P3 Total Preservation System: Complete Piping & Flange Protection
When storing, transporting, or staging critical piping assets, safeguarding vulnerable components from the elements is essential to preventing costly downtime and corrosion. Implementing a robust asset preservation strategy ensures your equipment remains installation-ready from the fabrication yard to final commissioning.
What is the P3 Total Preservation System?
When installed completely, the P3 Total Preservation System creates a secure water- and airtight seal across your piping assets. It actively stops corrosion, prevents flange face damage, and keeps out moisture, grit, and foreign debris.Because every facility and project has unique requirements, each component of our preservation system functions independently or as a complete, multi-layered defense.
Step-by-Step Installation for Maximum Asset Integrity
-
Seal the Flange Face (flangeDOTS or flangeDOTS+Tag)
The preservation process begins by protecting the critical gasket sealing surface. For long-term storage, we recommend using the flangeDOTS +Tag, which features an integrated visual indicator tab confirming that the protection is in place and easily visible during inspections. Both the flangeDOT and flangeDOT+Tag have a VCI additive in the adhesive to prevent corrosion on the flange face and kept the internals of your equipment clean.
-
Add Impact Protection (flangeBUMPER or flangeBUMPER+Gasket)
Next, apply the flangeBUMPER, which provides rigid impact protection against hard knocks during transport, storage, or staging. Crucially, the bumper also reinforces the underlying flangeDOT, allowing it to hold a higher internal pressure during preservation. The flangeBUMPER and flangeBUMPER+Gasket are both reusable and UV resistant.
-
Secure with Hardware (multiNUTS)
Finally, secure the assembly using multiNUTS and screws. These can be quickly fastened using a standard screwdriver or drill. They self-center in the bolt hole and are reusable throughout your project.
Once fully bolted, your piping system is shielded against moisture ingress, atmospheric corrosion, and mechanical damage, ensuring complete peace of mind throughout long-term storage or transport.
