INTRODUCTION
In this section we have covered couplings to join glass process plant and pipeline components with other metal equipments. The complete coupling includes two flanges, two inserts, the necessary numbers of nuts, and bolts to join them together. The couplings designed for use with glass process plant and components are of major importance from two main point of view.
F F
They must ensure that the bolt load applied to the joint is sufficient to make an effective seal whilst not inducing undue stress in the glass. They must be totally reliable in all service conditions.
COMPLETE COUPLING
A Complete coupling consists of two backing flanges, two inserts and the appropriate number of nuts, bolts with PTFE 'O' ring. It is a complete set of flanges required to make a joint.

COMPRESSION SPRING
Compression spring is used to set the correct bolt load and to maintain it after the gasket has settled, thus ensuring that the coupling remains leak-free. Standard compression spring has a corrosion resistant coating and is also available in stainless steel.

PTFE BELLOW
PTFE bellow is an important support in the construction of glass plant and pipeline. It can be used to compensate for different thermal movement between glass and associated equipments, absorb vibrations from associated equipments or foundations. In particular, bellow can be used for connecting glass to other material. When bellow is used, the support and restraint of the glass should be such that the force resulting from pressure/vacuum in the pipeline and forces resulting from movement of the bellows do not result in undue stresses in the glass. The maximum operating temperature for PTFE bellow is 200oC. Bellow DN 80 and above should not be used under vacuum. For such application we recommend the use of vacuum bellow as detailed on the following page.
