John Crane
John Crane’s mechanical seals, couplings and filtration systems protect vital oil & gas infrastructure worldwide by preventing leaks, improving efficiency and reducing environmental impact.
The same expertise is critical to new energy applications such as hydrogen, where reliability and performance demands are even higher.
Our global network of field engineers keeps our technologies and the systems they support running at peak performance.
Introducing the next generation of separation seals
John Crane’s Type 93AX coaxial separation seal is engineered to deliver lower nitrogen consumption, enhanced reliability and reduced emissions. Developed using test data in collaboration with customers, the seal helps improve efficiency, protects assets and supports sustainability goals.

Flex-Tek
Flex-Tek’s industrial electric heating technology enables gases to be heated to the temperatures required in processes that currently use fossil fuels, like steel. And its lower temperature range products are being applied in emerging markets such as dehumidification, pollution control and energy storage.
Flex-Tek innovations are also transforming residential and commercial building efficiency and emissions through solutions for the construction industry in HVAC and electric heating.
How our engineers are helping hydrogen to become a new source of energy
Since John Crane pioneered the first hydrogen gas seal in 1979, our engineers have continuously innovated to overcome industry challenges. We now have thousands of critical components securing and advancing hydrogen projects worldwide.
