| Steel threaded pipes compliant with DIN 2440, DIN 2441 and DIN 2442 (medium-weight and heavyweight versions) are in widespread use in pneumatic systems. They are used particularly in small and medium-sized distribution and connection lines. Threaded pipes are used everywhere where the demands on the quality of compressed air are not high. They are available in black and galvanised metal.
- Maximum operating pressure 10 - 80 barop
- Maximum operating temperature 120°C
Advantages
Threaded pipes are inexpensive and quickly installed. There are many different and useful shaped parts and fittings to use with them. The joints can be disconnected and the individual parts reused.
Disadvantages
Threaded pipes have a high flow resistance and the joints tend to leak over time. An experienced fitter is needed to install them. Ungalvanised threaded pipes should not be used in networks without a dryer, because they corrode. |
