Company profile
In 2008 the affiliation between sole manufacturer A.I.
Schulze Chemotechnische Fabrik e.K. and the sales and
logistics agency D. Bartkowiak Vertriebs- und Logistikzen-
trum was reformed into a new centre of operations.
This merger allowed the group of companies to secure a
large share of the global market and, with General Agen-
cies for over 35 countries, it is one of the market leaders
today in professional sealing technology.
The group of companies supplies operators and manu-
facturers of steam turbines, gas turbines, compressors,
pumps, housings and flanged joints, for example, with its
special product,
BIRKOSIT Dichtungskitt®
, which is a single-component
sealing compound and is suitable for applications in in-
dustry where high temperatures combine with pressure on
smooth sealing faces (parting lines) to exert supreme de-
mands on the quality of sealants.
Our network of affiliated companies attaches a great deal
of importance to innovation and quality control in a bid to
offer its customers top standards of performance, reliability
and efficiency. The high level of flexibility in our distribution
structure also generates customer satisfaction, as verified
by its proven record of success, and is an attribute very
much appreciated by our established customer base all
over the world.
“We aim to develop existing technologies and introduce
new ones and, in so doing, to gain a competitive edge and
also to make a proactive contribution to the protection of
the environment. We are also keen to set standards in this
area by transferring expertise within our group of compa-
nies.”
A.I. Schulze Chemotechnische Fabrik e.K. sees itself as
a modern enterprise committed to meeting modern-day
requirements and capable of rising to future global chal-
lenges.

The adhesion on sealing surfaces and butt joints is so high
that a one hundred percent seal is guaranteed even for
pressures up to 250 bar.
The pressure resistance for flanges without sealing rings
is guaranteed up to 450 bar, and even up to 550 bar for
screw joints.
BIRKOSIT Dichtungskitt
®
Withstands hot steam and air, hot and cold water, light
fuel oils and lubricants, as well as crude oil and natural
gas at temperatures of up to 900 °C.

Quality management
To ensure the high quality of our products and services
and to continually improve our organisation, we regularly
perform in-house audits to make sure that our company
meets the requirements of the DIN EN ISO 9001:2008 DIN
EN ISI 14001 quality standard to which our company is cer-
tified.

BIRKOSIT Service life
When used in accordance with instructions and with
regular servicing as required for steam and gas tur-
bines, we guarantee a service life of 10 years for use
on machined sealing surfaces (butt joints) with a
finishing accuracy of Ra = 0.8 μm to 1.2 μm as well
as incidences of shallow, trough-like corrosion or erosi-
on defects at these sealing surfaces of ≤ 0.2 mm. For
high-pressure turbines (H), medium-pressure turbines
(M) and low-pressure turbines (L) we guarantee that the
product will withstand hot steam and hot air, hot and
cold water, light fuel oils and lubricants as well as crude
oil and natural gas up to 900 °C and withstand pressu-
re up to 250 bar.

Product Information - MACHINING GUIDELINES
Machining guidelines for sealing turbines and turbosets of
our customers using the BIRKOSIT Dichtungskitt®
product
On the following turbine types
- Steam turbines
- Gas turbines
and
- Turbosets
Type High-Pressure Turbine (HPT)
- The butt joints in high-pressure turbines comprise two
sealing strips with a continuous sealing surface
- There is one inner and one outer sealing strip
- Only the inner sealing strip is load-bearing (Internal strip)
BIRKOSIT Dichtungskitt
®
Type Medium-Pressure Turbine (MPT), Low-Pres-
sure Turbine (LPT)
- The butt joints in medium-pressure turbines (MPT)
and low-pressure turbines (LPT) comprise one con
tinuous sealing surface with centered cylindrical holes
- The inner sealing area of the butt joints is load-bearing
as standard up to the commencement of the cylinder
bores
If the requirements of points 1 to 4 in the general ma-
chining guidelines are satisfied we will guarantee
- 100% sealing of the turbine surfaces (butt joints) with
the temperature and pressure data according to our
product literature on
- Steam turbines
- Gas turbines
- Turbosets

Application
BIRKOSIT Dichtungskitt
®
Application area, metal-to-metal joints
BIRKOSIT Dichtungskitt®
has been used for 50 years
on Siemens turbines (product development 1952 with Sie-
mens). Without the additional sealing of individual pressu-
re areas using BIRKOSIT Dichtungskitt®
the production
imprecisions or the distortion under loads are no longer
evened out, which means that the turbine areas in the indi-
vidual pressure areas become permeable under pressure.
This means the turbine loses power, and can even lead to
unplanned reconditioning.
BIRKOSIT Dichtungskitt®
is formulated to be practically
inert in its standard applications in steam and gas turbines.
It is, therefore, resistant to exposure to hot air, steam, wa-
ter, light fuel oils and lubricants. By implication, it should be
resistant to crude oil and natural gas.

Single Shaft Compressors
Numerous applications, e. g. methanol production, Gas-
to-Liquids (GTL) and Coal-to-liquids (CTL), steel plants or
Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC), require
large amounts of air or oxygen. Having built the world’s
largest air compressor so far in operation, Siemens has
outstanding expertise in compressors with large volume
flows.
Highlights
The perfect match for air flows up to 1,300,000 m³/h Axial-
radial design allowing for intercooling and higher pressure
ratios Excellent efficiency
