LINX AS

Latest generation of mechanical pipe couplings

About LiNX | AS - mechanical pipe couplings

LiNX AS is the latest generation of mechanical pipe couplings that use a hydraulic installation tool to press the coupling and pipe together. This cold pressing method creates a metal joint which is a permanent joining method replacing welding.

LiNX AS is designed in accordance with ASME B31.1 and is tested according to ASTM F1387 and type approved by Lloyds Register. The couplings are supplied with material certificates and full traceability.

LiNX AS means that the pipe joint is no longer the weakest part of the pipe system
Requires a minimal installation space

How LiNX AS works

Insert the pipe into the coupling
The outer press ring is pressed axially against the coupling tool flange using the specially adapted installation tool
Inside the coupling, the sealing rings are pressed against the pipe and a gas-tight connection is formed, completely metal to metal

Installation

Preparation

Cut the pipe as straight as possible +/-5° checked with the interpreter
Sand around the pipe with emery cloth 60#
Grind the sealing zone which is 1 ½ x the outer diameter
Using a fingernail, check the surface of the pipe for longitudinal scratches
Degree of inner and outer diameter of the pipe end
Check the outside diameter of the pipe with the interpreter
Using the interpreter, mark the installation and inspection mark on the pipe

Install

Insert the pipe into the coupling
Check the position of the installation mark, that it is half visible
Press the press ring against the tool flange using the hydraulic installation tool

Check

Check that the press ring is fully pressed against the coupling tool flange
Check that half of the inspection mark and the full installation mark are visible
