SALIENT FEATURES OF EXTRA CO.

GLASS REINFORCED PIPES

Glass Reinforced Plastics GRP or Reinforced Thermosetting Resin RTR pipes exhibit excellent adhesion, fatigueresistance,
impact strength, chemicalresistance and low shrinkage, leading to lesser stresses in the finished pipe, superior mechanical
andchemicalproperties,longtermperformanceandexcellentfatigueresistanceundercyclicloading.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF RESINS ARE USED, LEADING TO THE FOLLOWING

CATEROGIES:
GRP Using Isophtalic Resin is structural wall and Isophtalic in liner (where applicable). For both underground and
abovegroundapplications,restrainedandnonrestrainedsystems,inmediatemperatureupto600C.

GRV Using Vinylester Resin throughout. For Industrial application where specific chemical resistance is required.
Usedmainlyinabovegroundapplicationsinmediatemperatureupto850C.

GRE Using Epoxy Resin throughout. For industrial application in media temperature upto 120 C. Additional external
protectioncanbeappliedtoallowforadditionalfireretardance.

TYPES OF JOINTS
FLANGED JOINT
To enable connections with steel and to allow for easy assembling and disassembling of process lines, Extra Co pipes and
fittings can be supplied with flanges, drilled in accordance with ANSI, BS, DIN or other specifications. Also, special
requirementscanbemetuponrequest

BUTT & WRAP JOINT

In general these joints will only be used for diameter over 300mm. The preparation of this rigid joint requires good
craftsmanship.

RUBBER SEAL LOCKED JOINT

This type of joint consists of an integral filament wound socket end and a machined spigot end. The Oring seal is positioned
on the spigot end. The locking device is inserted through an opening in the socket end. It fits in a circumferential groove on
the inner side of the spigot end and rests against a shoulder on the socket end. The rubber seal lock joint allows for some
axialmovementaswellasacertainangulardeflection

ADHESIVE JOINT
Pipes are produced with integral socket and spigot ends. Ends are slightly tapered. The inside of the socket matches with the
outside of the machined spigot. The two components of adhesives, namely epoxy resin and hardener are supplied in
appropriatelysizedcansincorrectmixingratio.

Go Top

NONRESTRAINED JOINTS
Bell and Spigot Joint
The socket end of this joint is an integral filament wound part of the pipe with reka ring sitting in a groove built The Spigot
end is a machined part on which Oring seal is positioned. The flexible joint allows for axial movement of the spigot in the
socket

Double Bell Coupling Joint

Short pipes are joined using double bell coupling. The sealing of the joint is achieved by the compression of two
electrometricrubbergasketswhenthejointisassembled.
