1. Product image and Bandlock 2 seal location
2. Product overview
52" Bandlock 2 Small Section Seal Material 15 - compound to be confirmed is a dedicated Bandlock 2 closure seal for a nominal 52-inch closure and belongs to the 3131 family. The complete Part No. 3131-0023-15 identifies the Small Section profile together with the Material 15 material/designation.
With Small Section seals, the profile must be confirmed carefully because fitting a Large Section seal can make the door difficult to close or can pinch the sealing edge. On very large closures, the longer seal circumference increases the risk of local twisting or uneven stretching during installation, so controlled installation is important.
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.

4. Technical points for Part No. 3131-0023-15
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 52" nominal size
Sequence 23 in this family corresponds to the 52-inch nominal size. Adjacent closure sizes use different base codes.

Correct -15 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
If leakage appears immediately after replacement, check the full Part No., seal twist or pinching, groove cleanliness, mating-surface damage and correct locking position in that order.
For 3131-0023-15, cross-check the same nominal size in the opposite section family and the adjacent sizes before releasing a purchase order.
5. Typical applications
52" Bandlock 2 Small Section Seal Material 15 - compound to be confirmed 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 52", this item falls into the category of very large closures where careful circumferential installation is essential. The compatibility of Material 15 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 52" Bandlock 2 Small Section Seal Material 15 - compound to be confirmed
| Step | Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Match Part No. 3131-0023-15 | Confirms the family, size code and material suffix. |
| 2 | Confirm the 52" closure size | Prevents confusion with adjacent nominal diameters. |
| 3 | Confirm Small Section | Small and Large Section seals use different groove profiles. |
| 4 | Verify Material 15 | 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. 3131-0023-15
What is Part No. 3131-0023-15?
It is the Part No. for a 52" Bandlock 2 Small Section Seal with the Material 15 material/designation and suffix -15.
Can 3131-0023-15 be replaced by 3232-0023-15?
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 52" nominal diameter?
No. The Small Section, suffix -15, 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. 3131-0023-15 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 is not defined in the source list for this suffix. Keep the complete Part No. and verify the OEM record, previous certificate or original sample before supply.
9. Technical support and quotation
Sealtech Vietnam can cross-reference 3131-0023-15, verify the Bandlock 2 section profile and review the old sample, groove, fluid, temperature and pressure information before quotation.
