Threaded Closures 

For forty years, Tube Turns has provided Hinged Closures for a wide range of applications such as Pipeline Scraper Traps, Pig Launchers/Receivers, Filters, Meter Provers and Pressure Vessels.

The Threaded Type Closure in sizes 2" through 12" in classes 150 through 900 has been added to our product line to provide a simple design that consists of only a head, welding hub and hinging hardware.  Tube Turns Threaded Closures are manufactured utilizing the precision of CNC machining and equipment to provide accurate and consistent dimensions.

 

SAFETY - 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.

 

OPERATIONAL ASSURANCE - 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.

 

QUALITY ASSURANCE - Tube Turns Quality Control System is in accordance with the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII, Division I, Appendix 10 and is audited by an Authorized Inspection Agency.  ASME Code Stamping and Partial Data Reports are available at the time of order at a nominal extra cost.
