"Rubber expansion joints are designed to absorb anticipated piping movements or displacements, reduce noise and vibration and have a life cycle in the tens of millions... The most important design function is their ability to absorb fluctuating thermal or external movements in an otherwise ridged piping systems."

CUI of Plant and Pipework Corrosion Under Insulation of process plant and pipework is largely connected to steel components. ❌ Failures have happened with containment lost as a result of localised corrosion that was developing under insulation undetected. When steel comes into touch with water and has access to oxygen, it corrodes. Contributing factors to water entering the insulation: - Poorly designed/ installed protective finish or cladding. - Cladding joint sealant breakdown. - Mechanical damage to protective finish. - Cladding removed and not replaced properly. 📖 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eh5WKQYm #CorrosionUnderInsulation #Pipework #Powertherm #CUI #Insulation #Cladding

"Expansion joints are flexible connectors used in piping systems of nearly all industries. They allow for movement within a piping system that occurs due to changes in temperature or pressure... Using the wrong expansion joint in a piping system can reduce the life of the joint and have potentially disastrous consequences if the joint fails." Head over to the blog to read some common pitfalls to watch out for when selecting expansion joints for FRP systems: https://lnkd.in/gG4jEPyu #ProcoProducts #BlogPost #FRP #ExpansionJoints

Whether you are a building owner or an installer, it is imperative to know that a plumbing system has been installed correctly and that there are no nasty surprises hiding around the corner, such as a pipe detaching from its connection. As you can imagine, this could lead to flooding and unprecedented damage to a building. But how can you be certain that pipework has fully connected and remove this risk? X-Ray vision perhaps?! 🕶 We have solved this issue by equipping our Uponor Multi-Layer Composite (#MLC) Pipe system with a joint inspection window for full reviewing capabilities. Unlike traditional metal press systems which rely on the engineer following an installation process with 100% accuracy, the Uponor MLC system provides complete peace of mind. It’s useful observation window shows the position of the pipe inside to ensure it is fully engaged before the pressing is made, so that joints are installed correctly first time - and eliminating doubt. Find out how the MLCP solution can be included on your next project: https://lnkd.in/dj23dS6i #construction #heating #hvac #pressfit #UponorUK #MovingWater

**Modular Aluminum Compressed air distribution systems has the following salient features #Zero Leakages Pipe and Fittings which are made of Aluminium , the system ensures that there are no leakages from the piping and the components translating into a 10 years zero leak guarantee. #Corrosion resistant Corrosion proof aluminium alloy piping. The Pipe material has been engineered so as to counter the common problem of corrosion which results in scaling and porosity resulting in pressure drop and leakages. #Minimum Pressure Drop Minimal pressures drop by the virtue of long lasting internal smooth surface (RA value: 0.245 Micron) of the pipe resulting in laminar flow as compared to the turbulent flow of the mild steel pipe material. This results in huge energy savings ( 6% per Bar of ∆p ). #Modular System Aluminium Piping system is modular & scalable to keep up with your expansion plans and layout changes. Reusable fittings ensure Flexibility of piping layout and higher return on investment. #aircompressors #piping #pneumaticpiping #pneumaticrequirements

Buckaroos Pipe Supports, is a customized solution for supporting insulated pipes. Our supports offer options for various load capabilities, pipe sizes, and environmental conditions. Key benefits include: 1. Maintaining the integrity of the insulation system and preventing pipe damage. 2. Providing an additional layer of insulation to help maintain fluid temperature, especially at support points where regular insulation cannot be installed. 3. Supporting the pipe's weight while accommodating movement, thus reducing stress and prolonging the lifespan of the piping system. 4. Offering easier and faster installation compared to non-insulated supports, especially in field applications. 5. Reducing overall installation costs by decreasing labor, heat loss and the need for additional insulation materials. #Buckaroos #InsulatedPipeSupports #PipeInsulation

🔧 HDPE Pipe Jointing: A Perfect Fit Every Time! 🔧 Joining HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) pipes is a fascinating process that ensures durability and efficiency in various industries! 🌟 Let’s break it down: 1️⃣ Preparation: Start by cutting the pipes to the required lengths. Ensure the edges are smooth and free from debris. 🧹✂️ 2️⃣ Alignment: Align the pipe ends perfectly using a fusion machine. Precision here is key! 🛠️✨ 3️⃣ Heating: Heat the pipe ends with a special heater plate. Wait until the material softens evenly. ♨️🔥 4️⃣ Fusion: Bring the heated ends together with controlled pressure. Hold steady until they cool down and bond strongly! ❄️ 5️⃣ Inspection: Finally, inspect the joint for uniformity and strength to ensure it meets quality standards. 🕵️♂️✅ This process is the backbone of creating leak-proof, reliable piping systems in industries like water supply, gas, and sewage. 🌊⚙️ Have you ever experience this process in action? Let us know in the comments! 👇 _______________ Video, YouTube: @ BS_Goland _______________ #HDPE #PipeJointing #EngineeringExcellence #Sustainability #IndustrialSolutions #Piping

"Water hammer... is a pressure surge or wave caused when a fluid in motion is forced to stop or change direction suddenly. This phenomenon commonly occurs in piping systems where the flow of a fluid is abruptly halted or redirected due to valve closure, pump start or stop, or sudden changes in flow velocity. Proper design, operation and maintenance of piping systems are essential to minimize the risks associated with water hammer." Head over to the blog to to read how Proco's Duckbill Check Valves are a great option to prevent and avoid water hammer: https://lnkd.in/gp5Z_Nqi #NewBlogPost #WaterHammer #DuckbillCheckValves #CheckValves

𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗴: 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗹𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗮𝘀𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗣𝗩𝗖 𝗣𝗶𝗽𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝘅𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘇𝗲𝘀 𝗝𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 More than sixty years of experience have shown that PVC pipe joints function reliably long-term even when not installed perfectly. However, the recommendations of these technical briefs should be followed to maximize joint performance. Key Topics Covered: 🔹 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀: Found near the spigot end of gasketed PVC pipe, insertion lines serve two key purposes: 1. Ensure gasket will properly engage with the spigot to form a leak-free joint. 2. Prevent the spigot from being inserted too far into the bell. 🔹 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗚𝗮𝗽𝘀: The gap is necessary to provide room for thermal expansion of the pipe and to allow for angular joint deflection that accommodates any ground movement that occurs. The gap is an integral feature of the joint design and does not affect the joint’s water-tightness or its hydraulic characteristics.

SBT pays attention to the small gap match to achieve none leak in oil seal design, it’s a form of machinery seal, requiring precise tolerance between shaft and hole and high roughness demand. Numbers of pressure stabilizing tanks are opened on shaft or hole to maintain the pressure and prevent leakage. #oilseals #rotaryshaftSeals #AgriculturalOilSeal #EndCoverSeal #ValveStemSeal #NBRRubberOilSeal #TractorOilSeal #industrial
