Solon Manufacturing Co. has a new liquefied natural gas (LNG)/cryogenic flange calculator that is a useful product selection tool designed to calculate the recommended Belleville springs and washers needed in LNG and cryogenic applications where cold temperatures and corrosion are factors in process leaks and fugitive emissions.
Customers simply complete the fields with information relative to their application and Solon’s calculator will automatically filter the selection to recommend Solon Flange Washers that meet specific requirements. The LNG/Cryogenic Flange calculator is here.
Similar product selection tools aimed for minimizing bolt preload loss and reducing fugitive emissions with high temperature flange live loading and valve and process leaks can be found in Solon resource library. The Washer calculator tool is here.
