The specifications resulted
in a challenging pressure
resistance of 4 bar together
with a parallel loading of
diameter SN10,000. Fiberpipe
fulfilled these requirements
with a sanded, cross-wound
pipe. A short reconstruction
time of only a few days was
required. To avoid time-
consuming laminated
connections, Fiberpipe con-
structed a pipeline with key
lock and double O-ring,
absorbing the axial forces
on the pipeline. Due to this
innovation, Fiberpipe reduced
the assembly time and costs
by 80%. Accurate planning
shortened the assembly time, resulting in a
minimal downtime for the factory.
According to plan, the reconstruction took place
within five days, in October 2007. Preparation,
delivery and assembly were carried out as a
complete solution offered by Fiberpipe.
