PSI Plastic Insulators System

General Information
Polypropylen insulators are universally
applicable in the installation of pipelines
when the carrier pipe runs inside a
casing.
Plastic insulators provide various
advantages:
easy installation of the carrier pipe
since the plastic material reduces
the friction coefficient to a minimum
minimised friction prevents damage
to the protective coating and
insulation of the pipes
a wide range of skid heights ensures
concentricity of the carrier pipe in
the casing if required
excellent insulating properties of
the plastic material ensures: all
requirements of cathodic
protection are met.
Plastic insulators are suitable for all pipe
diameters from 25 mm upwards and
many skid heights are available to suit
specific requirements.

Technical Data
Material

Polyolefines have a good friction coefficient due to steel wax like surface.
The sliding friction coefficient is 0,2 0,3 as for steel has a coefficient of 1,0.
Therefore the abrasion is reduced to a minimum.
The material is strong and yet flexible and is therefore resistant to stress
cracking.
Flexibility of the body, stability of the skid form and excellent dielectric
insulation are some of the good characteristics of this material.

installation

Plastic insulator rings are normally installed with the following spacing
between the rings:
- pipe dia up to
- pipe dia
- pipe dia

300 mm
400 600 mm
> 600 mm

at a spacing of 2,5 m
at a spacing of 2,0 m
at a spacing of 1,5 m

All values are calculated for standard pipes. To determine the correct
distance for your individual application many other facts have to be taken
into consideration such as wall thickness of the carrier pipe, fluid to be
transported If you need any assistance please contact us.

the OD of the carrier pipe (inclusive coating) in mm

PSI Plastic Insulator Ring Type PA/PE System

General Information
Pipe O.D. from 25 mm
to 336 mm

Type PA/PE insulator rings are available for a pipe O.D. from 25 to 336 mm.
They consist of two halfshell-segments. The nuts and bolts required for
assembly are included.
The type code indicates the carrier pipe O.D. in inch and the skid height
in mm (e.g. PA/PE 4-38 = carrier pipe 4", skid height 38 mm).
The skid height is calculated from the difference in diameter of the carrier
pipe and the casing. It is important to consider the actual dimensions,
including coatings, rather than the nominal sizes.
Example:

- PE- coated carrier pipe ND 100


- O.D. (117.9 x 5.2 mm)
- Steel casing ND 200 (219.1 x 6.3)
- I.D. 206.5 mm
- Carrier pipe O.D. 117.9 mm = 88.6
- 88,6 : 2 = 44.3 mm skid height
- Suitable type: PA/PE 4-38

After determining the skid height, the next lower height is selected from
the table (e.g. 44.3 mm, ideal skid height = 38 mm).
The segments can be assembled with the corrosion protected steel bolts
DIN 912 and nuts DIN 562 included.
On request we supply plastic bolts (similar to DIN 84) and nuts (DIN 555).
Up to type PA/PE 4 the insulator rings have 4 skids; from type PA/PE 6
up to 6 skids are provided. The following table gives the technical details
on available sizes, skid heights of the various types and carrier pipe
diameters.

PSI Plastic Insulator Segments Type AZ/AC System

General Information
Pipe O.D. from 98 mm
to 385 mm

AZ/AC insulator rings are used for a pipe O.D. from 98 to 385 mm and
consist of several segments. The number of segments depends on the
carrier pipe's O.D.. The nuts and bolts required for assembly are included.
The universal applicability of type AZ/AC provides two special advantages:
variable ring diameter, which is especially important for thick-walled
pipes whose O.D. substantially deviates from the nominal size
(e.g. AZ/AC pressure pipe ND 16 - vitrified clay pipes);
only two segment sizes are required to assemble ND 100 to ND 350
insulator rings - a decisive edge in stock-keeping.
The skid height is calculated from the difference in diameter of the carrier
pipe and the casing. It is important to consider the actual dimensions,
including coatings, rather than the nominal sizes.
For an example calculation refer to type PA/PE.
The following table gives the technical details on available sizes, skid
heights of the various types and carrier pipe diameters.

