Dismantling Joint
To make up for axial displacement during installation or removal of flanged pipework and components likes valves, meters and pumps, AVK offers its special product- dismantling joints.
2 main types of dismantling joints, in type A (100% restrained) & type B (50% restrained).
Features (Type A):
- Counters the impact of expansion (up to 5 mm)
- Ensures safety during movements of bridges, chambers and pump stations.
- Offers a 3° angular deflection
- Allows linking of mis-aligned pipes and equipment
- Body / end ring:
- Fabricated rolled steel grade S275JR according to EN 10025-1:2004.
- Other grade or materials are also available upon request.
- Stud/ hexagon bolt, nuts and washers:
- Hot dip galvanized to EN 1461:2009.
- Optional: Stainless steel grade 304 and 316.
- Gasket / Sealing Ring:
- Ethylene Propylene (EPDM) to MS672(1999) or EN 681-1:1996 (Table 2 – ‘WA’/’WC’).
- Standard Corrosion Protection:
- FBE – Fusion bonded epoxy powder coating internally and externally at 250μ min. thickness (up to DN1600), cold applied epoxy coating (>DN1600)
Features (Type B):
- Dismantling Joint can compensate for differences in flange to flange distance.
- Type B dismantling joints require less number of tie bars and flange holes, allowing easy installation of pipelines. Moreover, the tie bars act as flange joining bolts themselves, allowing a further simplified and swift installation without compromising on security, resistance and pressure rating of the system.
- Body / clamping ring / end ring:
- Fabricated rolled steel grade S275JR according to EN 10025-1:2004.
- Other grade or materials are also available upon request.
- Stud/ hexagon bolt, nuts and washers:
- Hot dip galvanized to EN ISO 1461:2009
- Optional: Stainless steel grade 304 and 316
- Gasket / Sealing Ring:
- Ethylene Propylene (EPDM) to MS672(1999) or EN 681-1:1996 (Table 2 – ‘WA’/’WC’)
- Standard Corrosion Protection:
- FBE – Fusion bonded epoxy powder coating internally and externally at 250μ min. thickness (up to DN1600), cold applied epoxy coating (>DN1600)
