Threaded Closures meet ASME Section VIII, Division I requirements. Each Threaded Closure has a pressure-warning device to alert the operator of any internal pressure in the pipe or vessel before opening the head. Also, the O-ring gasket seal is broken before the Hub/Head ACME Threads are completely disengaged which allows pressure to bleed and provides additional warning to the operator of existing internal pressure.
To assure that the Threaded Closure will consistently open and close easily, Tube Turns has coated the ACME Threads on the head with a Flouropolymer coating that provides corrosion resistance and solid film lubrication. This is used in combination with liberal grease on the threads to assure reliable closure operation. The Pressure Warning Device is manufactured from Stainless Steel to provide corrosion protection for this safety item.
