Pipeline Components

Borosilicate glass pipeline components find universal application throughout the world’s chemical, pharmaceutical, food and drink and allied industries where the advantage of using glass as a basis for the construction of complete process systems have long been recognized:

• With almost universal resistance to corrosion, a long service life is guaranteed and maintenance is kept to a minimum.
• Their transparency permits visual monitoring of the process at all times.
• Being inert, the risk of contamination is negligible.
• Smooth surfaces allow easy cleaning and sterilization and prevent the build-up of solid on the inner walls.

The complete range of pipeline components is described on the following pages. Components with a standard flat buttress ends are available from DN 25 to DN450.
For standard flat buttress end connections from DN25 to DN300, it is possible to achieve a 3° deflection in the joint by using a flexible gasket. Details of these and all other couplings and gasket can be found in section Couplings. 
The pipeline components described in this section of the catalogue comply, which means that 90° bends, tee pieces and equal crosses are interchangeable.
DN refers to the nominal bore. Unless otherwise stated all dimensions are given in mm.
For permissible operating conditions, please see section Technical Information.
