Evolution Isolation Kits

EVOLUTION™, the best available technology for pipeline isolation, incorporates all of these benefits into one complete and robust package. EVOLUTION™ is a patent pending product that is the first of its kind to be a fully encapsulated isolating gasket. The thinner, ⅛” (3mm) design minimizes the difficulties often encountered while attempting to install thicker isolating gaskets. The total encapsulation allows the gasket to be hydro-tested and kept in the pipeline with virtually no loss in isolation properties. The coating is a GPT proprietary material that is extremely abrasion and impact resistant. The coating is also chemically resistant to attack by H2S, steam, CO, CO2 and other chemicals often found in oil and gas pipelines.

EVOLUTION™ has passed API 6FB fire testing in multiple sizes and pressures and has a considerable increase in operating temperature over GRE products. It also has a number of other advantages over traditional GRE laminated products. Since EVOLUTION™ has no laminations, it’s able to withstand high pressures with no ill effects unlike GRE gaskets which are prone to delamination. Furthermore, EVOLUTION™ does not have the permeation issues that plague GRE gaskets.

ID Seal

• Chemical resistance - remarkable resistance to typical oil and gas chemicals, in particular H2S, CO & CO2
• Isolates after hydro-testing - eliminates the need to replace the gaskets following hydro-testing, EVOLUTION™ will isolate after hydro-testing

Fully Encapsulated (⅛” (3mm) Retainer)

• No permeation - the unique design results in no permeation, a problem that plagues conventional glass reinforced epoxy (GRE) isolations gaskets
• Easy installation - thinner design (⅛” (3mm)), minimizing the difficulties often encountered when attempting to install thicker isolating gaskets

Proprietary Coating

• High dielectric strength
• Eliminates exotic cores - fully encapsulated coating prevents the need for expensive exotic cores
• High temperature - rated to 500°F/260°C*s

Inconel C-ring

• Fire safe - provides the added security of knowing that the gasket has passed the API 6FB, 3rd Edition Fire Test
• Eliminates exotic cores - fully encapsulated coating prevents the need for expensive exotic cores
• High pressure - highest pressure rating of any isolating gasket
