POLYFLURON lined parts from Dr. Schnabel
We provide global support for safe and economical handling of your corrosive media. The basis for our products and solutions is POLYFLURON, which continues to perform safely when other plastics have long since reached their limits.
Your benefits
- Tested
Performance parameters at specific design temperatures are simulated and confirmed by tests,no extrapolation necessary for our expansion joints - Safe
Superior POLYFLURON quality enables high fibrillation, low void content and optimum crystallinity - Flexible
Our expansion joints offer you maximum flexibility with up to 10 convolutions, a diameter of up to 1800 mm and are additionally available with vacuum support rings made of CFRC
FLUROFLEX® expansion joints
FLUROFLEX expansion joints are also used to absorb oscillations and vibrations – for instance those generated by pumps – because of its low susceptibility to material fatigue and the complete absence of brittle fracture.
Our expansion joints are based on POLYFLURON PTFE and mainly installed in steel- and PTFE-lined steel pipelines, enamel/ glass-lined pipelines and plastic and fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) pipelines. Because of their flexibility and low spring rates, they are also used in sensitive plant components with enamel finishes, in FRP and graphite process equipment and graphite heat exchangers.

DIABON rupture disks
SGL Carbon´s rupture disks are made exclusively from DIABON graphite material, PFA (fluoroplastic), PTFE or SIGRAFLEX® graphite foil. These materials are notable for their high resistance to a large number of aggressive media.
Several variants of rupture disks are available to serve your special purposes e. g. Series HT for highest temperatures up to 300 °C or Series F with PFA coating for thigh temperature, vacuum and food applications.
Your benefits
- Independant
Bursting pressure remains constant across the full temperature range - Variable
Available in many designs and material options for multiple process conditions (e.g. vacuum, food and pharma application) - Safe
Pressure release across the entire aperture due to cermic properties of DIABON graphite; visual and acustic alarm systems are available - On short call
Rupture disks are available from stock in many sizes and designs - Reliable
Conversely, our rupture disks made of synthetic resin-impregnated graphite (series N, D and DV) do show influence of temperature, but this occurs only above 50 °C. Yet, their reliability is clearly higher in comparison to metal disks, as DIABON graphite rupture disks exhibit a much smaller drop in bursting pressure with a rise in temperature.

More control – more reliability
Our rupture disks, made of high-grade graphite for process equipment, steadily burst at the rated pressure. Due to the homogenous structure of the material, constant strength is maintained all over the disk, only rupturing when pressure reaches the critical value.
Ring flanges for additional safety
On request, our disks (series N, F and HT) can be supplied with a carbon fiber-reinforced ring flange. This reduces the risk of rupture due to assembly errors and minimizes the likelihood of media escaping after the safety disk is released.
Instant release of pressure
A further major advantage lies in the optimized brittleness of the material. Thanks to this, our DIABON graphite rupture disks instantly free the entire pressure release aperture on bursting.
Resisting temperature rises
While the conformity to rated bursting pressures in metal rupture disks generally declines as temperature rises, our disk series F and HT remain unaffected by heat. The mechanical strength of the disks doesn’t alter over the entire permissible temperature range.
Tayson KLETT® Spray Guard
Tayson KLETT® spray guards (pipe safety tapes or flange guards) are the perfect solutions to prevent from harmful spray-outs from failing pipe joints. Protection for operation personnel and equipment is ensured by an extremely easy and quick assembly by our hook-and-loop fastener design.
In case of pipe flange failure, the spray guard deflects the spray of media and in doing so reduces the line pressure to atmospheric. An uncontrolled spray out of the dangerous media over a wide area in the plant will be prevented. For more than 20 years this flange guard is well established in the industry.
Your benefits

One-Fits-All: Economic 50-meter bulk material (rolled tape) applicable for multiple flange types and diameter. Just cut, wrap & fix. - Safe
Polypropylene material: Good chemical resistance, very long lifetime, UV- and impact resistant & ideal for explosion-protected area (electric screwdriver not required) - On short call
Flange guards are available from stock. - Wide application range
Flange surface temperatures from -40°C to 110°C and flange diameter from DN25 to DN600
