Powder Coating of CuNi90/10

The safe solution for the main problem of CuNi90/10 coupled with
titanium plate coolers

Two problems
1. Galvanic corrosion
2. Erosion by turbulences

Solution
Combination of insulating

Pipe Clamps
General Guidelines

1. It is allways to attend the guidelines of the pipe clamp producers

2. In the near of elbows,
elbows, branches and behind the compensators pipe clamps have to be
adjusted
3. For the distance of the pipe clamps it has to be to attend as follows
- Pipe Dimension
- Pipe Material (Density
(Density,, Strength)

- Pipe Connection (welded,
welded, Couplings)
