On-site Machining Story 126 in 2024

Time is the Key Factor in On-Site Machining

Inspection of flange sealing surfaces is a critical step for pressure vessel manufacturers before shipment. Any damage to the sealing surfaces can render the vessel unable to meet sealing requirements upon delivery, causing costly and time-consuming rework at the customer’s site. Such delays can not only double repair costs but also risk losing the customer’s trust.

Last week, one of our partners faced a similar challenge. Just a day before shipment, during a final inspection of flange sealing surfaces, they discovered that 10 flanges did not meet sealing standards. These damages were caused by minor impacts during spraying and hoisting processes, despite thorough protective measures. Faced with this urgent situation, the partner immediately contacted our team with the flange dimensions and repair requirements.

Our field machining team arrived on-site within an hour, equipped with the FI14M Manual Flange Facing Machine. Within just three hours, all the damaged flanges were repaired, ensuring the pressure vessel was ready for on-time delivery. As shown in the image of the smiling customer, their satisfaction with the quick and effective response was evident.
