Problems We Solve
Maintaining uninterrupted flow is essential to our customers to maximize throughput. Together with operators, our goal is zero pipeline failures- therefore we developed this range with reliability in mind.
Our products can bring you essential benefits:
- High quality materials and rugged construction help assure the performance of our pipe joining products
- Dresser AL-CLAD™ fusion-bonded epoxy coating, offered on most Dresser pipe joining products is tough and corrosion-resistant
- Dresser is the broadest line of couplings, including long body, insulating, reducing and transition types
- Dresser gaskets absorb pipe stress for longer joint integrity
- Available in a wide range of sizes, performance characteristics and materials
Subsea Wellheads, Specialty Connectors & Pipe Products
Gas Distribution Valves and Strainers
GE’s Dresser(TM) gas distribution valves are available for gas pipeline applications including meter valves, isolation valves, service valves, angle ball valves and excess flow valves. They protect meters, valves and regulation equipment from entrained system debris.
Features & Benefits
- Distribution valves are permanently lubricated at the factory
- Available in a range of end configurations for most applications
- Strainer flow path is sealed with an elastomeric ring in the body bore for debris removal
- Strainers available in flanged or welded ends
SPipe Repair Products for Water Pipelines
Our Dresser™ pipe repair products for water, wastewater and industrial water applications includes collar leak clamps, band clamps and bell joint clamps, repair sleeves for a variety of pipe materials and applications.
Features & Benefits
For pipeline integrity repairs we offer full-wrap weldable repair sleeves for mechanical coupled joints and stress crack anomalies. Our weld-over sleeves offer both repair of broken or leaking joints while providing a permanent reinforcements that will last the life of the pipeline.
- Collar clamps quickly and inexpensively stop leaks through threaded screw collars, solvent weld couplings and stab-type PVC joints
- Band clamps provide a low cost repair for small pinholes, leaks, corroded areas and pits in straight runs of steel piping
- Bell joint clamps permanently stop or prevent leaks of cast iron bell and spigot joints
- Split repair sleeves enclose and permanently repair breaks, splits and holes in cast iron and steel piping
- Weld-over reinforcing sleeves are commonly used to repair corrosion pits and stress cracks
Subsea Wellheads
Our subsea wellhead systems provide mission-critical reliability as operators push past the boundaries of 10,000ft depths and 30,000ft wells, encountering the extreme pressures, temperatures and risks that come with the territory.
Meeting the demand for more efficient and reliable drilling
The extreme operating conditions associated with subsea drilling create significant financial & technological pressures, particularly as operators push past the boundaries of 10,000ft depths and 30,000ft wells, where wellhead system reliability is a must. With more than 40-years’ in-field experience and over 1,000 systems installed worldwide, the driving force behind the advanced designs and successful installation of GE’s products has always been the industry’s demand for more efficient and dependable drilling. Whatever challenges are faced, GE’s patented metal-to-metal seal, advanced material sciences & innovative approach help clients worldwide to successfully & securely drill their subsea wells. Our products are designed, tested and proven for industry-leading performance, safety and efficiency for a range of operating conditions.
Ulti-Max™ GT – Offshore Casing Connector
Drilling and completing wells deeper magnifies the importance of having reliable casing connections. After a rigorous design and testing program, Ulti-Max™ GT sets entirely new standards for safety, ease of use and reliability.
Fast & secure connection that is tested above & beyond for optimal safety
Ulti-Max GT is the latest advance in weld-on casing connectors, combining all the features of GE’s widely used RL-3M connector with new materials and design advantages, in a more compact, lightweight and cost-effective package. After a rigorous design and testing program, it sets entirely new standards for application range, safety, ease of use and reliability and, through speeding up casing string installation, also improves rig productivity. Ulti-Max GT has passed GE’s most extensive test regimen ever, with a wider range of key safety components and higher standards than covered by typical testing programs for tension, compression, bending and internal & external pressure. It is qualified per ISO 13679: 2011 CAL I-E with additional validation testing beyond ISO 13679 for added assurance. It is available in multiple diameters & thicknesses.
