FI40 Flange Facer Achieves 1,000+ Flawless ASME Repairs for Sinopec
Since its deployment last autumn, the FI40 Portable Flange Facing Machine has served as a high-throughput asset at a major petrochemical facility. Operating under demanding turnaround conditions, the machine has consistently resurfaced up to 12 industrial flanges per day.
To date, the FI40 has successfully executed over one thousand in-situ flange face restorations. Every single repaired asset has achieved absolute geometric flatness, fully satisfying the rigid sealing specifications mandated by the ASME B16.5 standard.
Client Testimonial: Sinopec Construction Operations
"We are thoroughly impressed by the structural stability and long-term durability of the FI40. It handles every flange profile within its processing range with workshop-grade precision," stated Mr. Li, Construction Manager at Sinopec.
"The high-torque electric servo drive system was a game-changer for us, completely solving our on-site pneumatic constraints due to limited air supply. With our piping installation project scheduled for a two-year duration, this machine is vital to keeping our timeline on track. Moving forward, we intend to procure additional portable machine tools from MT to expand our specialized equipment fleet."
The FI40 continues to prove its value as an indispensable tool for large-scale energy infrastructure projects, offering field-proven reliability when deadlines matter most.
