Maximizing Piping Asset Integrity During Commissioning

At Precision Piping Products, we recognize that commissioning is a critical phase where piping systems must be fully prepared, clean, and free from damage or contamination before startup. Any exposure to contaminants or environmental elements during this stage can lead to costly delays, compromised system integrity, and operational failures. Our advanced preservation products are designed to safeguard your piping assets, helping you maintain quality, reduce downtime, and meet project deadlines.

Why Protect Piping Systems During Commissioning?

During commissioning, piping systems undergo final inspections, testing, and preparation for startup. This phase often involves opening flange connections and exposing interior piping surfaces, which can increase the risk of contamination or damage.

• Prevent Contamination: Exposure to dirt, moisture, and debris can compromise system cleanliness.
• Protect Flange Faces: Maintaining undamaged sealing surfaces is essential for leak-tight connections.
• Ensure System Integrity: Clean and protected piping supports smooth start-up and operational reliability.
• Support FOD & FME Compliance: Our products help you meet Foreign Object Debris (FOD) and Foreign Material Exclusion (FME) procedures by preventing contamination during commissioning.
• Reduce Rework & Downtime: Avoid costly repairs and delays caused by contamination or damage.

Our Patented Preservation System for Commissioning

We offer a proven, step-by-step preservation system designed to protect your piping assets during commissioning and ensure optimal flange protection:

1. Clean Flange Face
   Thoroughly clean the flange face to remove any contaminants, ensuring a smooth, damage-free sealing surface.

2. Apply flangeDOT® or flangeDOT+Tag®
   Peel-and-stick VCI (Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor) adhesive covers that protect the flange face from moisture, debris, and corrosion. The flangeDOT+Tag option also includes identification tags for easy tracking and communication on-site.

3. Place flangeBUMPER® or flangeBUMPER + Gasket Over flangeDOT
   These mechanical protective covers shield the flange face from mechanical damage during handling and exposure. The flangeBUMPER + Gasket option provides additional sealing protection when needed.

4. Attach with multiNUTS™
   Secure the preservation system components firmly with multiNUTS™, reusable fasteners designed for quick installation and reliable holding power.

This patented preservation system provides comprehensive protection throughout commissioning, helping to maintain flange integrity, reduce contamination risk, and comply with FOD (Foreign Object Debris) and FME (Foreign Material Exclusion) procedures.

How It Works: Commissioning Protection Process

1. System Inspection & Preparation: After installation and testing, the piping system is prepped for commissioning.
2. Cleaning & Drying: Pipes are cleaned using industry-standard methods and dried thoroughly.
3. Apply flangeDOT/flangeDOT+Tag Covers: These adhesive covers seal flange faces to prevent contamination.
4. Install flangeMAGS® Covers: Magnetic covers can be staged and applied as needed to protect flanges during exposure.
5. Maintain Protection Until Final Startup: These products preserve sealing surfaces until final torqueing and system start-up.

This process ensures your piping system remains clean, dry, and protected throughout commissioning activities.
