SENTRY® high pressure closures are ideal for pipeline, pressure vessel, pig trap, filter and filtration system and manway access applications. SENTRY® non-threaded, internal door closures provide many features and benefits that are not available in other types of closures.
Some of these benefits include:
- Greater Security - due to heavier, more rugged locking components that retain pressure in both shear and compression modes
- Greater Safety - with all locking components fully engaged until vessel depressurization is complete
- Quicker, Easier Operation - that requires little effort from a single operator to close the largest closure with minimal time
One-Piece Seal
The SENTRY® Closure's one-piece seal is produced in all sizes and has the ability to fit the seal groove of all existing closures. Installation of the one-piece replacement seal is quicker than ever resulting in reduced maintenance time and lower incurred maintenance costs.
Available in FKM (Viton), EDR FKM (Viton), NBR, or HNBR low temperature materials (other compounds are available upon request)
Features an anti-extrusion spring molded directly into the seal for easy installation and to ensure secure sealing
Strong chemical resistance and operates at low pressure applications
Molded in all sizes with no vulcanized splices
All pressure retaining components on the SENTRY Closure are manufactured from ASME SA designated materials. The innovative pressure-energized seal provides extended service life and reduced maintenance expense. The simple profile of the sealing surface allows for easy inspection and cleaning. An improved hinge arrangement and a unique means of holding the locking segments in the open position, make operation of the Closure smooth and easy. The innovative method of securing the Closure's locking components to the door also helps to prevent the possibility of injury during pipeline or vessel servicing.
