FI40E On-Site Flange Facing Machine Sets New Standard in Portable Precision Machining   Wuxi, China – June 2025 — As industrial sectors such as oil & gas, power generation, and petrochemical refining demand faster and more accurate on-site repairs, MT Portable Machine's FI40E On-Site Flange Facing Machine is redefining how critical sealing surfaces are restored in the field. Engineered for durability, portability, and micron-level accuracy, the FI40E offers the perfect combination of performance and field reliability. The FI40 series is designed for internal mounting, targeting flanges from 6 to 40 inches (153–1000 mm) in diameter, with an ID mounting range of 145–910 mm. A 102 mm (4") tool post travel supports comprehensive facing and boring operations, while six continuous feed rates allow operators to meet ASME B16.5 gramophone finish requirements—including flat face (FF), raised face (RF), ring-type joint (RTJ), and complex groove profiles such as V-grooves and lens rings.   Customers can choose between two drive configurations:   FI40P: Powered by a Modec pneumatic motor (2.2 Hp / 1.7 kW), delivering 10–33 rpm at 1.8 m³/min @ 0.6 MPa—ideal for ATEX and explosive work zones.   FI40E: Driven by a Panasonic servo motor (2.0 Hp / 1.5 kW), offering variable speeds from 0–40 rpm for precision control in workshop or plant shutdown settings.   What makes the FI40E flange facing machine stand out in the field machining world is its premium mechanical foundation. It incorporates NSK high-precision bearings and a hardened "V" linear guide system to ensure low-vibration, high-accuracy cutting even in extended operations. The 360° rotating tool post provides unmatched flexibility for machining sealing grooves and custom surface profiles.   Setup is quick and accurate thanks to three quick-set base options, each featuring micro-adjustable jaws for perfect centering. Whether the flange is horizontal, vertical, or upside down, the FI40’s low center of gravity ensures machining stability. Its modular frame design enhances portability and ease of transport.   The FI40E unit weighs 350 kg and is shipped in a rugged steel storage crate (1250×640×775 mm), designed to withstand harsh site conditions. A waterproof, impact-resistant case protects the machine during transport and long-term storage.   Lisa Sun, Technical Director at MT Portable Machine, commented: “Our clients rely on machines that reduce downtime and deliver consistent results. The FI40E flange facing tool meets those needs—backed by intelligent design, industrial-grade components, and a field-proven track record.”   Field-tested in refineries, chemical plants, offshore rigs, and nuclear stations, the FI40E continues to prove its value as a go-to solution for on-site flange resurfacing, weld overlay repair, and precision finishing. It blends portability, ruggedness, and CNC-grade accuracy—making it a top-tier choice for mission-critical maintenance.

RTJ Flange Repair – On-Site Ring Type Joint Flange Machining   RTJ flanges (Ring Type Joint) are widely used in high-pressure and high-temperature piping systems, making them a standard choice for API specification flanges. Typical applications include oilfield valves, pipeline systems, pressure vessels, and other critical industrial joints where leak-free performance is essential. Unlike flat face (FF) or raised face (RF) flanges, RTJ flanges use a metal ring gasket seated in a precisely machined groove to form a metal-to-metal seal. Key Characteristics of RTJ Flanges   Use solid metal ring gaskets instead of soft composite gaskets Feature a precision-machined groove to locate the gasket Create a metal-to-metal seal when compressed Softer gasket material flows into the harder flange surface for sealing Designed to resist over-tightening, vibration, and movement These features make RTJ flanges ideal for demanding operating conditions. On-Site RTJ Flange Groove Machining   RTJ groove dimensions must comply with ASME B16.5 standards. This work can be performed on-site using portable flange facing machines, eliminating the need for flange removal and reducing downtime.   MT Portable Machines flange facers are designed to machine RTJ grooves without additional optional attachments, ensuring efficient and accurate on-site repair. RTJ Machining Capabilities Portable flange facing machines typically use one of two axial feed systems to create the required 23° sealing faces:   Automatic axial feed Ideal for precision RTJ machining and long-duration work. Typical models: FI40, FI60, FI80 Striker (kick-feed) axial feed Axial movement is controlled by a striker mechanism or manually by the operator. Typical models: FE12, FI26   Both systems also support manual feed for fine adjustments.

FI60E Flange Facing Machine Restores Flange Integrity at Pressure Vessel Manufacture At the beginning of 2025, our team delivered a state-of-the-art FI60E flange facing machine to a customer based in Hangzhou, China. The customer specializes in pressure vessel manufacturing and was facing a critical challenge with flange welding distortion. This distortion had caused severe deviations in the flatness of the sealing faces, making it impossible to meet the required sealing standards for their pressure vessels. The customer urgently needed a solution to repair these flanges and restore their integrity. The Challenge: Flange Distortion and Sealing Face Repair The customer's pressure vessel production involved large, heavy-duty flanges, and during the welding process, certain flanges suffered from thermal distortion, resulting in misalignment and an unacceptable flatness of the sealing faces. These distortions posed a significant risk to the integrity and safety of the pressure vessels, and without the right equipment to correct the issue, production could be delayed. After discussing the customer's needs with their technical team, our engineers identified that the flanges in question typically had sealing face diameters of 1.5 meters or smaller. Based on this, we recommended our FI60E flange facing machine, which is designed to repair sealing faces ranging from 320mm to 1500mm in diameter. The FI60E is particularly well-suited for their operation, as it can efficiently restore the sealing face flatness of smaller flanges—something the customer was experiencing on a regular basis. Solution: Tailored Service with a Maintenance Contract The customer required an immediate and cost-effective solution for routine flange repair. Given that they only occasionally required repairs for flanges with diameters larger than 1.5 meters, we proposed a framework agreement that would cover all their flange repair needs for an entire year. This included a guaranteed service response time of just three days for any large-diameter flange repairs. With this contract in place, the customer no longer had to worry about lengthy negotiations for each repair job. The fixed pricing ensured that any large-flange repairs would be completed promptly, allowing the customer to focus on their core manufacturing processes without delays. This type of framework agreement has become increasingly popular among end-users, as it eliminates the need for time-consuming price discussions. Instead of worrying about potential cost overruns or project delays, customers can rest assured that the repair services will be carried out swiftly and at a predictable cost. This predictable service model not only speeds up the repair process but also helps prevent unforeseen maintenance delays that can disrupt production timelines. FI60E Flange Facing Machine: A Reliable Tool for Flange Restoration The FI60E flange facing machine is an advanced piece of equipment designed for the demanding conditions of on-site machining in industries such as pressure vessel manufacturing, petrochemical, and oil & gas. With its precision and portability, the FI60E is capable of restoring flanges to their original specifications, ensuring that sealing faces meet strict flatness and surface finish standards. This is essential for ensuring the safe and reliable operation of pressure vessels. The FI60E’s versatility also makes it suitable for a wide range of applications beyond flange facing. It can be used for flange resurfacing, seal surface repairs, and other critical tasks that require accuracy and efficiency. Its compact design makes it easy to transport and set up on-site, reducing downtime and enhancing productivity.
