Pipe rack

Continuity connection system with Injection Sleeve for H-elements in pipe-racks

The PIPE RACK system is part of the new B.S. Italia continuity connection system with INJECTION SLEEVE.

The solution is developed for the connection of H-elements in pipe-racks and allows the continuity connection between reinforced concrete structures to be managed.

APPLICATIONS OF THE PIPE RACK SYSTEM

Connection of H-elements in pipe-racks
The system is intended for the connection of H-elements in pipe-racks by means of the B.S. Italia continuity connection system with INJECTION SLEEVE. The connection makes it possible to achieve the structural continuity of the reinforcements between the two reinforced concrete structures.

OPERATION OF THE PIPE RACK SYSTEM

Vertical height adjustment and verticality of the structure
The continuity connection system allows adjustment of the set height and of the verticality of the structure. This characteristic makes it possible to absorb any errors in the casting of the foundations by means of specific plumb systems: brackets, threaded rods, RS25.

Coupling by means of the continuity connection sleeve
The continuity connection sleeve allows high coupling tolerance thanks to the large diameter of the sleeve. The sleeve can be used with rebars of different diameters, from ø 12 to ø 32.

Double adherence of the sleeve
The shape of the continuity connection sleeve is designed to guarantee the internal and external adherence of the system.

ADVANTAGES OF THE PIPE RACK SYSTEM

High coupling tolerance
The large diameter of the continuity connection sleeve allows high coupling tolerance between the elements.

Universality with rebars from ø 12 to ø 32
The continuity connection sleeve can be used with rebars of different diameters, from ø 12 to ø 32.

Anchorage in continuity connection
Anchorage in continuity connection is guaranteed by the reinforcement of the foundation itself, which continues towards the column. The system therefore allows perfect emulation of in-situ structures.

Fire resistance of the connection
B.S. Italia anti-seismic continuity connections are adequately covered and therefore protected by the concrete of the structure.

INSTALLATION AND MANAGEMENT OF THE PIPE RACK SYSTEM

Fixing and centering set for the sleeves
The continuity connection sleeves are secured by means of a special fixing and centering system that can be connected to the metal templates. The metal templates are therefore fundamental for the correct positioning of the inserts.

Consultancy for templates and technical assistance
B.S. Italia S.p.A. can offer, subject to commercial agreement, specific consultancy for the design and manufacture of the templates. Technical assistance can also be provided at the place of manufacture of the products and/or on site.

TECHNICAL DATA AND DESIGN SUPPORT

Structural calculation of the continuity connection
The structural calculation of the continuity connection is not necessary, given the guaranteed emulation of traditional in-situ solutions as continuity connection. The system guarantees the perfect continuity connection of the reinforcements between the two reinforced concrete structures. The connection provides guaranteed structural continuity and therefore does not require any additional calculation.
