For road-crossing where the fluid carrying pipe cannot be buried directly. The movement of heavy vehicles will transfer impact loads and can damage pipeline with leaking water or gas etc. In all such cases, the carrier pipe is inserted into a sleeve pipe. Spacers allow the carrier pipe to be easily pulled into the existing sleeve pipe and the traffic loads do not reach the main service pipelines. Small size carrier pipes DN50 to very large DN3000
Needle Valves open and close by the axial movement of the disc that is connected to a crank and shaft mechanism which the gearbox commands.
When the valve is in fully open position, due to its aerodynamic design, it causes very low head loss and maximum flow capacity.
The disc is guided by circular disc guides deposit welded to the main body, which causes minimum friction loss and stable movement.
Stem, rotated by the gearbox, commands the crank mechanism which moves the disc axially to change the opening area of the valve.
When the valve is in fully closed position, due to special sealing mechanism, drip tight sealing is achieved.
Due to pressure-independent disc operation and special gearbox, torque values needed even in large sizes are minimum.
For water, waste water, chilled water & many other services, to permit pipelines “flex” a bit. Metallic pipes expand and contract when the ambient (or service) temperatures vary and non-metallic pipes (which may be buried) will move with ground settlement etc. Where probable movement can be envisaged the values are designed by a compensator which can flex, thus avoiding undue pipeline damage. Interesting applications are reservoir inlet/outlet connections, pump connections, differing flange standards either end, axial or angular offset of new to old pipelines. Sizes from DN50 to DN5000 and pressures of PN6 to PN25 on rubber, but the larger sizes would be lower pressure capability.. Higher pressures and temperatures in 316SS.
