SealGuard · Industrial Sealing Systems

Zero Leakage.Absolute Confidence.

Engineered to Prevent Leaks

Sealing systems engineered to hold the line across extreme temperature, pressure, and chemistry — so your process stays inside the pipe, and nothing reaches atmosphere.

  • Pressure · 0 bar · Rising
  • TEMP · −200 → +650 °C
  • LEAK RATE · ZERO
  • Withstands extreme temperatures
  • Excellent pressure resistance
  • Chemical & corrosion resistant
  • Longer service life, low maintenance
  • Tested, quality-assured performance
The discipline of sealing

The seal is the smallest part in the system — and the one that decides whether it holds.

SealGuard exists for the joints that cannot fail — the flange on a hydrocarbon line, the shaft on a boiler-feed pump, the fitting on a cryogenic transfer. We engineer the sealing element to the exact service: media, temperature, pressure and motion. So containment is designed in, never hoped for.

From a single spiral-wound gasket to a complete cartridge seal, every component is specified, documented and traceable to the standards your inspectors sign against.

Why SealGuard

Four commitments, engineered in.

Every seal we ship is held to the same four standards — the difference between a part that fits and a joint that holds.

01

Zero Leakage

Engineered sealing geometry and material science that hold the line — joint after joint, cycle after cycle.

02

High Performance

Specified for cryogenic to incandescent service and pressures that flatten lesser seals.

03

Reliable & Durable

Long service intervals and predictable wear — uptime you can build a maintenance plan around.

04

Trusted Worldwide

Supplying critical sealing components to operators and OEMs across 30+ countries.

How a Seal WorksTHEORY

From pressure to zero leakage

A bolted flange joint in section. Scroll to drive the sequence — pressure energises the gasket and closes every path to atmosphere.

Step 1 of 4: Pressurised media. Process media fills the bore and presses outward against every face of the bolted joint.

Case studies

Reliability problems, solved at the joint.

Three engagements where the right seal — correctly specified — turned a recurring failure into a maintenance plan.

Refinery process flanges sealed with spiral-wound gasketsCase 01
Petrochemical

Zero fugitive emissions across a crude unit's critical flanges

01
Challenge

A coastal refinery was failing fugitive-emission audits on high-temperature crude and vacuum-tower flanges, with repeated re-torques and unplanned isolation eating into availability. Thermal cycling was relaxing the incumbent sheet gaskets and opening leak paths on Class 600 joints.

02
Solution

We re-specified the worst-offending joints with 316L spiral-wound gaskets using a flexible-graphite filler and inner/outer rings, matched to each flange's ASME B16.20 geometry. Every joint shipped with a torque sequence, material certification and an assembly checklist for the turnaround crew.

03
Result

The unit came back online and held leak-tight through the next two monitoring campaigns. Twenty-four months later the refinery has recorded zero reportable fugitive emissions on the upgraded joints and eliminated the re-torque cycle entirely.

From six-week pump failures to a year between interventions

01
Challenge

An aggressive acid-transfer service was destroying pump seals roughly every six weeks. Each failure meant an emergency strip-down, lost batch time and a growing reliability backlog across a bank of duty/standby pumps.

02
Solution

We replaced the component seals with balanced cartridge mechanical seals running silicon-carbide faces and PTFE-encapsulated secondary seals, plus a flush plan matched to the duty. The cartridge format removed setting error on rebuild and gave the technicians a repeatable installation.

03
Result

Mean time between failures moved from six weeks to over twelve months on the lead pumps, and mean time to repair dropped because the cartridge drops straight in. The site redeployed the maintenance hours it used to spend rebuilding seals.

Leak-tight sealing from -196°C through commissioning on an LNG train

01
Challenge

An LNG expansion needed flange and valve seals qualified for continuous cryogenic duty down to -196°C without relaxation or embrittlement, and the schedule left almost no float for material qualification.

02
Solution

We supplied spiral-wound gaskets with low-stress graphite filler alongside PTFE-encapsulated O-rings and skived graphite sheet for the cold-box joints, each backed by cryogenic test data and full material traceability. Engineering and logistics compressed delivery to hold the commissioning window.

03
Result

Every qualified joint passed helium leak testing at temperature on the first attempt. The train was commissioned on schedule and the cryogenic seals have held tight through thermal cycling since start-up.

What reliability teams tell us.

Outcomes from the people who live with the consequences of a seal — uptime, audits and runs measured in months between interventions.

We swapped to SealGuard spiral-wound gaskets across two crude units during the last turnaround. Eighteen months on, our flange monitoring program is still recording zero fugitive emissions on those joints — the first time we've cleared a TA-Luft audit without a single re-torque.
