A detail of our proprietary AccuGrind Process

A competitor's ceramic lined pipe that failed because the ceramic lining was not flush with the flange sealing surface.

Failure caused by slurry eroding the flange sealing surface (ceramic removed)

Every flanged product undergoes our proprietary AccuGrind finish grinding process.  This process ensures that the ceramic lining is exactly flush with the flange sealing surface.  This is an important feature since the flange gasket is allowed to seal against the ceramic as well as the flange sealing surface, thereby increasing sealing effectiveness and durability.

Other manufacturers allow up to 0.125″ of length difference between the ceramic lining and flange sealing surface.  In aggressive services, the media erodes the flange sealing surface and causes catastrophic failure of the piping.
