Design and function
Insulation joints are used to electrically separate above ground installation from bellow ground installation, to
prevent electric discharges in atmosphere shot cutting through metal pipe walls causing eventual fire and explosion.
Both above and bellow ground mounting insulation joints are available. Parts of insulation joints are made according
to EN and ANSI norms, from metal parts with guaranteed quality as welded construction, achieving high resistance and
compact design. Insulation joints can be mounted in vertical and horizontal position.

Technical data
|
For proper insulation joint selection, several technical information are required:
Nominal size | DN |
Standard pressure categories | PN |
Ambient temperature range | [OC] |
End connection,welding ends | BW |
Materials
