G-LOK® Clamp Connectors
G-Lok® Clamp Connectors are high-integrity sealing systems widely used in the oil and gas industry. They serve as an efficient alternative to traditional flanged connections, suitable for various applications including onshore, offshore, subsea, FPSO, and FLNG facilities.
​
The ultimate sealing solution for demanding environments
​
The clamp connectors are specifically designed for systems requiring high-integrity seals, close piping and hookup arrangements, low-weight piping, and connections that require quick disassembly. They are particularly effective in rapid cycling operating conditions over extended periods and severe environments where routine maintenance is impractical. ​
