Addition of classes 5K, 10K and 15K

 
The case against APIAPI 6A/17D flanges are today still being used in subsea systems which were initially not designed for standard pipe and fitting dimensions and, therefore, are not fully compatible. The main reason for this is simply because engineers had no alternative in the past, but today they have!  The SPO 5K-10K-15K range is fully compatible with standard piping material.  Besides weld neck and blind flanges we can also offer rigid interfaces, integral flanges and swivel ring flanges. This makes the SPO compact flange the most suitable connector for subsea pipelines and risers (fully compliant with DNV OS-F201), subsea process piping, manifolds, Xmas trees, metering equipment, as well as third party equipment such as valves, pumps and compressors.
