General Product Information:
Adjustable aluminum pipe plugs are a simple yet effective accessory for the optimization
of forming and purging & damming processes. They can also be used flexibly and cost-
effectively in complex They can also be used flexibly and cost-effectively in complex pipe
constructions with pipe bends and T-connectors. Thanks to the sealing principle of the pipe
plugs, they can also be used in pipes that are not perfectly round. pipes is possible.
Product features:
- robust construction
- easy handling and versatile application
- corrosion-free
- models with hollow thread for connection to gas inlet or outlet
- special sizes up to Ø approx. 930 mm made of aluminum available on request
Tube plugs made of aluminum are more heat resistant than tube plugs made of plastic
and are also more resistant to many chemicals, especially in combination with the special
special rubber seals available on request:
- Silicone rubber (VMQ), heat-resistant up to 300 °C
- Nitrile rubber (NBR), oil and solvent resistant
- Fluororubber (FPM), resistant to ozone and chemicals
Due to the optimal sealing behavior and the material properties of SCAPP pipe plugs
they can also be used for critical welding applications that require the highest
requirements for an oxidation-free weld. The sealing is achieved
by means of a rubber sleeve, which is squeezed onto a threaded shaft between two washers by
means of a wing nut. between two washers by means of a wing nut. An O-ring seal inserted in
the sealing cap O-ring seal ensures optimum tightness.
Fields of application:
A wide range of possible applications is conceivable: gas-tight forming systems can be
gas-tight forming systems can be set up, and leakage points on pipes can be sealed quickly
and easily:
• Forming gas plugs in welding applications
• Leak tests in the low-pressure range or sealing to protect against foreign bodies, etc:
• House construction: waste water, wells, downpipes, heating, pools, sanitary facilities
• Industry: pipelines, heat exchangers, swimming pools
• Shipbuilding: cavity sealing, scupper blocker
Safety instructions:
maximum pressure: 0.34 bar
The indicated pressure is an approximate value and depends on clamping pressure (number of
number of turns of the wing nut), inner diameter and material of the pipe as well as its
surface condition. The pressure tests were carried out at 18 °C. An increased working
temperature leads to a reduction of the indicated pressure ranges.
