Environment
- No welding gases or dust
- No x-ray or die penetrate waste
- No acid chemical cleaning or neutralization required
- No disposal of flushing or cleaning hoses
- No disposal of chemical waste
Quality of Installation
- BARCONN®, BARDKO®, and BARLAP® connections are stress free and leak free
- No stress fatigue from welded connections
- All non-welded pipes are bent reducing pressure drops for sharp angled welded elbows
- A guaranteed clean piping system
- No possible weld beads or weld slag left behind from welding
- Systems are based on a mechanical set design and components are re-usable
Cost Savings
Non-welded hydraulic piping vs. welded piping
- Reduced skilled labour required to bend and flare pipe vs. ticketed welders
- Flanges and cones are re-usable vs. socket weld flanges must be replaced
- Pipe flaring can be performed in minutes vs. hours for welding
- Compact and low cost tooling vs. bulky and expensive welding machines and gases
- No hot work permits required
- Hydraulic non-welded piping specialists on staff to reduce installation supervision and installation time
- The system fluid is used for flushing and pressure testing and then used for system operation
- System flushing can be achieved in hours rather than days
- On site digital oil analysis vs. third party lab testing reducing testing time
