For those struggling with pipe welding construction, here is a solution introduction.

We have received positive feedback that, due to the ability to carry out construction in bad weather and any situation, we can prevent delays in the project and reduce the waiting time for workers.

The "LOKRING joint" is a fitting that can be installed in any weather and under any circumstances, preventing construction delays and reducing worker waiting time, which has received positive feedback. Since it is installed using a dedicated hydraulic tool without the use of open flames, it is not affected by rain or wind. There are even cases of it being used underwater. When piping is adjacent to walls, ceilings, or floors, the dedicated tool for the "LOKRING joint" is U-shaped, allowing easy access from any direction without moving the pipes, even in tight spaces. This is particularly effective when it is in contact with the main pipe, such as in steam tracing piping. Installation can be done even when fluid is flowing. For example, when repairing downstream piping, the upstream stop valve is closed, but sometimes debris on the valve seat can cause a seat leak, resulting in a small amount of fluid flow. The "LOKRING joint" can be installed even if there is some leakage from the joint or piping, as long as it can be secured to the piping. *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.*

Utilized in major oil refineries, chemical plants, and (thermal/nuclear) power plants! Construction time is less than 1/10, allowing for shortened construction periods and cost reductions.

Generally, pipe welding within a plant requires welding permit applications, draining of pipes, flushing and drying, installation of leak detectors, securing and scheduling of welding personnel, and other tasks that are time-consuming and costly. Additionally, the installation and dismantling of scaffolding, installation of ventilation equipment, fireproofing, and installation of fire extinguishing equipment are necessary, which can make rapid repairs difficult. The "LOKRING fitting" does not use fire, requires no preparation or procedures before and after installation, and can be easily and quickly installed by anyone after just a few hours of training, allowing for significant reductions in construction time and overall installation costs. For inquiries, we will introduce case photos and videos. Please feel free to contact us. 【Benefits of Introduction】 ■ No use of fire: No need for fireproofing, eliminating the risk of fire and explosion ■ Installation time is about 1/10 of welding: Shortened construction period ■ Usable for repairs of existing corroded pipes ■ Simple and quick installation: Minimizes equipment downtime ■ Permanent connection: No maintenance or repairs needed after installation ■ No equipment, facilities, or procedures required for welding ■ No need for purging or cleaning of pipes ■ U-shaped dedicated tool: Allows for pipe installation in narrow spaces

Anyone can easily and quickly perform reliable construction equivalent to welding, contributing to quality improvement and maintenance.

The "LOKRING fitting" is a joint that anyone can easily and quickly install at a level equivalent to welding. Therefore, it can solve the problem of "the lack of successors in an era where the inheritance of technology is not progressing as hoped, leading to a decline in technical skills (quality)." Since it does not require heating work, it is also expected to reduce the accident rate related to OSHA. For those who inquire, we will provide an introduction including videos. Please feel free to contact us. 【Benefits of Implementation】 ■ No equipment, facilities, or procedures required for welding ■ Installation time is about 1/10 that of welding: shortened construction period ■ Can also be used for repairs of existing corroded pipes ■ Simple and quick installation: minimizes equipment downtime ■ Permanent connection: no maintenance or repairs needed after installation ■ No need for pipe purging or cleaning ■ U-shaped dedicated tool: allows pipe installation in narrow spaces ■ No use of fire: no need for protective measures, eliminating the risk of fire or explosion *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.

Welding uses fire, so safety is a concern. We provide peace of mind and address such worries.

The "LOKRING fitting" is a fitting that reduces fire risk and enhances safety because it does not use open flames. Since there is no heating work involved, it leads to a decrease in the incidence of accidents related to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). We have also received positive feedback for eliminating all costs associated with welding. For those inquiring, we will provide an introduction including videos.

―― Is attendance management becoming a "burden" without you realizing it? A seminar to quickly learn about common issues and their solutions ―― We will be holding our attendance management web seminar in October, which takes place several times a year! The content is new, so whether you have participated in our webinars before or not, please feel free to join us. Date and Time: October 15 (Wednesday) 13:00- October 22 (Wednesday) 11:00- *Both days will cover the same content *Please check the link below for registration. In this seminar, we will recreate common situations in the workplace in a short drama format for easy understanding, and introduce specific solutions to each issue. This content is especially recommended for those who think, "I'm not struggling now, but I want to know information for the future." Common workplace "situations" can be a trigger for improvement. We will clearly present the challenges and countermeasures of attendance management. Recommended for: ❏ Those who take a long time to compile monthly attendance ❏ Those who tend to postpone compliance with legal revisions ❏ Those who currently have no major complaints but want to know hints for improvement ❏ Those who want to refer to initiatives and examples from other companies

On Monday, September 22, the Japan Meteorological Agency announced its three-month forecast for October to December. Due to the continued influence of conditions similar to the La Niña phenomenon until around December, the westerly winds are expected to flow more to the north than usual from October to early November, making it likely that warm air will cover the entire country. From late November to December, the westerly winds are expected to meander southward near Japan, and there may be periods when the winter pressure pattern strengthens. In December, the region is likely to be affected by cold air, and temperatures in western and eastern Japan are expected to be around or lower than the average for the season.
