Dismantling Joint

Description

The Dismantling Joint is a double-flanged fitting that provides longitudinal adjustment in flanged pipe systems. By allowing the pipe section to be "retracted" or "extended" during installation, it eliminates the need for precise pipe cutting and provides a stress-free way to remove valves, flow meters, or pumps for repair. It is a must-have component for any high-pressure pumping station or industrial manifold.

Technical Specifications

• Design Type: Double-flanged, telescoping axial adjustment joint

• Pressure Rating: PN10 / PN16

• Body Material: High-strength Ductile Iron (GGG40/50)

• Adjustability: Designed to allow for significant longitudinal movement during installation

• Sealing: EPDM/NBR rubber gasket seal for the sliding section

• Tie Rods: High-tensile steel tie rods for structural integrity (locks the joint in place after installation)

• Coating: Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE) interior/exterior for long-term corrosion protection

Key Applications

• Valve Maintenance: The primary solution for removing Gate or Butterfly valves without having to dismantle long sections of piping.

• Pump Stations: Facilitates the easy removal of pumps or meters during scheduled maintenance cycles.

• Pipe Installation: Acts as a "bridge" to compensate for minor installation errors or misalignments in pipe spool lengths.

• High-Pressure Manifolds: Essential for critical piping networks in Mesaieed and Ras Laffan where downtime must be kept to an absolute minimum.
