PLIDCO
Clamp+Sleeves are designed for coupling pipe. Utilizing clamping
surfaces to grip the outside pipe wall, PLIDCO Clamp+Sleeves provide
exceptional holding power without danger of caving in pipe. They
counteract extraordinary end-pull and unusual axial stresses often
encountered in offshore installations.
PLIDCO Clamp+Sleeves can also be used to seal pipe leaks and reinforce
badly damaged pipe. Installation is made by simply mating the halves
together, without special tools. Patented steel GirderRings hold the
packing securely in place during installation, assuring a gas tight,
liquid tight seal. Hinges can be furnished to aid in installation.
Standard working pressure is 1000 psig. Higher working pressures and
special sizes are available on application. Buna-N packing is standard;
other packing material upon request.
An independent laboratory test of a 12” PLIDCO Clamp+Sleeve was made
using two bull plugs coupled together with the PLIDCO Clamp+Sleeve.
Hydrostatic internal pressure was maintained at 4425 psig, and axial
load was applied to 625,000 lbs. before any perceptible slippage was
evident. No leakage occurred at any time during the test. |
