oe DIELECTRIC UNIONS & FLANGES WEICCO Dielectric Unions / Flanges provide a convenient, cast effective means of protecting piping systems with dissimilar metals from deterioration due to galvanic corrosion. WEICGO offers the largest range of sizes ‘and connection options of Dielectric couplers available from eny source Product Application Based on their electroposivity and relative position on the Periodic Table of Elements, metals exhibit anodic ‘or cathodic proportics when coupled with other motals in the presence of an electrolyte, such as water. The atural flow of electrons ‘torn the anade (metal with higher electrical potency) tothe cathode creates 2 penmanent current which corrodes the anode at the joint, This is known as galvanic corrosion. The degree ‘of corrosion isa Tuncion of the extent of aissimiianty between the two metals, the electrical conductivity of the fluid medium and fluid temperature For example, direct coupling of MS pipe with Copger / Brass wil lead to rapid deterioration of the MS pipe at the joint. Since steel is the more anodic of the metals, itwill sacrifce tse to protect the copper surface. Left unchecked, this corrosion can cause perforations in the piping, potentially leading to system failure and large maintenance expenses. Corrosion caused by stray electrical currents and induced currents due to hhoavy electrical equipsnent in the vicinity can further aggravate the damage. WEICCO Dielectric Unions / Flanges permit joints to be made between dissimilar metals in piping systems, ‘while ensuring dielectric insulation between tem. The joint s0 formod is fully protected against corrosion. Accordingly, usage of WEICCO Dielectric couplings is, recommended wherever a joint is required between pipes of different metals. Ina convenient and cost ‘ffective manner they cantriaite significantly towards: LA. + Extending the lifespan of piping installations + Improving system relibility ‘+ Insuring against unexpected maintenance costs Specifications + Rated Prossure: Unions 25 Ko/em?
