MONOLITHIC INSULATING JOINTS FOR MAINLINES AND SERVICE

PIPELINES

FAP, owner of the PROCHIND™ trade mark, is PROCHIND's insulating joint, has a mechanical
specialized in the manufacturing of monolithic resistance which offer any water tightness warranty
insulating joints with the mission to continue the under high pressures and traction stress.
tradition of the very PROCHIND® monolithic insulating PROCHIND's mainline insulating joints, are usually
joint, for mainlines and service pipeline which have manufactured for the following pressures: 10, 16, 25,
always been noted for reliability and quality. 64 and 100 Kg/cm2 and in the various diameters with
dimensions up to 1400 mm (according to the
PROCHIND ® monolithic insulating joints are catalogue).

PROCHIND™ insulating joints are manufactured by FAP for any type and for any pressure and they are:
• Assembled and tested directly by FAP, so to offer to the customer the complete warranty.
• Monolithic i.e.: the metal components sizing, the position of the sealing gasket and its compression during the
assembly, are such that they give an excellent electrical resistance on the joints, even in presence of fluids.
The electrical insulation between the metallic surfaces, is obtained thanks to:
⇒ Rigid rings composed by insulating material with high mechanical characteristics;
⇒ Special sealing gasket with an high electric insulation;
⇒ Fluid resin (usually epoxy) that fill up all the internal empty spaces forming a very high mechanical and elec-
tric resistance.
• Total electrical resistance, thanks to the high dielectric characteristics of the insulating materials and the coat-
ing of the internal surfaces through epoxy paint suitable for the conveyance of gas, hydrocarbons and drink-
able water.
• Anti tracking, because all the contiguous metal surfaces, are perfectly insulated such to make almost impossi-
ble the creation of electrical discharges between them and their external profile under the tensions for which
they are guaranteed.
• Produced in conformity with UNI-CIG 10284 (PN10) and UNI-CIG 10285.
• Marked PROCHIND™ because FAP Co. Ltd is the owner of the Trade Mark.

WELDING AND NON DESTRUCTIVE TESTS
The metal components that make up the so-called “standards” joints, are joined toghether by me-
ans of “fillet welds”.
If requested, the fillet weld semas, may be checked by non destructive tests using dye penetrants
and magnetoscopic inspections.
With different preparation “butt weld” can be used. In this case inspections by x-rays ultrasounds can
be carried out.
All welding processes are in accordance with ASME VIII and IX and are covered by relevant qualifi-

STD TESTS - All the joints manufactured by FAP, are guaranteed for the following minimal values:
● Hydrostatic test pressure equal to 1,5 times the Nominal Pressure (NP)
● Dielectric test (in air on dry joint):
- Electrical resistance: 5 Mohm minimum - tension 1000 V c.c.
- Resistance to applied tension (without discharge): 3000 V - 50 Hz for 1 minute.
> Additional tests are performed acording to customer’s requirement.
