Increase the Safety of Your Pipe Systems with Press Fit

The installation and maintenance of piping systems are among the most dangerous and risky tasks of a workplace. Pipe systems, especially for oil and gas, can be extremely hazardous should they fail. A ruptured pipeline can cause fires, environmental pollution and even explosions.

Due to the risks involved, pipelines require special care to ensure the safety of both people and the environment. Our Press Fit System makes it easier to maintain safety throughout installation, alterations, use and maintenance.

Our Press Fit System provides a cost-effective solution to pipe safety concerns. Our press fittings allow you to quickly assemble and install pipes without the use of gas bottles and welding flames. This minimises the risk of fire and burns during the installation process. It also makes it easier to comply with the stringent Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) regulations.

Instead of relying on tig welding, our press fittings use a two-part process to produce superior joints. Pressing creates two deformations:

• Radial deformation
• Geometric deformation

In radial deformation, the O-ring is compressed in the toroidal chamber of the pipe to create a hermetic seal — it is completely airtight and suitable for use with both gas and liquids.

In geometric deformation, both the pipe and the fitting are pressed to create a mechanical joint that is resistant to both slipping and rotations. This creates a solid joint that is durable but still flexible enough to withstand changes in temperature and pressure during operation.
