General working pressures upto 2rd ofthe maximum test pressure shown in the schedules of dmonsion in our catalogue. Couplings aro pressure rated to appropiate pipe standards in common use. For higher pressures, special coupings canbe supplied KLAMFLEX Counlings and Flange adaptors for cas ron mains, carrying water, sewage or gas are sultable fr the pressures for which the plpes are normally supplied. Generally tange adaptors are suitable for the pressure ratings ofthe tlange to which they are connected. The pressure ratings slated inthis catalogue are hydrostatic test pressures, Pipelines under pressure are subject to forces which tend to soparate the ‘component parts. Flexible pipelines, e.g. those jointed with KL AMPLEX Couplings, are particularly subject o forces acting at bends, tees or blank ends. Buried pipelines can generally be restrained by means of anchor blocks al abrupt changes of direction, with the minor forces at each straight jointbeing restrained by sai ricton.

Where surface dressing is required to remove weld beading, care must be taken not to overdress the pipe end causing piting o flat spot.
