About this product

BRC Series edge-welded metal bellows seals are exceptionally robust and designed to seal high-temperature hydrocarbons, heat transfer fluids and severe services in refineries and hydrocarbon processing plants. The BRC series is fully compliant with API 682 Type C requirements and features thick-plate Alloy 718 bellows convolutions for superior corrosion resistance.

Features and Benefits

Longer service life ensure by the use of edge-welded, thick-plate Alloy 718 bellows that comply with NACE MR0103 criteria and can withstand long-term chemical exposure
Reliability resulting from the canned face design that eliminates shrink-fit distortions and allows low-leakage performance
Prolonged clean operation (on stationary configurations) due to steam purge baffle that eliminates coking
Configurable with a rotating or stationary bellows to fit a wide range of high temperature application needs
