pressure of the sealing lip increases with increasing internal pressure.

The technical benefits of using pipe couplings include a flexible and stress- free connection that also compensates tolerances of pipe ODs. The couplings dampen structure-borne noise and vibrations and compensate for thermal expansion. The coupling seals work progressively, ie the contact

With quick and easy installation, the pipe ends need no preparation. As there is no welding or adhesive use, neither fire or explosion protection measures have to be taken. Various types of coupling are available to meet the demands of different industries and installation conditions: axial restraint and flexible, one-part, two-part or foldable, as well as couplings for connecting different pipe materials, such as HDPE. If secure and permanent pipe systems and pipe connections are required, Straub supports the customer individually, by offering engineering solutions and on-site installation. Based on the original Straub coupling technology, and in close cooperation with the customer, the right coupling is developed that fulfils the project- specific specifications.

Dimensional measurements of tubes Based on its RotoUTscan ultrasonic rotating head, Contrôle Mesure Systèmes (CMS) has introduced the new RotoUTDim for the dimensional measurement of tubes and cables from 4 to 250mm diameter on the production line. (ferrous and non-ferrous), plastic and fibre glass.

and saved. Gates for alarms are available, and input of encoder allows the positioning of the data. RotoUTDim covers a wide range of industrial applications, such as nuclear, automotive, precision tubes and cables, medical and multi-layer coating.

Measurements are made by two ultrasonic transducers that rotate around the product. Data is collected in real time over the entire circumference with a step up to 0.1mm, and all along the product (whatever the length) with a step of 1mm. Accuracy of the measurements is ±0.002mm. Data is collected in a supervisor, visualised

This system is designed to measure wall thickness all around the product, OD, ID, ovality, concentricity and eccentricity, for all types of materials, including steel
