times caused by incorrect assembly, experts with a wealth of practical experience can give assembly training and advice or, when required, can undertake the complete assembly process at the installation location. By deciding on installation-ready piping assemblies, the user will significantly reduce the number of subcontractors, thereby appreciably slimming down the procurement process and benefitting from a further cost advantage. Let’s now go into detail on the advantages of the Complete Piping Solutions System. Te system is a modular construction solution
from which the customer can pick out the elements he finds useful. Tis may be advice, when Parker engineers can help with things such as line dimensioning and optimal line routing, or it may be recommendations for optimal component selection. On the basis of this, Parker can develop for the customer a new pipeline design or, if required, can re-engineer existing welded lines into the company’s weldless lines. It is also possible for Parker to prefabricate line systems that have been developed together with the customer. Tis entails installation-ready, weldless piping lines, from 16 to 273mm with ½ to 10in flange connectors, which are produced using the latest CNC-controlled bending technology. If necessary, machining takes place using a mandrel support in order to avoid pipe flattening in the bending zone. Tis gives a bend radius, depending on diameter and application, of 2 to 3D. Last but not least, as needed and when requested
Parker will undertake a pressure test of the pipelines before installation, raise the appropriate documentation and make them up as installation- ready kits, which will of course significantly shorten the assembly process.
Te company carries out prefabrication in Complete Piping Solution Centres. One such centre is in Augustdorf, near Bielefeld, where any Parker tube fittings system may be adapted to customer requirements – for instance, EO-PSR, EO-2, EO-2FORM, the new EO-3, O-Lok, Triple-Lok, Parflange F37 and the Parker High-Performance Flange System. Measurement of sample pipes can be undertaken on site either conventionally or with the latest, contactless 3D measuring instruments. Besides its widely acknowledged competence and
large development capability, Parker has a broad range of innovative products. Tus the Parflange F37 system with its special F37 seal is the ideal product for many marine and offshore applications
up to 10in and is approved by well-known classification societies such as Te American Bureau of Shipping, Det Norske Veritas, Germanischer Lloyd and Lloyd’s Register. It includes ISO 6162- 1 (3,000psi), ISO 6162-2 (6,000psi) and ISO 6164-conforming connection configurations.
With the Parflange 170 machine, quick and simple on-site assembly utilising this user-friendly flared flange system is practically child’s play. Te sizes and pressures cover from ½ to 3in and 3,000 psi/210 to 350 bar in accordance with ISO 6161-1; over ½ to 2in and 6,000 psi/420 bar in accordance with ISO 6162-2; from 2 to 10in and 250 up to 400bar corresponding to ISO 6164. Furthermore, there is a 1,000psi system for return lines from ½ to 10in (50 to 70bar) in the programme. For adaptors and pipe dimensions that do not allow flaring, the retaining ring system is interesting. Te Parflange F37 programme also includes solutions with bonded seal rings, pipe seal carriers and bolt seal carriers. Te wide variety of innovative products related to piping is completed by the High-Performance Flange System with flange sizes up to 4in, which can demonstrate its strength particularly well in extreme installations with dynamic loading and vibrations. l
