SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
FLEXWELL Safety Pipe (FSR) was
specially designed for the underground
transport of flammable, water-hazard-
ous fluids. It can be used as a suction or
positive pressure supply pipe. The
FLEXWELL Safety Pipe can be perma-
nently monitored by means of suitable
leak detectors.
CONSTRUCTION
FLEXWELL Safety Pipe is a flexible, per-
manently monitorable, double-walled
pipe system. The FLEXWELL Safety
Pipe consists of a corrugated stainless
steel inner medium pipe, a reinforcing
band and a corrugated outer contain-
ment pipe made of stainless steel. The
annular gap between the inner and out-
er pipes is a surveillance space for leak
monitoring. External corrosion protec-
tion is provided by a PE casing covering
the outer pipe.
RANGE OF APPLICATIONS
• suction pipe
• positive pressure supply pipe
• filling pipe
NOMINAL BORES /
PRESSURE STAGES
FLEXWELL Safety Pipe is available in
nominal bores from DN 12 to DN 150.
It can be operated with positive pressure
up to max. 25 bar.
LAYING THE PIPES
FLEXWELL Safety Pipe can be laid di-
rectly into the trench in one piece. It can
be laid either overground in a trace or
inside of bulidings. The unique corru-
gated pipe geometry of inner medium
pipe and outer containment pipe ensures
excellent flexibility. It can be cut to the
required length at the construction site,
laid ”endlessly“ and bent through tight
radii thanks to its flexibility.
DOUBLE-WALLED FITTINGS
Monitorable through-connections and
T-pieces as well as connectors with
measuring branches are all part of the
comprehensive range of products avail-
able in the FLEXWELL Safety Pipe pro-
gramme.
LEAK MONITORING
The surveillance space between the in-
ner and outer pipes can be permanently
monitored by means of suitable positive
or negative pressure leak detectors.
A wide range of leak detection systems
for different areas of application and
legal requirements is available.
