Reinforcing Rings

FUNCTION - FITTINGFUNCTION - FITTING
Reinforcing rings for thin-walled and soft piping as well as synthetic piping

The thickness of the wall a tube is determined on the one hand by the pressure of the medium contained in it, and by the additional outside stress, and on the other hand by the type of tube connection. If tubes are exposed only to a low internal pressure and protected against damage from without, a smaller wall thickness will meet the requirements, saving weight and costs. In certain circumstances thinwalled and soft tubes cannot sufficiently resist the forces employed when tightening the -pipe coupling and will be distroted, thus reducing the strength and the resistance to vibration of the joint and consequently the cross-section of the passage. These disadvanrages can be avoided by using the - reinfocing rings which with regard to the material and their dimensions are adapted exactly to the tubes employed. Their form allows an easy insertion into the tubes. The external end is enlarged by a tooth-like knurling at the outside diameter.

By a light stroke this toothing is being pressed into the inner wall of the tube and prevents the ring from being displaced or falling the process of mouthing without widening the end of the tube. Thereupon the mounting can be effected while paying attention to the corresponding instructions (see page A 12 and A 13), Normally - reinforcing rings are supplied for copper tubes in brass, for light-metal resp. thin-walled steel tubes in steel.

When making equiries or placing orders, please indicate : outside diameter of tube, wall thickness, material and medium of flow.
