Expansion joint protective hoods
Extreme external influences require that the expansion joints be protected by special measures. Appropriate protective covers have been developed to this end:
 | Ground protective cover
Made of galvanised carbon steel
or stainless steel,
in two or more parts,
affixes to the medium pipe with an integrated clamp.
Protects against damage to bellows,
dirt and earth pressure.
Used for underground pipelines. |
| | |
 | UV protection cover
Made from galvanised sheet metal,
with two or more parts,
multiple one-sided attachment on the circumference.
Protection against UV radiation
and weather effects.
For use in regions with extreme solar radiation. |
| | |
 | Fire protective cover
Made from coated glass fibre fabric
and insulating layers.
Protects against the effects of flame
up to 800 °C for a duration of 30 minutes.
Used in ships and for fire water supply lines in plant buildings. |
