Advantages of using KaMOS^® Patented RTJ Gasket:

• The flange is tested for leaks before the process pressure is applied
• Flanges that would not otherwise be leak or pressure tested (such as blind flanges to isolate spools) can be tested
• Certainty that the seal actually seals all contact surfaces (primary and secondary sides)
• Time of testing is significantly reduced, resulting in significantly less downtime due to leak testing
• KaMOS^® Test Equipment is simple and easy to use
• Necessary volumes of nitrogen required for testing are minimal, which means that large quantities of test medium will be saved compared with conventional leak testing
• The method can also be used for continuous monitoring of seals by equipping the annular space with an indicator of gas pressure
• The pressurization line can be used to feed in liquid sealant in case of emergency
• Future surveillance for leakages of flanged connections
• The test will offer a safety benefit and an economic benefit because at an early stage it will detect flange connections which are basically leaky
• The KaMOS^® method is DNV approved and is reported to have compared favour with conventional methods in test program run at the Statoil F&U laboratory and has over the past years been adapted for a number of projects by Total, Cameron, BP, Shell UK and many others.
