Covered Couplings

The coupling used with glass equipment are important from two main points of view :.

• They must ensure the effective seal of the joint.
• They should not induce any undue stress in the glass.
• They must be reliable in all service conditions.

In this section we have covered couplings to join glass components together as well as to join glass component with a other metal equipment.
PTFE bellows are available for normal and vacuum applications together with flanges to connect them to glass or non-glass equipment.

STRUCTURE & SUPPORTS

Glass plants are normally supported in a tubular structure formed of glavanised steel tubes. This type of structure is proven robust and flexible over many years.

COMPLETE COUPLINGS

A complete coupling is a set of two backing flanges with insert and nut-bolts. It a complete set of flanges require to make a joint.