Installation Instruction

Put out spacer


elements and
wedges according
to selection table.
Connect elements as
a spacer band (for position
of the wedges per spacer
element see selection table on the
backside), put the mounting link
with grid into the entry of next element,
be aware of parallelism. Push wedges
into the lateral fixing slot until top can be
seen on the other side of the spacer. Mind
the direction of the arrows.

On smooth pipe surface which are in contact with the spacers (e.g. PE, PVC,
steel/cast on PE-coated or stoneware) wrap a shear-secure-tape to guarantee an
optimum security against slipping.
Put pre-mounted elements around the medium pipe and close last joint. Shift the
spacer ring together by hand.
Shift spacer elements together with a screw clamp as far that one or more
wedges can be put in the next fixing slot.
Drive in all wedges with hammer strokes parallel to the pipe. The wedges dont
have to be in fully.
Attention:
The lashes of the smaller pipe diameters (DN 400 600) have to be slightly bent
downwards for an easier insertion.
When mounting more spacer rings please be aware that the skids of the single
mounted rings align together.

PSI Plastic Insulator Segment Type MA System

General Information
Pipe O.D. from 402 mm up

Starting with a pipe O.D. of 402 mm, MA insulator rings consisting of two
segment sizes (MA and MA2) and various skid heights are used to suit the
respective pipe O.D.
The special advantage of these insulators is their universal applicability.
The following rule is used to determine the composition of suitable insulator
rings:
for every 100 mm of pipe O.D. = 1 MA segment
for every 50 mm of pipe O.D. = 1 MA 2 segment
Example: Carrier pipe O.D. 559 = 5 MA segments + 1 MA 2 segment.
The segment's skid height is calculated from the difference in diameter of the
carrier pipe and the casing.
For an example calculation refer to type PA/PE.
The nuts and bolts required for assembly are included.
The following table gives the technical details on available sizes, skid heights
of the various types and carrier pipe diameters.

PSI Plastic Insulator Segment Type RGV System

General Information
For heavy pipes from pipe O.D. 500 mm up

RGV insulator rings are used from a pipe O.D. of 500 mm. They differ from
MA types in having two reinforced load-carrying centre solid skids per
segment. The fastening skids (36 mm high) are for connection only. To
obtain the required pipe O.D., RGV segments are combined with RGV 2
segments.
Special advantages of these insulator rings are their high static loadcarrying capacity and their versatility. The following rule is used to
determine the composition of suitable insulator rings:
for every 100 mm of pipe O.D. = 1 RGV segment
for every 50 mm of pipe O.D. = 1 RGV 2 segment
Example: Carrier pipe O.D. 559 = 5 RGV segments RGV +
1 RGV 2 segment
The segment's skid height is calculated from the difference in diameter of
the carrier pipe and the casing.
For an example calculation refer to type PA/PE.
The nuts and bolts required for assembly are included.
The following table gives the technical details on available sizes, skid
heights of the various types and carrier pipe diameters.

Put pre-mounted elements around the


medium pipe and close last joint.
Draw the screws equally tight to
receive equal pitches between the
spacer elements.
Square nuts have to fit into the
designed cavity of the spacer
segment.
Tighten screws with a torque moment
of max. 8 Nm to fix the spacer ring
irremovable on the pipe.
Screws dont have to be necessarily
completely contracted.

PSI-warranty is limited on the substitute of faulty material. The suitability of the


product has to be tested for the special use by the user self dependent.

PSI Plastic Insulator System

Accessories
Piggyback for cable pipes
Self-adhesive lining

Some insulators can be supplied with a plastic support for cable pipes. They
are fastened by means of straps. For this purpose the support is equipped
with a groove. On request we can supply stainless steel straps and clamps.

The piggyback is welded to the insulator by hot riveting.

Adhesive strips

Also available for PVC and PE pipes as well as for PE-coated steel pipes.
This lining remarkably increases the adhesion of the insulators to the smooth
pipe surface.

Screw clamp

A screw clamp is required to form the ring if the distance between the
two end segments is too large.

Anti-Slip tape
