becoming loose, greatly reducing maintenance costs at the same time as being highly beneficial to the environment.
High pressure systems are not a problem, with Techlok Clamp Connectors working in applications where pressures of 60,000psi and above are found; and when it comes to offshore applications where topside loading is critical, Techlok’s low weight is a real advantage - a factor applicable in any industry where weight and overall installation cost is a consideration.
