FLANGETRAK® - HOW IT WORKS
FlangeTrak® is one of the areas in which INTEGRA Technologies maintains significant competitive advantages over other suppliers. These advantages result from our single-minded focus on solving flange leak problems - rather than merely fixing the symptoms.

Unlike other suppliers that provide only a limited range of services, INTEGRA's FlangeTrak® process combines a complete package of services that are essential to properly manage the Total Joint Integrity process. Because of broader on-the-job expertise, we have been on the leading edge of several important industry developments.
  • We introduced Hydraulic Bolt Tensioning to North America and we are the largest supplier of this advanced service.
  • We introduced the use of ECHOTM to the international petrochemical industry-and we are the world's largest provider of Ultrasonic Load Measurement services.
  • We originated Hydraulic Nut-Splitting technology as a means of significantly speeding up the break-out of flange faces.
  • We are the only company that provides a continuous quality improvement program that combines Fugitive Emissions Monitoring with flange maintenance services.
  • Combining advanced technology with superior expertise, we developed the FlangeTrak® Leak Prevention Process - a computerized Total Quality Management approach which provides permanent on-site solutions to prevent leaks.

The genuine cost savings generated by these five exclusive INTEGRA advantages are potentially huge, especially as they relate to:

  • Speeding up critical path operations during scheduled maintenance and new plant construction; and
  • Prevention of unscheduled work stoppages caused by leaks
Our leak prevention expertise evolved out of INTEGRA's long and close association with world leaders in the research, design, development and application of sealing solutions for offshore oil rigs. This unforgiving environment spawned the zero- tolerance for leaks that INTEGRA has incorporated into our FlangeTrak® Process.

By totally controlling every step in the scheduled flange maintenance process we are able to totally control the outcome. It is a seamless process of quality control that begins with focused engineering analysis and ends with 100% leak prevention.

The following briefly outlines the main elements of the FlangeTrak® Leak Prevention Process. It is a system of Total Quality Management that is applied to each and every sealed joint that is included in the program.

Steps in the FlangeTrak® Process
  • Client consultation to define scheduled maintenance requirements;
  • Detailed engineering analysis of all project elements;
  • Establishment of detailed specifications for each sealed assembly covering specific technical requirements for flange, gasket, bolts, bolt loadings etc.;
  • Development of comprehensive procedures covering specific tooling and assembly procedures;
  • Assignment of competent, certified supervisors and operators;
  • Verified proof of conformance at each significant step in the process;
  • Extensive documentation and comprehensive final report; and
  • 100% leak prevention

FlangeTrak® saves both time and money by preventing leaks before they happen.
