THE IRONHEART SYSTEM - FEATURES AND BENEFITS
100% FLANGED PIPED SYSTEM Flanged piping systems are more costly than threaded systems. They typically last longer in applications where vibration is present. In applications where vibration and other mechanical loading occurs, threads have been known to fail. Flanged systems also offer ease of service when a component needs to be replaced. Threaded systems are laborious to service and, depending on where the issue is, require more disassembly. In addition, SyncroFlo headers are also field reversible.
ADJUSTABLE PIPE SUPPORTS  All headers that overhang the base plate are provided with adjustable pipe supports. Not all floors are level. Having the adjustable support allows you to be sure the headers are properly supported per Hydraulic Institute. This reduces issues with the pumps as a result of pipe strain.
LUG STYLE BUTTERFLY VALVES  With the 100% flanged system, lug style butterfly valves were the natural solution for pump isolation. Advantages to butterfly valves include lighter weight, shorter lay length and ¼ turn operation for rapid open/close cycle.
HEADERS MANUFACTUREDWITH THE T-DRILL PROCESS There are a few ways to add branch piping to a run. Most manufacturers use the saddle method. This is where a window is cut in the run pipe and a branch with a saddle is added. SyncroFlo invested in a T-Drill collaring machine that fabricates the tee directly from the run material. This eliminates the need for factory tees or saddles. This collaring process ultimately allows for stronger pipe and welds than the saddled alternative, as well as improved flow characteristics and cleanliness on the piping interior. All branch piping is welded to the header using the GTAW process. During the welding process, the piping is back purged with an inert gas to eliminate oxidations around the weld. This process is known as sugaring.
