Flange Facing Services in Al Kharj
Steam leaks in Al Kharj plants are often caused by damaged faces. Machining the face is usually the lasting fix.
Ending repeat steam leaks in Al Kharj
Food, dairy and manufacturing plants in Al Kharj run steam, condensate and process systems with many flanged joints. Flange facing in Al Kharj repairs faces eroded by steam leaks or scratched during maintenance, so the joint stays sealed after it is rebuilt.
Our portable flange facers clamp inside the bore or around the outside of the flange, are trued to its axis, and machine the sealing face back to the finish the gasket needs.
Most flange facing jobs in Al Kharj are part of a wider joint repair, so the same crew can also handle bolt torquing in Al Kharj and the other services below. For methods, equipment and standards, see our main flange facing services in KSA page.

Can facing stop repeat steam leaks in Al Kharj?
Often, yes. Steam cuts tracks across the face; machining them out and rebuilding the joint correctly usually ends the leak.
Can flanges be refaced in place in Al Kharj?
Yes. Our machines clamp to the flange where it is installed, so pipework and equipment stay in place and only the joint is opened.
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.
