Great few days at our close partners Alba Gaskets this week, carrying out testing for a major oil & gas company.

The goal was to establish clear guidelines for using our CORRIX® and Alba Shield seals in corroded flanges—helping operators select the best sealing solution based on the level of damage.

We ran leakage tests on flanges that were either undamaged, or had controlled defects to simulate the effect of corrosion commonly found offshore. This collaborative work will help us identify the most reliable sealing solution for each specific corroded flange scenario.
