FAQ
FAQ

Is welding to the reactor needed in order to retrofit a FLEX-R®?

No, the FLEX-R® was developed to easily retrofit to existing reactors. The technology can be retrofitted, using proper supports, with attachment to non-pressure retaining elements of the reactor internals.

Can the FLEX-R® be installed in the reactor in the horizontal position?

Yes, the FLEX-R® can be installed in any position. However, care should be taken to ensure the internal structures are tightly secured in their proper position.

What design verification is provided with the FLEX-R® flange assembly?

ASME code calculations are performed to determine the suitability and sizing of the primary connection, the secondary connection, and the secondary containment chamber. All welds are liquid dye penetrant tested (LPI). The assembly receives an inter ...
