We are based in Sydney, Australia, and have local assembly and distribution facilities. Our larger products and projects are fabricated at our Indian fabrication facility.
REPL India occupies a large manufacturing facility of 14,000m2 near Ahmedabad, India, strategically located near the sea-port and international airport. It has two large bays, segregated for stainless steel for Metal Bellows and Carbon Steel fabrication for Static Equipment such as Dampers Strainers, Silencers and Stacks.
The factory is equipped with EOT cranes, advanced machines for both general and purpose-designed jobs, as well as a state-of-the-art longitudinal seam welding machine from Jetline USA.
The Bellows division is equipped with hydroforming and punch forming machines that can manufacture up to 6 meters in diameter and up to 4 millimeters in thickness. REPL can also design and supply thick-walled expansion joints for heat exchangers, Dog Bone Expansion joints that connect Turbines to Condensers.
We also have a state-of-the-art longitudinal seam welding machine from Jetline USA and a resistance welder.
Additionally, we can also manufacture rectangular expansion joints with single or double miter corners, camera corners, and rounded corners in both ferritic and austenitic stainless steel, Nickel Alloys, Hastelloy and Titanium At REPL, all welding processes are available such as GTAW, GMAW,SMAW, FCAW, for longitudinal and circumferential weld and S.A.W for both internal, and external welds up to 65 mm thickness REPL has its own MACHINE SHOP, BENDING AND ROLLING facilities, ‘C’ Frame Press, Hydraulic Press and Shot blasting and Painting facility
Within our group, we have a laboratory facilities certified to ISO 17025 -2005 for both Mechanical and Chemical testing, with the following equipment:
Pipe Expansion Joints are designed to EJMA 10. Heat Exchanger Bellows are designed to ASME Section VIII, Div. 1, Appendix 26 assisted by AUTOCAD. We use FEA analysis for hardware design and Stress Analysis for application engineering as required.
We have a wider range of 3rd party partners and resources in the areas of design verification and root cause analysis failures, especially for critical applications.
We provide plant surveys for refineries and other critical plants. Preventative maintenance and planning is essential for operational and cost efficiency.
We undertake inspection of existing expansion joints, inspection reports with any recommendations for improvements, repairs or remedial actions including planning for replacement.
The REPL factory has Quality Management systems to ISO 9001-2015, Environmental Management Systems 2015, and OHSAS 2017 together with established SOPs for incoming material, in-process and finished goods inspection, traceability of material, document control, and record maintenance.<br><br> The REPL factory is an ASME U, N and R stamped qualified. We can also meet the requirements of the European Community with PED approval for goods required in Europe.
Our QC staff are certified to ANST Level 2 equal to AINDT. REPL has established WPS and PQR for various metallurgies, both to ASME and AS standards.
Flexible Solutions:
To assist customers, we select the most optimum Expansion Joints for both critical and non-critical application. We can offer application engineering and complete stress analysis of piping to ascertain a full proof system.
For expansion joints we can recommend the type best suited for your application, including the pipe guide and anchor location. We require an isometric drawing of your piping to undertake the application engineering – design calculations of the expansion joint are based on EJMA, ASME B 31.1, 31.3 and ASME Section VIII Div. 1 Appendix 26 and can be provided free of charge.
We can carry out application engineering for the selection of expansion joints using a stress analysis program, complete with output report. We can also provide Force and Moment calculations where limits on nozzle load are involved. There is an additional cost for this service – please enquiry for a budget proposal.
We can validate the hardware design of an expansion joint using FEA analysis. It is used primarily for intricate design, especially for FCCU or critical applications where the temperature or forces are higher on the restraints. There is an additional cost for this service – please enquiry for a budget proposal.
