3 B l u e S k y C l a m p C o n n e c t o r BlueSky Clamp Connectors have been designed and manufactured to provide the most advanced sealing performance in connecting piping systems. BlueSky Clamp Connectors are superior to traditional flanges and provide the best alternative for the most severe piping applications. I n d u s t r i a l A p p l i c a t i o n s The advantages of the BlueSky clamp connector makes it an optimal solution in a wide variety of applications and industries.

4 C l a m p C o n n e c t o r D e s c r i p t i o n The BlueSky clamp connector is a highly reliable, easy to assemble, metal to metal sealed joint. It is designed for use in piping systems which require high integrity seals in applications that may involve corrosive, erosive, high temperature/pressure and cyclic conditions. The clamp joint has the following configuration: clamps hubs seal ring studs nuts Hub Seal Ring The seal ring is a zero leakage, re-useable, metal to metal gasket interfaced with the hub sealing surface to ensure a high integrity and reliable seal. This joint configuration ensures the seal ring is elastically loaded during assembly and offers a self-energized seal during operation. Clamp or additional details, refer to the BlueSky Clamp Joint Installation and Maintenance Manual. H o w t h e M e t a l t o M e t a l S e a l W o r k s Position prior to clamping inal position after clamping. Rib of the seal ring is clamped between hub faces and the rib of the seal ring assists with proper alignment as the joint is clamped together. Clamp Seal Ring Rib Seal Ring Lip Hub. Seal ring lips engage the inner hub surface. The rib controls the amount of seal ring lip deflection within the elastic range.. Seal ring lips rotate inwards to achieve a highly reliable metal to metal seal.. Internal pressure acts on the inside face of the seal ring lips and pressure energizes the seal to enhance the reliability of the metal to metal seal. This feature is significantly superior to traditional flanges in which pressure acts directly on the flange faces forcing them apart and impacting the integrity of the seal.
