Type RSO
(Repair Clamps)
RSO repair clamp
Stainless steel repair clamps style RSO are used for permanent repairs of broken and damaged pipes.
for water, gas and petrochemical fluids
Application
The RSO repair clamp is in fact a small version of the type 10 repair clamp, having a range of max. 4 mm. The clamp is used on pipes for which type RS 1 clamps are not available due to the small pipe diameter.
The clamps can be used to repair the following pipe types:
- Cast iron (DI / CI)
- Steel (St.)
- Asbestos Cement (AC)
- PE coated steel
- PE
- PVC
- GRP
Romacon repair clamps should be used under following conditions:
- For PVC pipes, the width of the clamps should be 50 % longer and bolt torque should be reduced by 50 %.
- The maximum allowable distance between two pipe ends should not exceed 10 mm.
- The maximum allowable deflection is 2 degrees.
- The maximum allowable offset should not exceed 3 mm.
RSO clamps are available in several different working ranges from 19-23 to 60-64 Available lengths: 75, 100 and 150 mm.
Material specification:
- All metal parts: stainless steel AISI 304.
- Metal parts have been deburred and are passivated to restore the corrosion resistance to its original state after the welding process.Single band (one section) with a workingrange of max. 4 mm. For an overview of all working ranges please see our price-list.
- Standard certified rubber gaskets EPDM or NBR. The rubber is tapered and has a waffle pattern.
- Seamless rubber lining for every clamp diameter.
- Bridge plates are vulcanized into the rubber gasket.
- U-shaped lifter bar.
- Stainless steel, electrolytic zinc plated nuts to prevent galling. Stainless steel washers.
- No loose parts that may get lost during installation.
- No special tools required: a simple wrench will do the job.
- Special tape is used to fix the rubber gasket to the stainless steel band. This tape is flexible and reinforced with glass fibre thread to withstand hot and humid conditions and guarantee a long storage capability.
- Under most circumstances the clamps can be installed without releasing the pressure on the pipe.
- The clamps are packed into strong double-rib cartons. For export overseas we use strong, seaworthy crates.
