INTLEF Group Launches the World’s First Innovative Quick-Connect Flange, Redefining BOP Connection Methods

Published

on

SHANGHAI, March 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — INTLEF Group recently launched its newly developed Quick-Connect Flange — a revolutionary product aimed at eliminating industry pain points and optimizing connection methods.

 

It enables efficient connections between API 6A standard flanges, including wellhead flanges, BOP and pressure test flanges. It can also be applied to flange connections in other mechanical systems.

Key Technical Innovations

Two formats: flange connection and studded connection. Its core technology leverages high-pressure hydraulic oil to drive rapid and secure connections between pistons and flanges.

The significant advantages:

Significant Time and Cost Savings
Reduces installation and dismantling time by 75–90% during wellhead and BOP flange operations. Minimises labour intensity by 95%; Operates with hydraulic pressure of 10–20 MPa, compatible with existing BOP control systems, eliminating the need for additional hydraulic control setups, improves operational efficiency while significantly reducing operational costs.Enhanced Safety
Eliminate the need for torque tools, hammer wrenches, or sledgehammers, simplifying operations and ensuring safety—especially for aloft work; Automated hydraulic operation ensures uniform flange bolt tension, enhancing connection security.Superior Sealing Performance
Hydraulic operation ensures even force distribution on sealing rings, guaranteeing high connection reliability and tightness.Reduced Equipment Wear
Avoid excessive torque on bolts and nuts, preventing premature damage to components.

Structural Designs and Applications

Four structural designs can be applied to the flange and the studded connection form respectively:

Conventional Elevated Quick-Connect StructureFeatures quick-connect structures on both ends for rapid connections between two flanged devices, it will help to elevate short section.Quick-Connect drilling spool StructureAdds two side outlets to the body while maintaining quick-connect structures on both ends. which can be used for quick connection between two devices with the same flange and act as the drilling spool, especially for narrow space applications.BOP Quick-Connect StructureIntegrates the quick-connect structure directly into the BOP body flange for rapid connections with other BOP or wellheads with the same flange.Pressure Test Flange StructureThe quick-connection structure is designed as a unique flange and used as a test flange, test pile or base, etc., it is used in test applications such as production facility test stations, well control workshops, or BOP maintenance/overhaul, etc., requiring frequently conducted pressure tests and disassembly.

The Quick-Connect Flange represents over a year of development, including design, manufacturing, testing, and optimisation. Extensive real-world operational testing before launch has demonstrated the product’s outstanding performance, earning high praise from clients.

More than just a product, the Quick-Connect Flange reflects INTLEF’s commitment to shaping the industry’s future. Through continuous innovation and collaboration with global partners, the company aims to open a new chapter in oil and gas equipment development.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., April 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Pause Technologies, a real-time AI platform dedicated to menopause support, announces the successful completion of the Mayo Clinic and Arizona State University MedTech Accelerator. Out of a global pool of applicants, only ten companies were selected for the 2025 cohort. The Pause Technologies was the only female-founded company included in this year’s cohort.

Being the only female-founded company in this cohort underscores exactly why we are here—to build what no one else has built, for women who have waited long enough.”

According to Forbes, more than one billion women are expected to be in menopause globally by 2030, the demand for innovation in this space is rising. thePause™ is built to meet this moment with real-time, adaptive support that empowers women to better understand and manage their health.

“Menopause is still surrounded by stigma, misinformation, and a lack of proactive care,” said Dr. Mia Chorney, Chief Medical Officer and Co-founder of The Pause Technologies. “Through this program, we were able to deepen our clinical validation, pressure-test our architecture with leading minds, and accelerate our strategy to bring better outcomes to more women. Our vision is a world where menopause is not a burden, but a phase of life supported by intelligent, empathetic technology.”

The Pause Technologies is actively scaling partnerships with enterprise healthcare systems, wellness providers, and clinical researchers to expand access and impact.
