MAINTENANCE-FREE FLEXIBLE
STEEL PIPE SYSTEMS FROM COFLEXIP FOR FLOATING ROOF TANKS
COFLEXIP
flexible steel pipe for the Petrochemical and Refining industry
has an articulated carcass of spiral-wound stainless steel
covered by an outer thermoplastic sheath. The inner carcass
flexes, but it will not kink or collapse. The internal diameter
maintains its integrity. The outer thermoplastic sheath is
extruded over the pipe, making it completely leak proof and
resistant to most chemicals (even octane additives –
MTBE – and 100% aromatics).
COFLEXIP’s
unique flexible steel pipe eliminates many problems common to rubber
hoses or pipes with swivels, thus making it an excellent solution
for roof drains, rim fire protection systems, skimmer and suction
lines.
