Link seals play an essential role in pipeline operations, ensuring efficiency, system integrity, and safety on the job site. Whether for the oil and gas, construction, or other industrial sectors, knowing that each connection point has an airtight, watertight seal brings peace of mind and protects the longevity and performance of your pipeline networks.
At Proline Pipe Equipment, we know firsthand just how important it is to know that your seals perform as intended. From avoiding costly spills and bursts to protecting the pipes themselves against corrosion caused by slow leakage and avoiding environmental damage, we know firsthand just how important it is to know that your seals perform as intended. As one of the top manufacturers and suppliers of reliable pipeline products across Canada and North America, Proline’s premium link and wall seals help ensure your pipeline systems’ overall performance and durability.
Below, we’ll examine why quality seals matter for operational performance and the benefits of partnering with Proline. Read on to learn more.
Watertight and Gas-Tight Seals: A Non-Negotiable
As their name suggests, the main job of a link seal is to create a viable seal between connected pipe systems and to prevent the ingress of water, gas, and other contaminants into buildings and structures. High-quality seals like Proline’s model “C”, “O” and “OS-316” units provide a robust barrier that is able to stand up to varying pressure levels and outside factors that may otherwise lead to leaks or bursts. The quality of pipeline seals is always crucial, but this importance is even more paramount in environments where spillage can lead to significant damage and danger on the worksite and to the surrounding environment. Failing units can lead to serious workplace injuries, poor performance, introduce foreign contaminants to ecosystems and lead to sky-high maintenance costs that leave your crew facing long-term headaches and operational delays. Simply put, if the seal isn’t sufficient, it’s not a matter of if your pipe suffers; it’s when and how badly.
Durability and Longevity
Pipeline projects often involve installing pipe networks in harsh environments where the environment and natural landscape expose alloys to harsh conditions like extreme temperatures (both heat and cold), corrosive substances (either from the surrounding soil or materials being transported), and mechanical stressors. Proline offers link seals that are built to withstand such conditions without experiencing accelerated wear and tear thanks to their heavy-duty materials like EPDM and nitrile rubber. Investing in durable link seals reduces the need for frequent replacements and maintenance, leading to long-term cost savings.
Our modular seals are also built for permanent use and are designed to combat aging, ozone and UV damage, erosion, and more. That means you’ll get enhanced ROI and a lifecycle you can stand behind.
Flexibility and Versatility
Due to the wide range of scales, shapes, and applications, pipelines often demand flexibility and versatility from components. High-quality link seals are designed to be versatile, accommodating a range of pipe diameters and materials. This flexibility is essential for ensuring a snug fit and effective seal, regardless of the project’s specific requirements. At Proline, we know the value of variety and choice and are pleased to offer a wide range of corrosion-resistant solutions manufactured in an ISO 9001:2000 certified facility and available in 16 sizes for your convenience.
Easy Installation and Maintenance
ROI isn’t just about the quality of the product (though we know this always comes first!). Ease of installation and long-term maintenance is also essential when finding the right seal solutions for your purposes. High-grade seals prioritize operator experience and are designed to be easily installed for a secure fit without requiring specialized tools or extensive training. Routine maintenance and examination are also essential for long-term performance and avoiding costly repairs, and all proline models ensure that seals can be easily and conveniently serviced as needed.
Compliance with Industry Standards
Link seals must comply with industry standards and regulations to ensure they meet various conditions and perform as intended, reducing unnecessary workplace risks. Proline Global’s link seals are manufactured to meet or exceed these standards, providing peace of mind to our clients. Learn more about our models’ compliance abilities here.
Enhancing Overall System Integrity
Link seals are critical to overall pipeline operational efficiency. When link seals perform their function effectively, other system components operate as intended and lower the risk of leaks, failures, and other serious issues.
Quality You Can Trust
The quality of link seals is a critical factor in the success of pipeline projects. High-quality link seals, such as models offered by Proline, ensure watertight and gastight seals, provide durability and longevity, offer flexibility and versatility, facilitate easy installation and maintenance, comply with industry standards, and enhance overall system integrity.
