LPG flange leak

Thread Content

Hello everyone, I have a question: if there is a leak in the LPG flange and no suitable clamps can be found to seal it, then it’s not possible to apply glue. What should be done in such a situation? Urgent! Thank you

Plugging leaks under pressure is possible; clamps are made according to the dimensions of the flange, and once installed, pressure is applied to the clamps to inject glue. Once the glue has solidified, there will be no more leaks.

Reply to 5# liuzp308: Make the clamp by yourself; use a steel plate that is 5 mm thick. Secure it with screws on one side. The length of the steel plate should be equal to the perimeter of the flange, while its width should correspond to the thickness of the two flanges. Drill several holes evenly along the center line of the steel plate, with a diameter of around 5 mm. Weld M5 nuts to the sides of these holes, which will be used to fill in any leaks. First, clamp this steel plate clip onto the leaking flange and secure it with strong screws. Then, use pressure-based leak-sealing equipment to inject sealant into each hole until no more can be added; immediately tighten the nut with a screw, and repeat the process. It’s done.
