When installing new valves or equipment in the middle of piping, is there a situation where you want to use welding but cannot use "open flames" or prefer not to? The "Lokring joint," which can be installed easily and quickly without using open flames, solves that problem. Since Lokring joints have been widely used in major domestic oil refineries, chemical plants, and power plants since 2012, you can adopt them with confidence without the need for verification. For specific details, please feel free to contact our representative.

We often see valves leaking steam and other fluids from the ground in factories. How are they replaced with new valves? When welding valves to pipes, it involves "hot work." In operating factories, "hot work" is often restricted. The "Lokring joint," which can be installed easily and quickly without using fire, solves this problem. Since 2012, Lokring joints have a proven track record in major domestic oil refineries, chemical plants, and power plants, so you can adopt them with confidence without the need for verification. For specific details, please feel free to contact our representative.

When repairing aging pipes, it is common to close the upstream valve. However, have you ever experienced a situation where the valve had a seat leak just at that time? Especially in the case of welding, if there is a fluid leak, construction cannot proceed. The 'Lokring joint,' which can be installed easily and quickly without using fire, solves that problem. I believe you will find it easier to understand by watching the video at the (related link). Since Lokring joints have a proven track record in major domestic oil refineries, chemical plants, and power plants since 2012, you can adopt them with confidence. If you would like to know more specific details, please feel free to contact our representative.

Finally, the "Technical Exhibition" will take place next week. Members participating in the Kihara Association's conference are encouraged to come to the venue. Please refer to the attached document for the exhibiting organizations. Our booth number is "16." Please find hints for improving piping welding. Our company will exhibit at the "Technical Exhibition" held alongside the Thermal and Nuclear Power Generation Conference (Chubu Conference) in Nagoya on October 24 this year. Date and Time: October 24, 2024 (Thursday) from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM (tentative) Venue: Nagoya International Conference Hall You will be able to see a demonstration of the "LOKRING fittings" and handle product samples. Please note that entry is limited to members only. We would be grateful if you could add this to your schedule. For more information about the Thermal and Nuclear Power Generation Conference, please check the following URL: https://www.tenpes.or.jp/M022/forums We look forward to seeing you at the exhibition venue.

Lokring fittings have obtained the following certifications related to maritime affairs: 1) NAVSEA (U.S. Navy) 2) USCG (U.S. Coast Guard) 3) Ministry of Defence (UK Ministry of Defence) 4) Lloyds (Lloyd's Register) 5) ABS (American Bureau of Shipping) If you are interested in these certifications, please contact us.

Recently, we have been seeing news about "labor shortages" and "fires and accidents." Our company can assist you in solving your piping construction problems with "Lokring fittings," which allow for easy and quick piping connections equivalent to welding without using welding (open flames). Lokring fittings have a proven track record not only overseas but also in Japan since 2012, particularly in the petrochemical and power industries. If you let us know the issues you want to resolve in piping construction, we will provide you with solutions. Please feel free to contact us.

There are many narrow spaces in the steel mill, such as "trenches," making welding work on piping difficult. Many facilities have pumps, electrical wiring, hoses, and fittings nearby, requiring protective measures for hot work, which takes time. The "downtime" until the equipment is restored leads to losses for the steel mill. In particular, hydraulic piping is easily affected by temperature, pressure, and vibration, which can cause leaks. By using Lokring fittings as an alternative to welding, access to narrow spaces is made easier due to the shape of the specialized tools. Since no open flame is used, protective measures against fire are unnecessary, reducing fire risk and significantly improving safety. The installation does not require special skills and can be completed in a short time, thereby reducing equipment downtime, enhancing productivity, and significantly lowering costs. Lokring fittings comply with ASME B31 and have performance comparable to welding, making them suitable for use under harsh conditions, thus solving many challenges associated with piping welding. I would like to introduce some representative cases. I hope this will be helpful to those involved in the reference steel mill.
