U expansion pipe RAL 5012 for compressed air piping system
Helpful information:
Expansion joints or U-bend tubes in RAL 5012 are essential components in industrial compressed air systems. Designed to absorb thermal expansion and vibrations, these components help prevent damage and ensure the reliability of pneumatic installations. The RAL 5012 finish provides corrosion protection and an attractive aesthetic.
➜ Compatible fluids: compressed air, neutral gases (argon, nitrogen)
➜ Operating pressure: 0 bar to 14 bar (0 Psi to 203 Psi)
➜ Operating temperature: -20°C to +80°C (-4°F to 176°F)
➜ Resists: Corrosion, mechanical shock, thermal variations
➜ Materials: painted aluminium
➜ Tube painting: colour: RAL 5012, Electrostatic paint (certified non-toxic according to UNI 9983 )
➜ Tube properties: Diameters: ø20 - ø25 - ø32 - ø40 mm, Thickness: 1.5 mm, Coefficient of expansion: 0.024 mm/(m°C), Density: 2.70 kg/dm3, Complies with Directive 97/23/EC art.3.3 (PED: Pressure Equipment Directive)
➜ Advantages:
- Protection against thermal expansion: Expansion joints or U-bend tubes absorb temperature variations in compressed air lines, preventing excessive stress and structural damage.
- Vibration absorption: These components effectively reduce vibrations generated by pneumatic equipment, contributing to quiet and stable operation of installations.
- Corrosion resistance: The RAL 5012 finish provides corrosion protection, extending the lifespan of expansion joints and ensuring reliable performance in challenging industrial environments.
- Easy installation: Expansion joints are easy to install and require minimal maintenance, reducing maintenance and operating costs of compressed air systems.
