ProTek™ Fire & Blast Protection Flange Covers

TECHNICAL INTEGRITY, ZERO MAINTENANCE, LOW LIFE COST

ProTek™ flange covers are designed and

engineered to protect ANSI flanges and compact
flanges from failure due to the effects of blast
followed by hydrocarbon jet fire. The protection
cover also ensures that the flange bolts are fully
protected throughout the duration of the jet fire.

The covers can be provided to meet a range of

different blast and jet fire scenarios and to fit to
the full range of standard flange sizes.

The flange covers are manufactured using

lightweight ProTek™ composite technology
that has been used on several hundred
equipment enclosures currently installed on
onshore plants and offshore installations
in UK, Norway and
the rest of the world.

The ProTek™ flange covers are designed for use in

harsh environments encountered offshore with no
degradation in performance offering a low lifecycle
cost for 30 year design life.

ProTek™ Fire & Blast Protection Flange Covers

TECHNICAL INTEGRITY, ZERO MAINTENANCE, LOW LIFE COST
ProTek™ flange covers provide inherent thermal
insulation, fire protection and noise reduction
characteristics in accordance with NORSOK
R-004 Classes 5, 6, 7 and 8. Certification of the
product is carried out by Det Norske Veritas (DNV)
or Lloyd’s Register and is based upon full scale
blast testing up to 1.5 barg overpressure and jet
fire testing carried out for more than 2 hours.
ProTek™ flange covers enclose a pipe flange
and bolts and are located upon the pipeline so
that there is no requirement to attach the covers
directly to the flanges themselves. The structural
properties of the durable ProTek™ composite
laminate support the blast and fire loads.

The ProTek™ flange covers are designed to

incorporate earthing straps for connection across
the pipe flanges. The covers are supplied as two
semi-circular mouldings with a simple bolted
connection that permits rapid assembly on site;
the design also allows rapid dismantling and
reassembly of the ProTek™ covers for planned
maintenance inspection of the pipe flanges.
