P/N / SKU: 3131-0020-05 | Nominal size: 46" | Profile: Small Section
For Bandlock 2 closure spares, the critical differences are usually the section profile, size code and material suffix rather than the seal color. Order this item by the complete Part No. whenever possible.

2. Product overview
46" Bandlock 2 Small Section Seal Nitrile PB80 is a dedicated Bandlock 2 closure seal for a nominal 46-inch closure and belongs to the 3131 family. The complete Part No. 3131-0020-05 identifies the Small Section profile together with the Nitrile PB80 material/designation.
For Small Section identification, a clear cross-section photo of the old seal and the groove is one of the fastest ways to rule out the wrong family. This larger size requires more attention to groove condition, door alignment and even installation around the full circumference.
For the full family and part-number logic, see Bandlock 2 Seal - Quick Opening Closure Seals. For related applications, see Oil & Gas sealing solutions and Pipeline sealing solutions.

Compound note: Nitrile PB80 is a separately identified Nitrile compound in the source list. Do not replace it with a generic NBR grade solely because the base polymer is similar.
4. Technical points for Part No. 3131-0020-05
Correct 3131 family
The Part No. starts with 3131, identifying the Small Section. Do not substitute family 3232 unless the closure groove has been verified.
The Part No. starts with 3131, identifying the Small Section. Do not substitute family 3232 unless the closure groove has been verified.
Correct 46" nominal size
Sequence 20 in this family corresponds to the 46-inch nominal size. Adjacent closure sizes use different base codes.

Correct -05 suffix
The suffix identifies the material/designation variant in the source list, so the complete Part No. should be retained when purchasing spares.

Better spare-parts control
Recording size, section, material and SKU on the BOM helps prevent incorrect seals from being issued where several closures are installed.
Recording size, section, material and SKU on the BOM helps prevent incorrect seals from being issued where several closures are installed.
Closest selection risk
A seal can have the correct material and still fail if the wrong section profile is installed. Material identification never replaces section verification.
For 3131-0020-05, cross-check the same nominal size in the opposite section family and the adjacent sizes before releasing a purchase order.
5. Typical applications
46" Bandlock 2 Small Section Seal Nitrile PB80 is used to seal quick-opening closure doors on pig launchers, pig receivers, filter housings, separators, pressure vessels and other closure assemblies that are opened periodically for inspection, cleaning or removal of internal equipment.
At a nominal size of 46", this item falls into the category of large-diameter oil and gas closures. The compatibility of Nitrile PB80 must be checked against the actual process fluid and operating conditions rather than assumed from the polymer name alone.
If the original spare is obsolete or a custom replacement is required, see Make To Ordered Parts - custom sealing components. Related elastomer references are available under O-Rings & O-Ring Cord and Industrial Gaskets.
6. How to select the correct 46" Bandlock 2 Small Section Seal Nitrile PB80
| Step | Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Match Part No. 3131-0020-05 | Confirms the family, size code and material suffix. |
| 2 | Confirm the 46" closure size | Prevents confusion with adjacent nominal diameters. |
| 3 | Confirm Small Section | Small and Large Section seals use different groove profiles. |
| 4 | Verify Nitrile PB80 | Material selection directly affects fluid and temperature compatibility. |
| 5 | Inspect the groove and old seal | Helps identify deformation, burrs, corrosion or an incorrect section. |
| 6 | Check the interlock and closure condition | A new seal cannot correct mechanical faults in the door or locking system. |
Safety: Bandlock 2 is a pressure-vessel closure. Remove or install the seal only after the equipment has been isolated, vented, drained and verified at zero pressure in accordance with the correct closure manual and the plant safety procedure.

8. FAQ for Part No. 3131-0020-05
What is Part No. 3131-0020-05?
It is the Part No. for a 46" Bandlock 2 Small Section Seal with the Nitrile PB80 material/designation and suffix -05.
Can 3131-0020-05 be replaced by 3232-0020-05?
Not by default. The two codes belong to different section families and use different groove profiles even though the nominal size and material suffix are the same.
Can this seal be selected only by the 46" nominal diameter?
No. The Small Section, suffix -05, closure model/serial number and groove should also be confirmed because the same nominal diameter is available in another section family.
When should Part No. 3131-0020-05 be replaced?
Replacement should be considered when the seal is hardened, cracked, swollen, flattened, cut, permanently deformed or leaking after groove and closure-mechanism faults have been excluded.
What if the source list does not fully identify the material compound?
The material designation is stated in the source list, but the exact pressure and temperature limits still need to be confirmed for the closure and process fluid.
9. Technical support and quotation
Sealtech Vietnam can cross-reference 3131-0020-05, verify the Bandlock 2 section profile and review the old sample, groove, fluid, temperature and pressure information before quotation.
