Pipe system for petrol/gas stations

Double wall flexible fill pipe for automotive fuels in petrol/gas stationconstructionSystem advantages •flexible, double walled •impermeable and safe from corrosion•fast and simple to install•environmentally safe•the most cost effective metallic pipe General Description SECON
® -X has been specially developed as a coaxial pipe forunderground service in petrol/gas stations. Fast and easy installation without welding, early completion and minimal downtime on retrofitsare only some of the major advantages of SECON
® -X. Construction Sizes and Pressure ratings SECON
® -X is a flexible pipe system with a stainless steel primarypipe capable of being tested and even monitored for leaks. TheSECON Available sizes: DN (nom. bore) 40 (1 1/2 "), 50 (2 ") and 100 (4")Max. operating pressure: + 10.0 bar (145 PSIG) or any pressure below atmospheric pressure.
® -X double wall pipe system consists of a helically convolutedstainless steel primary pipe, and a polyethylene secondarycontainment casing pipe. Helical channels are formed by the geometryof the primary pipe around the circumference, aided by longitudinalchannels in the secondary pipe. Both extend over the entire lengthof the pipe. These longitudinal channels between the carrier andcasing pipe provide the necessary annular gap for the safe andcontained flow of leaking product along and within the coaxial pipe.The stainless steel primary pipe of SECON Connection method For connectors see data sheet No. 5.01.16 to 5.01.20.A special graphite ring is used to seal between the corrugated(primary) pipe and the connector. The connector can be supplied with:• Weld neck• Thread • Loose flange or split flangeThe seal between the secondary PE pipe and the connector isachieved with a boot. Installation SECON
® -X is not only safe fromcorrosion but is also a permeation proof barrier. It is also capable of handling the future generation of automotive fuels. Being made of corrosion proof materials SECON
® -X does not need any additionalcathodic protection.
® -X is available ex works coiled in lengths of up to 150 m (500ft). The convoluted primary pipe gives this pipe extraordinary goodbendability for ease of installation. SECON Fields of application SECON
® -X pipes, subject to compliance with local and nationalrequirements, are designed for use as:• Suction pipes• Pressure pipes • Fill pipes
® -X can easily be cut tothe required lengths on site and – where necessary – bent at very tight radii. Unlike with plastic piping there is virtually no spring backonce bent. A feature that makes the contractors job a lot easier andquicker. It also saves money.
