Insulated Vacuum Piping Field
Joints |
| When a fully
welded continuous vacuum insulated pipeline is
required then a field welded system is needed.
This requires the purchaser to butt weld the system
together and then pull a vacuum on the sections
over where the butt weld joints were made. As
field weld joints are designed to be installed
by the purchaser on-site and in position they
are also a perfect way to allow for greater tollerances.
If a section, or much of a Vacuum Insulated Pipe
line cannot be accurately measured then field
welded systems should seriously be considered |
|
|
|
| There are of course many other reasons |
- Reduced heat in-leak on a fully welded pipe
line,
- No risk of leaks at bayonet joints,
-
Depending on supplier higher
operating pressures can be obtained with field
weld joints. When a field weld system is required,
they are supplied with all components to complete
the joint on site; the outer sleeve, the insulation,
molecular sieve and palladium oxide pack,
evacuation port, plug and seals, the welding
to the relevent code and pulling the necessary
vacuum is the responsibility of the purchaser
and therefore should only be undertaken if
you believe you can supply the necessary skills
and equipment required.
