ROV Removable Seal Ring Suppliers

Destec supplies seal rings fitted with retainers designed for removal by remote operated vehicle, where the seal ring is gripped and withdrawn from the bore using a collet carried by the ROV tooling. This retained configuration also assists assembly on manned installations, since the seal ring stays located in one of the flanges during positioning, which has been shown to decrease assembly times when working under difficult conditions, such as connecting flexible hoses from a work barge. ROV removable seal rings suit subsea joints where a seal replacement may be needed over the life of the field, without requiring diver intervention or a full connector recovery to shore. The underlying seal ring remains the same all-metal, reusable design used across Destec's standard range, so switching to an ROV removable retainer configuration does not compromise the seal ring's leak tightness or reusability.
