Pneumatic Conveying System Components / GT Pipe End Couplings    Extras Description The GT Plain Pipe End Couplings consist of two cast iron semi-casings with heavy-duty jaws set into the casing halves to secure the pipes together in a safe, quick and rigid way. The two semi-casings are joined together by strong bolts and nuts positioned on the two ends. The sealing is assured by gaskets made from EPDM or food-grade SILICONE. Function The GT Couplings have been developed to join together two plain pipe ends on the same horizontal axis in a safe, quick and rigid way. The jaws set into the housing assure a solid grip and prevent the pipes from pulling out. GT Couplings are suitable for both mild steel and stainless steel pipes. Performance & Technical Features - Benefits Semi-casing design made from cast iron conforming to EN GJS 500-7 EN 1563 Jaws made from hardened carbon steel Gaskets available in EPDM or food-grade SILICONE Operating temperature: from -40 °C up to 110 °C (-40°F up to 230°F) Operating pressure: min. -0.5 bar / max. 7 bar (min. -7.2 PSI / max. 101.5 PSI) Diameters range from 40mm up to 200mm (from 1½” up to 8”) to meet the most common pneumatic line ducts Quick and easy to install Reduces installation costs as compared to welded junctions Safer installation than welding (GT Coupling can be fitted without usage of special heavy-duty tools; requires torque wrench/spanner only) More flexible than welding (GT Coupling detachable and re-usable allowing easy and quick modifications of the pipe duct; can be installed in other pneumatic ducts) Safe and solid junction of pipes assured by heavy-duty jaws set into the casing halves No costly pipe end preparation (simple plain cut end pipes) Compact overall dimensions No pressure drop along pneumatic line No contamination thanks to silicone gasket Suitable for mild steel and stainless steel pipes Suitable for excess pressure and vacuum lines Suitable for all pipe thicknesses GT Coupling can be rotated to provide easy access to nuts and bolts Maintenance-free Options & Accessories EPDM gasket Food-grade SILICONE gasket Technical Catalogue - GT Complete Manual [ View Details ] Brochure GT Brochure No. - Last Edition: 04/10 GT_12mag10_EN_EDIT.pdf Print
