VOSS Spotlight
We regularly shine the spotlight on one of our products in our "Spotlight" column and focus on a solution to a specific problem. Short, clear, informative - without frills and served in a bite-sized format. Do you have specific questions about the topic in question? Please feel free to get in touch with us.
In the Spotlight: VOSS BV-10
coupling replacement made easy
Everything has an end, but the tube system has two - or more. But what can you do if one of these coupling solutions leaks? Dismantling and re-manufacturing the tube systems usually cause a great deal of work, which increases with the number of couplings in the system. Bent tubes are also more laborious to replace, as they must first be measured and re-bent. This presents a problem, particularly during on-site inspection, if the appropriate tools are not available. Re-manufacturing the defective tube system thus causes a great deal of effort, which is inevitably associated with high costs.
The solution of your problem
Our 10° flared coupling system provides a remedy as a repair solution, because it is easy and quick to install and can withstand extreme loads. In addition to being a coupling solution for extreme stresses, the BV-10 system is also ideal as a repair solution for defective cutting ring connections due to the length compensation with the special DKO union nut. Instead of making a new line, the fitter saws off the damaged cutting ring behind the sealing surface and installs the VOSS BV-10 system easily with the portable pre-assembly device. Our concept facilitates this easy exchange: because, the VOSS 10° flared coupling system is based on the use of DIN/ISO standardized screwed connecting pieces with a 24° cone.
The BV-10 flared coupling system complements our VOSS tube coupling range for the highest loads and has been specially developed for applications that are exposed to high pressure surges, vibrations and bending moments. The combination of the flared cone and clamping ring ensures particularly high holding forces. The system remains leak-free thanks to the proven DKO sealing head with integrated O-ring on the coupling, in combination with a high surface pressure and clamping grooves on the flared zone of the tube connection side.
For what?
• Applications that are exposed to extreme stresses;
• Lines where classic cutting ring connections reach their limits;
• As an alternative to welded connections;
• For thick-walled tubes;
• For stainless steel tubes with tolerances according to DIN EN 10305-1;
• As a repair solution for defective cutting ring systems.
For whom?
• As a work-saving solution for fitters when repairing damaged tube couplings.
Awesome,
because ...?
