 |
| Sleeve joint with double O-ring gasket (B&S) |
 |
 |
|
|
|
|
| Joint classification: |
| Mechanical, slightly flexible. |
|
| Material: |
|
(GRP/GRVE): “E” glass rovings, mats and woven rovings impregnated with resin (to be selected in relation to the conveyed fluid and to the design temperature).
|
|
| Description: |
|
Layers of pre-impregnated rovings with resin are laminated directly on a cylindrical mold of appropriate length and diameter. The wall thickness of GRP/GRVE sleeve is a function of the project data.Hydraulic tightness is guaranteed by n°2 elastomeric O-ring gaskets placed into the spigot grooves.
|
|
| Applications: |
|
Used in piping systems for marine, civil and industrial applications with aboveground and underground installations.
|
|
| Benefits: |
- Quick assembly;
- ideal to substitute the traditional mechanical couplings (Helden, Teekay, Straub, Reka, etc..) in order to obtain an homogeneous pipeline concerning materials and corrosion resistance;
- Small misalignments absorption during installation (magnitude related to the diameter);
- Thermal expansion absorption;
- Reduction of possible vibrations thanks to the O-ring gaskets.
