Flange Facing Services in Ras Tanura
Salt air at Ras Tanura attacks flange faces as well as studs. We machine out the pitting so new gaskets can seal properly.
Removing marine corrosion from Ras Tanura flanges
The marine environment around the Ras Tanura refinery and terminal leaves flange faces pitted, especially on tank and loading line joints that are rarely opened. Flange facing in Ras Tanura cleans up that damage in place and restores the right serrated finish for the new gasket.
Light cuts remove pitting, radial scratches and erosion, then a finishing pass produces the serrated, smooth or RTJ profile your joint calls for.
Most flange facing jobs in Ras Tanura are part of a wider joint repair, so the same crew can also handle bolt torquing in Ras Tanura and the other services below. For methods, equipment and standards, see our main flange facing services in KSA page.

Can you machine pitted terminal flanges at Ras Tanura?
Yes. Shallow pitting is machined out; deeper pits can be filled by a qualified welder and machined back to profile.
How much material do you remove from a flange face?
Only enough to clean up the damage, usually a fraction of a millimetre. We measure first and never machine below the thickness the rating allows.
Do you reassemble the joint after facing in Ras Tanura?
Yes. Our bolting crew can fit the new gasket and tighten the joint to a calculated load, so one team is responsible for the result.
