Equa-Lube Eighty

Brand: Sealweld
Sealweld Equa-Lube Eighty provides an insoluble film of lubricant to protect critical seal faces and reduce torque requirements. Extend valve service life by injecting Sealweld Equa-Lube Eighty immediately after the hydrostatic test at the valve factory or repair facility. This will purge all test water from the seat pockets where corrosion commonly occurs. 
 
Protects against damage from pipeline contaminants, such as dirt, sand, line scale and welding slag at start-up. Insoluble in water, crude oil, natural gas, condensate and related by-products.

Why Choose Sealweld Equa-Lube Eighty?

Value Elements

  • Ideal for New Valve Commissioning
    • Its light synthetic formulation is easy to inject into new ball, gate, and plug valves, helping reduce torque and protect critical sealing surfaces during commissioning.
  • Helps Remove Residual Hydrotest Water
    • Equa-Lube Eighty is insoluble in water, making it ideal for injection after hydrostatic testing to help purge water from valve seat pockets where corrosion can develop.
  • Protects Against Startup Contaminants
    • The lubricant forms a protective film that helps keep dirt, sand, line scale, and welding slag away from critical valve sealing surfaces during startup.
  • Year-Round Performance
    • With a temperature range of -40°C to +149°C, Equa-Lube Eighty can be used across Canadian seasonal conditions without changing to a different commissioning lubricant.

 

Comparison vs. Next Best Alternative

  • Cost-Effective for Commissioning
    • Sealweld positions Equa-Lube Eighty as its most economical light synthetic lubricant, making it a practical choice when a premium sealing compound is not required.
  • Easy to Inject
    • Its lighter formulation makes valve servicing and commissioning easier than heavier compounds, helping technicians complete injection work efficiently.
  • Proven Sealweld Performance
    • Equa-Lube Eighty is part of Sealweld's established valve maintenance product line and is designed specifically for pipeline valve applications.

 

Where Do I Use This Product and Why?

  • New Pipeline Valves
    • Use Equa-Lube Eighty when commissioning new ball, gate, or plug valves to lubricate sealing surfaces and help protect them during startup.
  • After Hydrostatic Testing
    • Inject it after hydrotesting to help purge residual water from the seat pockets and reduce the risk of corrosion.
  • Natural Gas Facilities and Distribution Systems
    • Suitable for valves at compressor stations, wellheads, gas distribution systems, and other pipeline facilities where routine valve lubrication is required.
