Product Description
Clark Brothers Company (later Dresser-Clark, then Dresser-Rand) manufactured the TLAB series of large, slow-speed integral engine-compressors that were installed throughout U.S. interstate natural gas pipeline compressor stations from the 1930s into the 1970s. According to publicly filed asbestos litigation records, TLAB units were allegedly insulated with asbestos-containing cloth lagging wrapped around the power-cylinder jackets, with allegedly asbestos exhaust manifold gaskets and allegedly asbestos rope packing seated around the cylinder heads and access covers.
Workers Exposed
Pipeline compressor station operators, compressor station millwrights, natural gas pipeline mechanics, and pipeline pipefitters allegedly disturbed asbestos-containing lagging, gaskets, and packing during routine cylinder pull-downs, valve overhauls, and exhaust-manifold service on Clark TLAB engine-compressors, according to publicly filed asbestos litigation records.
