M-LOK Connec on Systems

The Metalok360 M-LOK clamp connector is an equal alterna ve to *Grayloc® or other clamp connector manu‐
facturers’ products.

The Metalok360 M-LOK clamp connector is designed to offer the strength and sealing technology of a welded
joint and versa lity of a mechanical joint. It serves the same purpose as a bolted flange assembly, with added
advantages of being more easily installed (only 4 bolts) and up to 75 percent lighter and smaller by compari‐
son to ANSI or API flanges.

The connector consists of 2 hubs, 1 seal ring, 1 clamp set with 4 bolts and 8 nuts.

 M-Lok Seal Rings
number of carefully selected materials and are coated to provide lubrica on
made of 4140 or 17-4PH material and come with PTFE or MoS2 coa ng, but can be manufactured of
other materials or coa ngs to meet specific service condi ons.

The M-LOK seal ring is a reusable solid metal double cone-shaped ring, installed in
ma ng hubs or flanges.

High loading combined with the strength of the seal material provides considerable stored energy in the seal. Since the seal
is exposed to line pressure, the addi onal benefit of a pressure enhanced seal is obtained. The M-LOK seal ring will provide
leak ght service in dynamic systems of vibra on or thermal cycling where normal seals are inadequate.

Transi on seal rings, Orifice seal rings

Seal Ring materials include: AISI 4130/4140, A182 F316, A182 F44, A564 630 (17-4PH), A182 F51, A182 F55, Alloy 718, 625

 Clamp Connector Interchangeability

Fully interchangeable with *Grayloc® connectors

The Metalok360 M-LOK clamp connector is an equal alterna ve to *Grayloc® or other clamp connector manufacturers’ products.

The Metalok360 M-LOK clamp connector is designed to offer the strength and sealing technology of a welded joint and versa lity
of a mechanical joint. It serves the same purpose as a bolted flange assembly, with added advantages of being more easily installed
(only 4 bolts) and up to 75 percent lighter and smaller by comparison to ANSI or API flanges.

The connector consists of: 2 hubs, 1 seal ring, 1 clamp set with 4 bolts and 8 nuts.

 Clamp Connector Installation
1. Verify Component Compa bility
The correct size, part number and material type of all parts MUST be verified before assembly.

2. Clean and Examine Components

Using a solvent and/or nonabrasive so cloth, clean all components to remove grease and dirt. Special care should be taken on
the sealing surfaces, as shown in Figure 1 (label “A”).

Sealing surfaces shall be free from leak path scratches, damage marks, rust and other surface irregulari es. Polish off any small
scratches on the sealing surfaces with a fine emery cloth in the circumferen al direc on only (see Figure 2). Polish at least one
third of the circumference to ensure a uniform blending of the re-worked area.
Do not polish in the axial direc on.

. Measure Seal Ring Stand-Off Gap

Lubricate the Seal Ring and Hub sealing surfaces (label "A" in Figure 1 ). Place the seal ring into the hub, rock it by
pressing on the rib per Figure 3, and compare the stand-off gap to the gap dimensions given in Table 1.

 Clamp Connector Installation

4. Assembly

4.1 Install Seal Ring

Hubs should be concentric (see Figure 4) so that the Seal Ring can be installed properly in between the Hubs.
Correct any hub misalignment prior to installing Seal Ring and ghtening the Clamps.

Figure 4: Hubs & Seal Ring have to be Concentric

4.2 Lubricate
Þ 4.2.1 Apply lubricant to the Hub/Clamp contact areas (label “B” in Figure 4 ), the nut faces, and the bolt threads.

Þ 4.2.2 Place the clamps around the Hubs and insert stud/nuts. The spherically faced nuts shall sit into the
spherical seats of the clamps.

4.3 Tighten Bolts

may be
shocked with suitable so faced hammer to aid assembly.

Using the torque values from Table 2, follow the cross pa ern bolt- ghtening sequence for the following rounds:

Þ Round 1: Tighten to 20%-30% of target torque. Check gap between the Clamps for uniformity and make
appropriate adjustments through selec ve ghtening.

Þ Round 2: Tighten to 50%-70% of target torque. Check gap between the Clamps for uniformity and make
appropriate adjustments through selec ve ghtening.

Þ Round 3: Tighten to 100% of target torque. Check gap between the Clamps for uniformity and make
appropriate adjustments through selec ve ghtening.

Þ Round 4: Con nue ghtening the nuts un l no further nut rota on occurs at 100% of the target torque value.

Notes:
For 900 lb systems and above, increase bolt torque/preload by 1.5.
For 900 lb-1500 lb systems, increase bolt torque/preload by 1.5; for 2500 lb (incl. 5K) systems and above increase bolt torque/preload by 2.0.

A er bolt ghtening, check for an equal gap between the two Hubs and between the Clamp halves.

5. Disassembly
This sec on describes the process to follow to make a proper disconnec on. Always check, never take it for granted

that the line has been de-pressurized.

5.1 Slacken Nuts

Gradually run the nuts back along the bolts un l just loose, but do not remove the nuts from the bolts (see Figure 6).

If Clamp segments remain bound onto Hubs, then both segments must be slackened by hi ng the inner face

(see Figure 6) of the Clamp lugs with a suitable so -faced hammer.

5.2 Con nue Slacking Process

Con nue loosening the nuts and re-slacken both Clamp segments un l the maximum nut travel is reached. This should

relieve Seal Ring contact pressure, causing any residual pressure to be released.

Disassembly can be completed only when Clamps are slack and free to rock/rotate.
