NORSOK NCF5
and NCF4

----------

Compact Flanges
for critical
applications
The most common connection in piping
for Oil & Gas production and processing
today is basically the ASME/ANSI type flange.
NORSOK Compact Flanges offers a
standardized tough and light alternative.

Functional Principals

Hightlights of the Compact Flange Design

Tensioning the bolting pulls the convex
flange faces together until full closure.

2.

3.

compression force in heel

area creates the first seal
beveling induces Radial Forces
in Main IX seal ring
any heel leakage will intensify the sealing
action in the IX seal
wedge closes under all design loads
protecting flange face and bolts
full cross section carrying load increased
toughness compared to ASME/ANSI flange
