U-BOLT-COTE
Corrosion can occur between uncoated u-bolts
and pipes due to metal contact. This corrosion and pitting can
eventually develop into pinhole leaks. Metal contact can be completely eliminated
by utilizing APS Pipe Support Pads and APS U-Bolt-Cote.
(As shown to the left.) U-Bolt-Cote is excellent for use on plastic,
FRP, or glass-lined pipe for shock absorption.
U-Bolt-Cote
provides corrosion resistance and cathodic protection. All sizes
are
available. Galvanized long tangent u-bolts ranging in sizes through
20" are readily available. Larger sizes and other types of coating
such as zinc, cadmium, stainless, Xylan (PTFE)
are also available. Standard
APS pipe support pads are die cut from Buna-N rubber. Pre-drilled
thermoplastic rods (either round or half-round) can be provided.
DESCRIPTION
The U-Bolt-Cote
is a seamless, vulcanized, polyolefin material that can be applied
to all types of U-Bolts. It is excellent for eliminating corrosion
problems on pipes in refineries, chemical
plants, paper mills, offshore platforms, rigs, and the shipping industry.
The U-Bolt-Cote also helps to reduce vibration and noise
levels.
ADVANTAGES
-
VERSATILITY - With a wide variety of sizes available, U-Bolt-Cote
can be applied to all makes and sizes of U-Bolts.
-
PROTECTION - A rugged and durable covering eliminates
metal to metal contact.
-
RELIABILITY - U-Bolt-Cote provides high abrasive and
corrosive resistance through a continuous sheath which
eliminate fraying and
unraveling. U-Bolt Cote
is virtually unaffected by heat, ultra violet rays,
vibration, electrolysis, sandblasting or any other rigors
conducive to an industrial and marine environment.
-
EASE OF INSTALLATION - The U-Bolt size has been considered
to accommodate the coating thickness assuring a secure fit
over the pipe.
