Rapid Soft Cover API 6A 7 1/16" 5k# w/8 FXP5

Rapid Soft Cover has been developed by Reál Marine AS for flange protection. The sandwich solution consists of a 5mm layer of soft cellular rubber and a 4mm layer of hard PE plastic. The soft layer ensures a dust-tight and cushioning connection against the flange surface. The hard PE plastic on top protects against mechanical impact, scratches, etc.

The flange protector can be supplied with two different fasteners: either the push-fit plugs in the picture, or our own Real Rapid Bolt. Both are supplied separately. To see the dimensions of the plugs, click here (the product page for the plugs will open in a new window).

Manufactured for almost all flange types and sizes. For large ANSI flanges in heavy # classes, it must be verified that sufficiently large plastic bolts are available. If it is not possible to find suitable bolts, the RSC covers can be made without bolt holes, i.e., fastened using nylon cable ties.

On RTJ flanges, the sealing surface may be raised, creating a gap between the protector and the flange. We can resolve this by inserting an extra layer of 5mm foam (purchased separately). The customer can also choose to apply tape around the edges as extra protection against dust. For the largest flanges in very high pressure classes, the design is examined specifically due to this extra height of the RTJ surface.
