BRC Series edge-welded metal bellows seals are exceptionally robust and designed to seal high-temperature hydrocarbons, heat transfer fluids and severe services in refineries and hydrocarbon processing plants. The BRC series is fully compliant with API 682 Type C requirements and features thick-plate Alloy 718 bellows convolutions for superior corrosion resistance.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

  • API 682 Pressure: up to 20.7 bar (300 psi)

  • API 682 Temperature: -73°C to 427°C (-100°F to 800°F)

  • API 682 Speed: up to 23 m/s (75 fps)

  • API 682 Sizes: 28.2 to 150 mm (1.110 to 5.906 inches)

  • Longer service life ensure by the use of edge-welded, thick-plate Alloy 718 bellows that comply with NACE MR0103 criteria and can withstand long-term chemical exposure

  • Reliability resulting from the canned face design that eliminates shrink-fit distortions and allows low-leakage performance

  • Prolonged clean operation (on stationary configurations) due to steam purge baffle that eliminates coking

  • Configurable with a rotating or stationary bellows to fit a wide range of high temperature application needs

  • OIL & GAS: Downstream Processing
