Sessions range from 2 - 6 hours, but arecompletely customomizable to fit your specific needs. Sole emphasis on the isolating propertiesat the expense of overall sealability. Consequences of metal protrusion on isolatingproperties, as seen in spring energized seals. Emphasis exclusively on dielectric strengthrather than resistance under compressionrepresentative of bolted connection. Creep relaxation of soft sealing componentslike elastomers and PTFE. Several high-end designs rely on narrow lineseals which are more vulnerable to surfaceimperfections. Positioning of the narrow line seal is towardsthe inner diameter (ID) of the flange which isnot ideal.2. Reliance (upon compression) on the non-metallicGRE for mechanical strength is not ideal. Possible drawbacks of glass reinforced epoxy (GRE),such as permeation, chemical attack, strength and creep. Sleeve length not specific to washers, flanges andgasket thickness combination.FLEXITALLIC ISOLATION PRODUCTS3.
