MATERIAL FOR INDUSTRIAL JOINTS

BIRKOSIT sealing compound

BIRKOSIT Dichtungskitt AIS B010 is a single-component sealing compound for smooth, flat metallic joints. Specify the number of 1 kg tins and the material requirements for a quotation.

Material, application and documents

For a repeat order, start with AIS B010 and quantity. For a new application, provide the joint conditions and the equipment manufacturer’s material requirements.

Dichtungskitt AIS B010

The product sheet specifies a 1 kg tin. State the number of tins or total mass. Packaging identification and documents for the offered batch are agreed during quotation. For purchasing approval, copy the complete designation from the specification.

If different documents use different names, attach both extracts so that the material can be identified consistently. The word “Birkosit” alone does not define the maintenance operation, quantity or batch requirements.

Collect these inputs before requesting a price so that the quotation can address the intended task.

Dichtungskitt or FILLING

Sealing a flat metallic joint and filling a damaged surface are different tasks. Technical materials identify FILLING basic, FILLING 1000 and FILLING 2000 separately. If a maintenance procedure specifies one of these products, send the exact designation.

Do not assume that Dichtungskitt packaging or properties apply to FILLING. Selection should follow the repair specification and damage description, rather than a similar product name.

Metallic joints

The documentation lists turbines, compressors, generators, pumps and flange joints. A specific application requires operating conditions and equipment-manufacturer requirements.

Product and handling documents

The TDS describes properties and application; the SDS covers safe handling. Specify document versions and language. Manufacturing date, storage life and batch documentation are confirmed for the actual offer.

Turbines and casing joints

For turbine maintenance, identify the manufacturer, model and joint location: casing split, cover or separate flange. Include the maintenance specification naming the sealing material. Provide operating temperature and pressure for this joint, not merely the machine rating.

Describe scoring or geometry damage separately. Purchasing a compound does not replace approval of the maintenance procedure by the equipment manufacturer.

Compressors and pumps

For a compressor or pump, specify the process medium, mating-surface materials and joint design. State whether this is a repeat purchase or a new selection. A nameplate photograph identifies the equipment but does not establish chemical compatibility.

Supply the manual, sealing requirements and operating conditions for assessment. An elastomer gasket, mechanical seal and sealing compound are not interchangeable purchasing items.

Surface condition and gap

The Dichtungskitt sheet specifies smooth, flat metallic surfaces and roughness Ra 0.8–1.2 μm. This describes joint preparation, not the ability to repair arbitrary damage. Report damage dimensions, remaining old material and fastener condition.

Surface restoration requires a defined repair procedure. Do not interpret application-layer thickness as an allowable assembly gap without checking the equipment documentation.

Temperature and pressure

The manufacturer lists a temperature limit up to 900 °C and different pressure figures for different joint designs. These figures must not be combined into a single guaranteed operating point. Specify continuous conditions, start-up loads, medium and joint type.

Equipment details help establish the application context. The equipment documentation and approved maintenance procedure determine the final requirements.

Quantity and 1 kg packaging

The product sheet lists a 1 kg tin for Dichtungskitt AIS B010. State both the number of tins and total required mass to avoid unit errors. For estimating repair consumption, provide joint dimensions and the prescribed application procedure.

Equipment name alone is insufficient to establish consumption. Packaging, identification, manufacturing date and actual batch details are checked before order confirmation.

Alternatives and substitution

An alternative-material inquiry requires the original designation and reason for substitution, such as availability, lead time or changed operating conditions. Send the specification and mandatory properties. Similar colour, viscosity or the word sealant does not prove equivalence.

An alternative is not approved until the responsible maintenance authority accepts it. State any prohibition on substitution so that the quotation retains the specified material.

Storage and batch documentation

For maintenance stock, state the intended use date and required remaining storage life. A general manufacturer certificate does not establish the age of a particular tin. Request manufacturing-date, packaging-condition and storage information for the offered batch.

Use the current SDS for handling requirements. Batch documentation and suitability for the equipment are separate checks.

Price, lead time and delivery

Price and lead time depend on the exact product, quantity, documents and destination. For delivery within Russia, state the city and required receipt date; for international supply, specify the country and handover terms. Check transport requirements against the SDS for the offered material.

Do not copy shipping conditions from another sealant. Availability, procurement feasibility and lead time are confirmed by quotation; submitting an inquiry does not reserve stock.

Example: repeat purchase

An example inquiry is: “BIRKOSIT Dichtungskitt AIS B010, 1 kg tin, four tins, for planned compressor maintenance; delivery to the specified destination; packaging photographs and a specification extract attached.” This illustrates an inquiry, not available stock.

Add the required receipt date and documents needed by your purchasing team. Copy any additional marking on the old tin in full. Comparing photographs with the specification can reveal differences before quotation. Preserve the original purchasing unit: number of tins or kilograms.

If the inquiry includes several materials, put each product on a separate line so that one product’s quantity is not mistaken for another’s.

Example: maintenance inquiry

If the exact product has not been specified, describe the machine, joint location, surface materials, medium, temperature, pressure and defect. Identify who will approve suitability: your maintenance team, the equipment manufacturer or a contractor.

Useful attachments include an overall view, a close-up with a scale and the relevant manual extract. The complete machine documentation is unnecessary when one page contains the requirement. For several similar joints, list differences in operating conditions.

Once the inputs are clear, the material designation can be compared with the maintenance specification and a quotation requested. Ordering merely a “paste” leaves the intended operation and required properties undefined.

Documents for purchasing

Separate documents by purpose. A technical data sheet describes properties and application; an SDS covers safe handling and transport information; batch documentation identifies the offered goods. The buyer’s internal specification defines the required grade, quantity and additional conditions.

State which documents must be available before quotation approval and which must accompany delivery. If translation is needed, specify the language and whether certification is required. Attach the exact tender clause when relevant.

This allows the quotation scope to be checked before purchasing instead of discovering missing documents afterwards. Official manufacturer sources are linked on this page, but general publications do not replace documentation identifying the actual supplied goods.

Checks upon receipt

Compare the received marking with the agreed order line: product name, item number, packaging size and number of packages. Check packaging condition and the documents specified in the order. Where batch or manufacturing-date information was agreed, compare it with the accompanying records.

Before releasing material to maintenance, retain an identification photograph and its link to the purchasing line. Record any discrepancy and clarify the next step before use. Follow manufacturer instructions and the applicable SDS for storage and handling.

This helps distinguish similar materials in maintenance stock and preserves product identification for the next order. Keep different products and batch references distinguishable in your receiving records.

Manufacturer documents

When the material is specified

Send the complete BIRKOSIT Dichtungskitt designation, AIS B010 product number and quantity. State whether you need a quotation by tin or total mass. Include a photograph of previous packaging or a specification line to distinguish similar names.

If your documentation specifies FILLING, do not automatically substitute Dichtungskitt: it is a different designation. The quotation will identify the actual scope, documents and supply conditions before ordering.

When selecting a joint material

Identify the equipment, process medium, temperature and pressure. Surface material, joint geometry, damage and maintenance-document requirements also matter. Product-sheet limits do not guarantee suitability for every flange. Check the material against your equipment documentation.

If several joints are involved, list the conditions separately so that different applications are not treated as a single specification.

Request BIRKOSIT for your application

Send the designation, quantity and delivery destination. List required TDS/SDS versions and batch documents. Availability, price, lead time and supply conditions are confirmed for the specific inquiry.
