Dismantling Joint Installation

STEP 1

Selecting the correct dismantling joint.

1,The dismantling joint is divided into thrust type(also called rigid type) and non thrust type, thrust type has long bolts running through the whole dismantling joint, which can withstand the axial force.Thrust type can’t have the angle deflection. Non thrust type does not have a long bolt that runs the entire length of the dismantling joint, cannot withstand axial force, and can be angularly deflected. You need to choose according to the actual situation.

2, when we choose dismantling joint, we also need to  check dismantling joint flange at both ends (as Fig No.1 and Fig No.2) dimension can be connected with mate flanges from other pipeline components  (normally the two flanges are required to be the same design standards, so as to ensure that the two flanges are compatible. At least ensure that the dimension of the inner diameter can ensure that the sealing surface will not cause leakage, flange holes can be connected).

3, To check the dismantling joint nominal length and adjustable length, to ensure that the dismantling joint length range can meet the needs of the project.

4, To check the long bolts length of dismantling joint to ensure it is long enough to ensure it can work properly for the maximum dismantling joint length and meantime it can connect the mate flange and lock the mate flange properly.

5, To check the all parts of dismantling joint, ensure all parts are in perfect quality condition,  any parts are no loss and no defect.

6, Please note that if you choose less than 100% quantity bolts dismantling joint, the maximum working pressure that dismantling joint can afford will be less than designed.Consult judberd for the maximum working pressure .

7, Please make sure that the material and surface coating of each part of the dismantling joint are consistent with the project requirement.

STEP 2

Disassemble the nuts and washers from the two ends of dismantling joint.(As below Fig No.4)

STEP 3

Choose the correct flange gasket according to dismantling joint design standard,Nominal diameter(DN) ,  working pressure (PN) and material requirement,Flange gasket can be half face or full face.Normally half face is for raised face flange , full face is for flat face flange.Use a little glue to stick the flange gasket on flange face with the inner diameter and flange holes aligned.As below Fig No.5

STEP 4

Align the dismantling joint with the mate flanges from other pipeline parts ,to assure their flange holes can be connected properly for both ends, as below Fig No.6

STEP 5

Adjust the length of the dismantling joint (L3 as below) to the required length by adjusting the nuts (Fig No.7 as below), and then tighten all the nuts (Fig No.7 as below) to the specified torque in several times in diagonal direction with uniform force to complete the installation of the dismantling joint. Please note that since the dismantling joint is subject to axial force from the pipe, thermal expansion and contraction, as well as settlement force of the ground , the dismantling joint should be check regularly and the bolts should be re-tighten at regular intervals.
